Patrick K. O'Brien / World History (Coffee Table Book) ✓ In Stock

From the cradles of early civilization in China and Egypt, through the strife of the Middle Ages to the accelerated technological explosions of late twentieth century society, the history of the world is an enthralling, twisting tale of endeavor and determination. This new book revels in the wars and treaties, the pioneers and the treasures, the people who altered the course of history and those who held it back. In A-Z format, with extensive thematic cross-referencing World History explores those achievements of humankind and of those individuals, like Einstein, Broudicca and Michaelangelo, who continue to have a major impact on our understanding of our world and its past and the way that past informs our future.       This book is second hand, and while you may not get the same publication/version/reprint/edition shown in the picture it will be the same author and title.

Maurice Isserman / Fallen Giants : A History of Himilayan Mountaineering (Coffee Table Book) ✓ In Stock

The first successful ascent of Mount Everest in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa teammate Tenzing Norgay is a familiar saga, but less well known are the tales of many other adventurers who also came to test their skills and courage against the world's highest and most dangerous mountains. In this lively and generously illustrated book, historians Maurice Isserman and Stewart Weaver present the first comprehensive history of Himalayan mountaineering in fifty years. They offer detailed, original accounts of the most significant climbs since the 1890s, and they compellingly evoke the social and cultural worlds that gave rise to those expeditions. The book recounts the adventures of such figures as Martin Conway, who led the first authentic Himalayan climbing expedition in 1892; Fanny Bullock Workman, the pioneer explorer of the Karakoram range; George Mallory, the romantic martyr of Mount Everest fame; Charlie Houston, who led American expeditions to K2 in the 1930s and 1950s; Ang Tharkay, the legendary Sherpa, and many others. Throughout, the authors discuss the effects of political and social change on the world of mountaineering, and they offer a penetrating analysis of a culture that once emphasized teamwork and fellowship among climbers, but now has been eclipsed by a scramble for individual fame and glory     This book is second hand, and while you may not get the same publication/version/reprint/edition shown in the picture it will be the same author and title.
