Den Mount Everest zu bezwingen und auf dem "Dach der Welt" zu stehen, ist für viele Menschen ein Traum. Aber es sind nicht nur Profisportler, die der Berg anzieht. Auch Menschen im vorgerückten Alter, mit Handicap oder nach überstandenen Lebenskrisen wagen sich an diese Herausforderung. Was treibt sie an?Iris Hadbawnik porträtiert in diesem Buch Bergsteiger, die auf dem legendären Gipfel standen – oder an ihm scheiterten. Sie sprach mit ihnen über ihre ganz persönlichen Motive und die Abenteuer, die sie am Berg erlebten. Zudem schildert die Autorin die spannende Besteigungsgeschichte, erklärt, wieso es auch heute noch zu zahlreichen Todesfällen am Mount Everest kommt, und berichtet von außergewöhnlichen Rekorden. Außerdem zeigt sie, dass der Mount Everest nicht nur für Bergsteiger Anziehungskraft besitzt: Auch Läufer, Radfahrer, Snowboarder, Schwimmer, Apnoetaucher und Gleitschirmflieger können dort ihre Träume leben.

The most apocalyptic war of all is coming. The battleground of Armageddon is being prepared. The war will not be between the forces of good and evil, but between the intelligent and the stupid. Intelligent humanity - 10% of the human race - will take on Stupid humanity, the remaining 90%. The legions of dunces, clowns, idiots and Dunning-Kruger fantasists will expect to use their sheer force of numbers to overwhelm the smart. But they will never even see their enemy, let alone engage them. The smart people will be using weapons that they will deploy from thousands of miles away. The dunces won't know what hit them. They will be praying to their gods, or meditating, when they are engulfed by the Apocalypse. Too late, they will grasp that knowledge is power, that prayers and meditation have never achieved a single worthwhile thing. The Logos species have always lacked the will to beat the Mythos species. Once they have the will, nothing will stop them. The End Game is coming. It's time to choose your side.

'Everest by fair means - that is the human dimension, and that is what interests me ... In reaching for the oxygen cylinder, a climber degrades Everest ... a climber who doesn't rely on his own strength and skills, but on apparatus and drugs, deceives himself. In May 1978 Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler became the first climbers in history to reach the summit of Mount Everest without the use of supplementary oxygen - an event which made international headlines and permanently altered the future of mountaineering. Here Messner tells how the and Habeler accomplished the impossible - and how it felt. He describes the dangers of the Khumbu Icefield, the daunting Lhotse flank, two lonely storm-filled nights at 26,247 feet, and finally the last step to the summit. Everest: Expedition to the Ultimate is a riveting account of the exhaustion, the exhilaration and the despair of climbing into the death zone. The book also includes a history of the mountain, successful ascents and Messner's reflections on recent tragedies on Mount Everest. Reinhold Messner was the first to climb all fourteen peaks higher than 8,000 metres. The author of more than a dozen books on his adventures, he lives in a castle in northern Italy.
