Everest, Inc. by Will Cockrell is a very interesting, and informative book, shattering some cliches which have been around for decades

Dr. Mimi Zieman’s perspective on being the only woman on the expedition, and that on the human body is very interesting and enlightening

This is not the standard book about Mt. Everest. The story starts when the English Empire was at its height, and ends before the famous 1953 summit expedition.

This not just an adventure story but one of resilience and courage Having the advantage of having a keen eye, and a degree in geology gives a unique perspective

I did enjoy the book though, I didn’t learn as much. Tech culture is fascinating from the inside and even more fascinating reading an outsider’s view of it

Ms. Boskoff’s life was fascinating, full of taking chances in both personal and professional areas, as well as living a good, ethical life educating people.

Levi’s book The Periodic Table (published in 1975), which links qualities of the elements, was named the best science book ever written by the Royal Institution of Great Britain.

The strength of the book is in the way Mr. Krakauer tells the story, combining an adventure with social commentary without resorting to dry timeline lists

I recently read & reviewed Above All Things by novelist (and Poet Laureate for Lake Ontario) Tanis Rideout. The book tells of George Mallory conquering Everest

Above All Things by Tanis Rideou is an interesting book to discuss, the story is multilayered, the narrative is poetic and the action is exciting.
