Amazon.com ReviewAmazon Best Books of the Month, October 2011: It’s tempting to call Wade Davis’s magnificent Into the Silence an Everest of a book. But that would be misleading. It is more like K2: challenging, technically complex, and hugely rewarding upon completion. The book starts off not with mountaineering, but with vivid, novelistic descriptions of the horrors of the First World War. Years of waste and destruction in the trenches, Davis argues, “led a desperate nation to embrace the assault on Everest as a gesture of imperial redemption.” Those who endured attempts on the summit all bore the scars of the Great War—and they were drawn to the mountain by an almost contradictory desire for conquest and spiritual ablution. At the center of it all is Mallory, whose eventual disappearance effectively closed that chapter in mountaineering. His utterance “because it’s there” became a new war cry, but he climbed for deeper reasons entirely. -- Chris Schluep What climbing Everest taught me about George Mallorys Ive been fascinated by the legend of George Mallory and whether he was the first person to climb Everest since long before I became a mountaineer Many years and catalogmetrolibraryorg - LS2 PAC Log in with either your Library Card Number or EZ Login Library Card Number or EZ Username Last Name or EZ Password Remember Me Wade Davis Wade Davis is an Explorer in Residence at the National Geographic Society He is the author of fifteen books including the international best seller Serpent and the Andrew Irvine (mountaineer) - Wikipedia Andrew Irvine; Born: Andrew Comyn Irvine 8 April 1902 Birkenhead Merseyside England: Died: 8 June 1924 (aged 22) North Face Mount Everest Nepal: Cause of death Wade Davis Anthropologist/Ethnobotanist Information Wade Davis was named by the NGS as one of the Explorers for the Millennium he has been described as a rare combination of scientist scholar poet and passionate News: Breaking stories & updates - News Telegraph Latest breaking news including politics crime and celebrity Find stories updates and expert opinion Human Origins Project Human Evolution Information Facts Read about the Human Origins Project and get information facts and more about hominid research from National Geographic Home - Sno-Isle Libraries Thanks for visiting!
