'A truly astonishing account of suffering and fortitude... the narrative acquires an irresistible force, carrying all before it.' - THE SUNDAY TIMES on Touching The Void.  Mountaineer Joe Simpson wrestles with the perplexing nature of aggression and violence - their eruption in himself, in others, in societies, in nature.  He recalls the terrifying avalanche that nearly wiped out his base camp on Gangchempo in the Himalayas.  While climbing on Cho Oyo, he meets a band of Khampas fleeing from the brutality of Chinese oppression in Tibet.  A violent brush with a skinhead in Sheffield is mirrored in his chilling encounter with the Peruvian police.  On Huascaran, Peru's highest mountain, he learns of the earthquake which buried eighteen thousand people - reminding him of his boyhood visit to the Nazi concentration camp at Belsen.  Joe simpson won the Boardman Tasker Award and the NCR Award for Touching the Void, which received universal applause and was published in thirteen languages.  The classic Touching the Void is available from Ulverscroft. 0708922473 œ12.99

This work on the theory of education was first published in 1839. The five writers had been chosen as the winners in a competition for an essay on the 'Expediency and Means of Elevating the Profession of the Educator in Society', organised by the Central Society of Education, founded in 1837 to promote state funding of education, at a time when the 'monitor' system, whereby older children taught younger ones, was seen as an effective (and money-saving) method. The journalist John Lalor (1814-56) won first prize with a wide-ranging consideration of all the aspects of education, comparing the status of teachers through history and across several countries, and championing their 'sacred mission'. The runners-up were the writer John A. Heraud, the Unitarian minister Edward Higginson, the lawyer and author James Simpson, and Mrs Sarah Porter, prolific writer on education and sister of the political economist David Ricardo.
