Everest: The History of the Himalayan Giant

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Since it was "discovered" in 1852, the fascinating pyramid of rock that is Mount Everest has haunted the dreams of generations of explorers. Through thrilling photographs and detailed, engrossing text, this book recounts human defiance of this Himalayan colossus: from the expeditions of the 1920s, which provided the first blood offerings to the deity of the snows, to the attempts that brought Hillary and Tenzing to the top in 1953, to the "high altitude tourism" that now attracts roped parties of mountain climbers from every corner of the world.
