This adventure classic captures everything from the historical to the deeply personal in a gripping account of an ambitious first ascent of the Southwest Face of Shishapangma. As Alex MacIntyre describes it, "To climb it became an ambition, but not just to climb it, we had to make the ascent with style, as light, as fast, as uncluttered as we dared, free from umbilical cords and logistics, with none of the traditional trappings of a Himalayan climb. The wall was the ambition, the style became the obsession." Placing the expedition into a historical context, Doug Scott presents a wealth of historical detail about the region while Alex MacIntyre provides a unique commentary on the "big peak" way of life-from the frenzied preparations to the clashes of personality, the affection, and the humor.

Hamish Fulton (b. 1946) first came to prominence in the late 1960s as part of a distinguished generation of young British artists who were engaged with extending the possibilities of sculpture. Known as a sculptor, photographer, conceptual artist, and land artist, Fulton prefers to characterize himself as a walking artist. His walks have taken him to locations as varied as Japan, the Himalayas, Italy, India, Iceland, and the deserts of Montana, as well as throughout England.This volume, published to accompany an exhibition at Tate Britain in Spring 2002 of new and recent work by Fulton, is lavishly illustrated with an 80-page section of new photographic and text work made by Fulton especially for the book. It also includes an essay by Andrew Wilson tracing the artist's career and influences, an in-depth interview with the artist by the exhibition curator, Ben Tufnell, and contributions by the environmentalist Bill McKibben and mountaineer Doug Scott, whose texts explore issues central to Fulton's art.

Himalayan Climber: A Lifetime's Quest to the World's Greater Ranges

Sierra Club Books

This is a photographic autobiography of Britain's most prolific and experienced expedition climber who has been particularly successful in advancing Himalayan climbing. Although Scott has climbed areas throughout the world in the Soviet Union, USA, Canada, Alaska, Sahara, Baffin Island, Kenya, Iceland and Norway it is for his sequence of major Himalayan climbs that he is most renowned. Of particular relevance are his ascents of the South West Face of Everest in 1975, the North of Kanchungunga in 1979, the Ogre in 1977 and the South Face of Shisa Pangma in 1982. From the author of "Big Wall Climbing" and "Shisha Pangma".

Don't believe those who say you can't go home again! You clearly can return to a time and place that you once loved, as Dan Parrish learned, when he flew back to Misery Bay, Michigan for his father's funeral. Dan decides to remain in town to help solve a murder that took place the night of a beach party forty years ago when he was a teenager. As the mystery unfolds, Dan discovers that he is able to reconnect easily with the friends and neighbors he left behind. Though the circumstances of these people are far different now, he can still see wild and crazy Fritz Pickett spinning his car out of control on an ice-covered lake at midnight; weed-smoking Tootie Lots-of-Rubbage stealing the door of a police car during his nightshift at a local grocery store; and sexy Candi Smith recoiling in horror when a photo of her naked in the locker room is pinned to the Main Office bulletin board.  Life on Misery Bay is for those who wish they could return to the days when they didn't have a care in the world. When hanging out with friends was all that mattered. When life was simple - and fun.
