Base Camp
Author: Dianne Whelan
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781927575437
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Each spring, over eight hundred climbers attempt to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. The conditions are challenging, and without warning can become life-threatening. Some make it to the top of what is considered the world's most majestic mountain, but others are not so lucky, and in the attempt to reach the elusive summit, many more have tragically lost their lives. Not all are recovered, their bodies left to the mountain. In the spring of 2010, 18,000 feet above sea level, documentary filmmaker Dianne Whelan immersed herself in the challenging and captivating world of base camp on Mt. Everest. In this personal and eye-opening expos , BASE CAMP: 40 DAYS ON EVEREST, Whelan shares gripping stories of Maoist rebels, avalanches and dead bodies surfacing out of a dying glacier. From her perspective at base camp Whelan interviews climbers, doctors and Sherpas all living for months on end in the belly of the mountain as they wait for a weather window to summit the top of the world.Woven into the personal stories of these climbers is the devastating truth of the human impact on the mountain and the eerie and unforeseen effects of climate change. Experts believe there are over 250 bodies buried on the path from base camp to the peak of Mt. Everest. With the glacier melting and moving at over four inches a day, the toll of the human desire to conquer the mountain is slowly and irreversibly surfacing at base camp.

Beyond Tribal
Author: Anne Carr
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525559060
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
Like most immigrants, Anne Carr and her husband, Geoffrey, adjusted their world view when they emigrated from Britain to Canada in the 1960s. The differences they found in their new country took them out of their comfort zone and made them question prior assumptions about the way to live. The experience also made them wonder if they belonged to any one place. Beyond Tribal explores how identifying ourselves as part of a group can give us a much-needed sense of belonging, yet it can also create walls that result in judgement towards others who are not like us. As well as discussing nationality, the author describes how factors as varied as class, media, the arts, landscape, and gender, may provide us with a sense of unity or separateness. Part memoir, part thoughtful and evocative essays, this book is for anyone concerned about the future of our small planet and whether globalization and diversity will win the day over tribalism and nationalism.
