Years after surviving a helicopter crash that left him stranded on the slopes on Mt. Erebus in Antarctica, explorer and writer Charles Neider learned that he now had to face cancer of the prostate. In Adam's Burden, eighty-six year old Neider records his treatment of the disease and the new awareness it has brought him of his frailty and his strength. Neider interviews others whose lives have been altered by the same condition, and tells of the changes in his own life with insight and openness.
