Himalayan Climber: A Lifetime's Quest to the World's Greater Ranges
Doug Scott Manufacturer: Sierra Club Books for Children ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 087156954X |
Book Description
"One of the finest picture books on mountaineering I have ever seen. The photos are ravishing, full of life and color and action."Steve Roper American Alpine Journal
"A detailed record of Scott's career, with every picture a non-climber would ever want to see of mountains, rock walls and granite peaks around the world -- a scrapbook of stunning photographs for climbers and aficionados." Washington Post
"Himalayan Climber retraces -- with breathtaking photos -- the author's lifetime of ascending major ranges." Chicago Tribune
Doug Scott's historic ascent (with Dougal Haston) of the South-West Face of Everest in 1975 brought him to the forefront of Himalayan climbing at a moment of transition. Their success was achieved from the basis of one of the last old-style expeditions to attempt a major new climb, but the evolution that followed totally transformed the way climbers tackled the greatest peaks.
During their descent Scott and Haston were forced to make a hazardous bivouac in a snow hole at the extreme height of 8750 metres. Normally this would have killed or crippled them, but by drawing on all their experience they survived it unscathed. It was thus clear that with a bolder approach based on better techniques, and also by taking advantage of improved equipment, the menace of high altitude could be handled. Thereafter, an elite international group, of which Scott was a leading member, began tackling the highest peaks in the rapid style used in the Alps. Scott soon completed a string of major climbs on Shishapangma, Shivling, Nuptse, and, notably, on Kangchenjunga, where his North Ridge ascent (with Pete Boardman and Joe Tasker) ranks among the great Himalayan climbs.
These successes could not have been achieved without a deep inner confidence and an instinct developed through years of experience in climbing throughout the world. He has visited the ranges of the Sahara and East Africa, Iceland, the great peaks of Canada, Alaska, and the Soviet Union, making important first ascents on Denali, Pik Lenin, and Mount Kenya. He has also maintained a continuing interest in big-wall climbing in Yosemite, the Rockies, the Dolomites, and Baffin Island.
But it is the Greater Himalayan range that has remained the central theme of his climbing, and over twenty-six visits he has climbed in its most fabled regions, including the Hindu Kush, Tibet, the Karakoram, Ladakh, and Bhutan. It is in this serene mountain remoteness, amongst people with a lifestyle so different from our own, that Scott finds the ideal atmosphere in which to savor and understand the aftermath of a big climb: being allowed to see that which is normally hidden by the complexities of modern life."
Scott is a killed photographer, and this new edition of his pictorial record of a remarkable climbing career has been keenly awaited. In his own words "the photos are of the climbs that have captured my imagination, have taken me out of myself, gripped with fear shattered with exhaustion, or filled with wonder just to be there. If they stimulate and motivate others to take a step into the unknown, then this book will have been of some value."
Customer Reviews:
One of my favorite photographic volumes to date.......2000-08-24
Not only does this volume aid in picking out lines on various large peaks, but it shows Scott as he truly is: an introspective hippie with a physique made for moutaineering. It stands to reason then, that Scott picks very hard and interesting lines on mountains all over the world, from snow and ice to big-walls, to high altitude.
If you are a mountaineer, you should have two books on your coffee table. This one, and Chris Bonington's "Mountaineer" in the same format. Then your friends might just understand why you climb.
Gorgeous pictures; Great climber; Boring Writer.......2000-06-30
The pictures are fantastic, but the problem with this book is Scott's writing. He is terrible at conveying what it really feels like to be way up in the freezing and isolated Himalaya, or hanging from a vertical rock.
A great writer like Jon Krakaur or Joe Simpson can spend pages explaining how their fingers were numb; their bladders were full, but it was too cold to do anything about it; the wind slammed the tent against their faces, etc., so you know what it really feels to spend a shivering night up in the mountains. In contrast, Scott will say, "and so we spent the night on the mountain and it was really cold. So, the next day......." The writing is cold [no pun intended], and rather boring.
For readers interesting in great mountaineering writing, I would recommend Into Thin Air by Jon Krakaur; Touching the Void by Joe Simpson and/or The Last Step by Rick Ridgeway, all well written. They cover less geographical ground than Scott, but they are all great reads.

Tug of War: Today's Global Currency Crisis
Paul Erdman Manufacturer: Palgrave Macmillan ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0312158998 |
Book Description
In recent years, the value of the U.S. dollar has fluctuated wildly. Japanese investors have lost billions in U.S. markets, causing an almost unprecedented run on the dollar. The leaders of the world currency markets were forced to band together to push up the value of the U.S. dollar. Tug of War: Why You Should Care About the Global Currency Crisis is the riveting story of this flow of money around the globe and what it means for us today.In 1991, the Mexican government tied the value of the peso to the dollar. As the peso slid and almost vanished, the fortunes of the dollar waned. Investors around the world, especially the Japanese, lost confidence in the dollar, creating a soaring yen and dragging down the value of the dollar even more. Subsequent events in the world currency markets pulled the dollar in even more directions: rogue traders lost billions on bad deals; the European Union began determining the value of its own currency; Japanese banks admitted enormous, previously concealed, losses. The tug of war continued. Paul Erdman, as well-known for his ability to predict financial markets as for his ability to write a suspenseful story, clearly explains the tangled basis and continuing strength of the currency crisis, gives his predictions about the future, and offers advice to market masters on the direction they should pursue. Significantly updated for this paperback edition, Tug of War, as compelling as any novel, is certain to be one of the most important financial books of this or any other year. Readers will not want to be left out when Erdman predicts the winner in this economic battle.
