A fascinating and beautifully-written story." —Bradford Washburn * One of National Geographic Adventure's "The 100 Greatest Adventure Books of All Time" * Spring 2013 marks the 100th anniversary of the first ascent of Mount McKinley * New edition includes a revised preface, new prologue, and new afterword describing more recent winter attempts on McKinley In 1967, eight men attempted North America's highest summit: Mount McKinley (now known as Denali) had been climbed before—but never in winter. Plagued by doubts and cold, group tension and a crevasse tragedy, the expedition tackled McKinley in minimal hours of daylight and fierce storms. They were trapped at three different camps above 14,000 feet during a six-day blizzard and faced the ultimate low temperature of -148° F. Minus 148° is Art Davidson's stunning personal narrative, supplemented by diary excerpts from team members George Wichman, John Edwards, Dave Johnston, and Greg Blomberg. Davidson retells the team's fears and frictions—and ultimate triumph—with an honesty that has made this gripping survival story a mountaineering classic for over 40 years. Minus 148° is featured among many "best of" reading lists, including National Geographic Adventure's "The 100 Greatest Adventure Books of all Time." "At twenty-two I came to regard the first expedition to Mt. McKinley in the winter as a journey into an unexplored land. No one had lived on North America's highest ridges in the winter twilight. No one knew how low the temperatures would drop, or how penetrating the cold would be when the wind blew. For thousands of years McKinley's storms had raged by themselves." —Minus 148° This title is part of our LEGENDS AND LORE series. Click here > to learn more.

Early Winter (Learning to Live, Love and Laugh Again After a Painful Loss)
Author: Howard Bronson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781649214683
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
In the Psychological profession, there was a problem in the grief support protocol: It just wasn't working, especially when a husband or father had died. Grieving widows and children were paying lots of money for professional advice, and the advice was sound and logical. But it wasn't comforting. Then after his own father was killed, author Howard Bronson just began writing, without direction, goals or any structure. The result is this special book you now see. Bronson wrote from the heart, to the heart. That's what was missing. Anyone can speak to our heads and give us methods for recovery. But few can speak to the heart where the real hurt is. If you're grieving, this is the book to read. It won't magically make your sorrow disappear, but it will show you that you are not alone in your heartache, and that it's okay to heal, and that you will feel better over time. Also, of note, excerpts of this book have been quoted alongside quotes of both Abraham Lincoln and Aristotle in the Gibson Bereavement book, 'In Sympathy.'
