Book excerpt: A breathtaking and lavishly illustrated autobiography in essays on Anatoli Boukreev, the late world-famous mountaineer and author of The Climb. When Anatoli Boukreev died on the slopes of Annapurna on Christmas day, 1997, the world lost one of the greatest adventurers of our time. In Above the Clouds, both the man and his incredible climbs on Mt. McKinley, K2, Makalu, Manaslu, and Everest-including his diary entries on the infamous 1996 disaster, written shortly after his return-are immortalized. There also are minute technical details about the skill of mountain climbing, as well as personal reflections on what life means to someone who risks it every day. Fully illustrated with gorgeous color photos, Above the Clouds is a unique and breathtaking look at the world from its most remote peaks.

Book excerpt: Together with Chris Bonington and other distinguished British climbers, Stephen Venables was high on the unclimbed and sacred mountain of Panch Chuli when, at 1am on a dark Himalayan night, his abseil failed and he fell catastrophically, somersaulting from rock to rock and landing, seriously-wounded, at the end of a rope suspended above a 50-degree icefield. This is the story of his arduous and almost miraculous survival, and of the brilliant, committed teamwork which brought him to safety.

Book excerpt: A mountaineering yearbook, including articles, expedition reports, book reviews, obituaries, memoirs, geography and history. The Alpine Journal is the world's principal mountaineering year-book and essential reading for all who love the mountains, in particular those who climb in the Alps and the Greater Ranges. In the 106th edition of the Alpine Journal Doug Scott describes his encounter with a remarkable tribe in remote mountainous jungles high up in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh - a refreshing antidote to the high-profile media-managed expeditions of the modern professional era. Elsewhere, Martin Price looks forward to the International Year of the Mountains 2002, examining the environmental and economic issues facing mountain regions all over the world. George Band has a rare chance to explore one of the most fragile of those regions, the Nanda Devi Sanctuary. The role of women in mountaineering is also examined in articles about Ginette Harrison, Beatrice Tomasson and Hester Norris. Award-winning biographer Peter Gillman returns to the subject of the yeti and leading alpinists Athol Whimp and Ian Parnell describe their adventures.
