Charlie Carroll’s obsession began with his chance discovery of Seven Years in Tibet in the “Adult Reading” section of his grade school library. The battered hardcover with faded gold lettering sparked a twenty-year obsession with Tibet, and after combing through every book, article, and documentary on the mysterious and controversial nation, Charlie finally decided it was time to stop reading other people’s records and thoughts. A high school English teacher by then, he took a sabbatical and set out to experience the shrouded land for himself. Contending with Chinese bureaucracy, unforgiving terrain, and sickness-inducing altitude, Charlie sought entrance to twenty-first-century Tibet in all its heart-stopping beauty. The same year Charlie was browsing library shelves, Tibetan-born Lobsang was crossing the Himalayas on foot, enduring to flee the volatile region with his family at the young age of five. An exile in Nepal with an ear for languages, then a university student in India, he followed the love of his life back to their home country, only to be separated by China’s harsh political backlash. In a teahouse at the border between China and Tibet, Lobsang met Charlie and recounted his extraordinary life story, exemplifying the hardship, resilience, and hope of modern Tibetan life.

"On 20 August 1980 Reinhold Messner reached the summit of Everest alone and without the use of oxygen. His vivid account of this extraordinary achievement forms the core of [this book] but it is not merely an adventure story. Messner describes with clarity and passion his journey through Tibet, his emotional reactions to this mysterious country of snow, ruined monasteries, and yak caravans. He identifies with the legendary mountaineers who have been before him and Mallory, Irvine and Wilson come to life as he makes his ascent to the 'roof of the world.' The glittering light and oxygen-starved air lead Messner to profound reflection, and a mountaineering adventure becomes the vehicle for an exploration of self and of the world. Born in 1944 in the South Tyrol, Reinhold Messner did most of his early climbing in the Dolomites and the Western Alps. By the age of twenty he had climbed most of the hardest routes. ... In 1969 he took part in his first expedition to the Andes ... In 1970 he made his first ascent of a Himalayan summit, Nanga Parbat. The next sixteen years saw his conquest of all fourteen 8,000-m peaks, of which his climb of Everest in 1980 is the subject of this book. Messner has also climbed mountains in North America, Kenya, New Guinea and Antarctica."--Dust jacket.

On Australia's mountains, the great sagas of the earth from its earliest days are inscribed for those who care to look closely. Alasdair McGregor traces the rise and fall of the Australian continent, from mountains of ice and fire to those of iron and those with their heads in the clouds. An expansive contemplation of natural, geological and social history, McGregor's account defies Australia's reputation as the flattest continent on earth, illuminating the landscape in all its breathtaking height and glory. Australian mountaineer Greg Mortimer describes his own long connection with mountains big and small, and his particular affection for the ancient peaks of Australia.

Imagine the North American Indians as astronomers carefully watching the heavens, charting the sun through the seasons, or counting the sunrises between successive lumar phases. Then imagine them establishing observational sites and codified systems to pass their knowledge down through the centuries and continually refine it. A few years ago such images would have been abruptly dismissed. Today we are wiser. Living the Sky describes the exciting archaeoastronomical discoveries in the United States in recent decades. Using history, science, and direct observation, Ray A. Williamson transports the reader into the sky world of the Indians. We visit the Bighorn Medicine Wheel, sit with a Zuni sun priest on the winter solstice, join explorers at the rites of the Hopis and the Navajos, and trek to Chaco Canyon to make direct on-site observations of celestial events.
