In May 2000, a small team of Aspen, Colorado-based sportsmen set out to climb and ski one of the world's highest peaks. Shishapangma, Skiing the Highline: The Account of the First American Ski Descent from an 8000-Meter Peak is the gripping true story of determination and grit in which author Mike Marolt recounts pushing the edge of extreme sports with his twin, Steve, and lifelong buddy Jim Gile. Together, they reached the pinnacle of their progression from childhood climbing and skiing to conquering the highest peaks in the world. In Shishapangma, Skiing the Highline, the mountaineering trio overcome overwhelming odds and threats to their own well-being as they successfully climb and ski Shishipangma, the fourteenth-highest mountain in the world, in what would lay the foundation for a trio that became arguably the most accomplished high altitude skiers in history.

"Examines the relationship between skiers and the Alpine environment since the late nineteenth century. It argues that skiing and winter tourism modernized the Alps in both material and perceptual terms while the Alpine landscape itself challenged skiers to alter their practices and philosophies of sport, leisure and nature, harmonizing Alpine skiing with modern cultural values and social practices in the twentieth century"--Provided by publisher.

Roland Huntford's brilliant history begins 20,000 years ago in the last ice age on the icy tundra of an unformed earth. Man is a travelling animal, and on these icy slopes skiing began as a means of survival. That it has developed into the leisure and sporting pursuit of choice by so much of the globe bears testament to its elemental appeal. In polar exploration, it has changed the course of history. Elsewhere, in war and peace, it has done so too. The origins of skiing are bound up in with the emergence of modern man and the world we live in today.

Many climbers dedicate a lifetime to the conquest of the Alpine peaks over 4000 metres high, but Martin Moran and Simon Jenkins set out to climb all 75 of them in one continuous journey. Furthermore, they shunned motorized transport, and instead used bicycles to travel from one starting point to the next. Faced with blizzards, white-outs and thunderstorms, and fighting hunger, exhaustion and near-despair, the two men succeeded in their attempt, covering more than 1000km, including 70,000 metres of ascent, in just 52 days.

Am Ende des 19. und am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts war Albanien ein Land, das es zu entdecken galt. Das ewig unruhige Balkanland gehörte noch zu dem in Zerfall begriffenen, großen Osmanischen Reich und war für europäische Reisende nicht einfach zugänglich. Dennoch strömten viele europäische Forscher und Reisende nach Albanien, um den letzten weißen Fleck auf der Karte Europas zu erkunden. Unter ihnen spielte der österreichische Ingenieur Karl Steinmetz eine besondere Rolle. Im Gegensatz zu den meisten Entdeckern und Reisenden war er auf seine Expeditionen gut vorbereitet. Er lernte albanisch, scheinbar gut, und war dadurch in die Lage versetzt, selbstständig kreuz und quer durch die bis dahin schwer zugänglichen Berge zu reisen und mit den angeblich so schießwütigen Einheimischen umzugehen. Diese Ausgabe umfasst die drei Reiseschilderungen des abenteuerlustigen Karl Steinmetz aus den Jahre 1903, 1904 und 1905.
