Expedition leader John Hunt's account of the first ascent of Mount Everest's summit in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay.
In The Art of the Idea, Hunt addresses everyone from the global boardroom to the man on the street, bridging the gap with ease. Few can argue with Hunt's claim that it is ideas that move the world forward, and he refreshingly articulates that anyone can play: there is no hierarchy to original thinking. He demonstrates how to create space so ideas can breathe. Unassuming, original, and accessible, the publication is accompanied by 20 original artworks by the internationally acclaimed South African artist Sam Nhlengethwa. The Art of the Idea grants permission to trust your instincts, endure initial ridicule, and practice thinking as a team sport. Whatever your idea is about ideas, this book will change it
This book presents a remarkable selection of first-hand accounts from 40 of the foremost modern mountaineers, showcasing the rich adventure of mountain climbing. It explores the evolution of climbing across various regions, from the Alps and remote European ranges to North America's big walls and icy terrains, as well as the challenges of South America, Antarctica, and the Himalayas. Each section provides historical context, highlighting pioneering exploits such as Charles Houston's vivid memories of Nanda Devi and K2 in the 1930s, Bradford Washburn's 1937 ascent of Alaska's Mt. Lucania, and Sir Edmund Hillary's reflections on Everest in 1953. The narratives also include contemporary climbers' experiences, like Catherine Destivelle's eleven days on the west face of the Dru, Paul Piana's and Todd Skinner's near disaster on El Capitan's Salathe Wall, and Barry Blanchard's harrowing moments on Mt. Temple's north face. Other climbers, including Rutkiewicz, Venables, and Messner, share their exhilaration, success, failure, and redemption in the mountains, each contributing to a diverse array of climbing styles and writing. This collection enriches the reader's understanding of the enduring allure of climbing.
