Book Description
A renowned climber and National Geographic photographer shares his incredible adventures—and the early trauma that drove him to seek such heights. “An extraordinary memoir of mental illness that reads like a thriller.”—Amy Ellis Nutt, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author of Becoming Nicole “In order to escape madness, I will live madly. I will risk my life in order to save it.” Growing up in the mountains of Utah, Cory Richards was constantly surrounded by the outdoors. His father, a high school teacher and a ski patroller, spent years teaching Richards and his brother how to ski, climb, mountaineer, and survive in the wild. Despite a seemingly idyllic childhood, the Richards home was fraught with violence, grief, and mental illness. After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and dropping out of high school, Richards subsumed himself in the worlds of photography and climbing, seeking out the farthest reaches of the world to escape the darkness. Then, in the midst of a wildly successful career in adventure photography, a catastrophic avalanche changed everything, forcing Richards to confront the trauma of his past, evaluate his own mental health, and learn to rewrite his story. The Color of Everything is a thrilling tale of risk and adventure, written by a man who has done it all: He’s stood at the top of the world, climbed imposing mountain faces alone in the dark, and become the only American to summit an 8,000-meter peak in winter. But it is also the story of a tumultuous life—a stirring, lyrical memoir that captures the profound musings of an unquiet mind grappling with the meaning of success, the cost of fame and addiction, and whether it is possible to outrun your demons. With exquisite prose and disarming candor, accompanied by stunning photos from his career, Richards excavates the roots of his trauma and shares what it took for him to climb out of it.

Pages : 484
Book Description
In 2013, my daughter Emily, died. It hurt like something I cannot describe, and, for a time, I wondered if I was destined to be childless. I'd always been complimented on being great with kids and, I began wondering if the reason my daughter was taken from me was because I had more to give to the world than a single lifetime of lessons. That's when I started this book. In 2014, my wife Renee was pregnant again, and an 800 pound pipe fell on the space a few centimeters from where I was standing, and miraculously bounced away from me. That's when I decided to finish this book. I realized that regardless of whether I was destined to be a Dad or not, that I may, or may not, have the time to say all the things I'd like to say to my son. This is everything I know.

From Adam to Omega
Author: A.R. Roberts
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532093101
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 541
Book Description
Due to government secrecy, the public never learned of the numerous UFO incursions at strategic nuclear weapons installations where they disabled ICBM missiles and even activated their launch codes. They never heard about UFO encounters reported by police officers, civilian and military pilots and astronauts, and they were never told the real facts of the Roswell event. The volume of evidence suggesting we are not alone, and probably never have been, is overwhelming. It suggests an alien agenda to accelerate the evolution of the human race. To understand what is happening requires knowledge of what is going on today as well as the past, particularly during the biblical era. Much has been learned through the Freedom of Information Act, from whistleblowers, and government and military officials. This book connects the dots suggesting what aliens have been doing for the past several thousand years.
