Life and Limb
The amazing story of Jamie Andrew - the Scottish mountaineer who lost his limbs to frostbite, but has since rebuilt his life in an inspiring wayJamie Andrew's rescue after five nights trapped by a ferocious storm on Mont Blanc has passed into Alpine legend; his survival was miraculous - but his close friend died in his arms, and Jamie himself lost both his hands and legs to frostbite. His description of that episode is both enthralling and harrowing.The book also describes Jamie's life since he so nearly died - coming to terms with the death of his friend, and his own disability. Within three months, he had learnt to walk again on prosthetic legs - and since then he has married his long-term girl-friend, Anna, and, astonishingly, both climbed Mont Blanc again and run in the London Marathon. Life and Limb is not only an epic of survival and tragedy in the mountains, but an inspiring story of one man's absolute determination to continue living life to the full in the face of enormous difficulties.
Wyeth
"For decades, Andrew and Jamie Wyeth have provided a continuous backdrop against which the twists and turns of American art can be compared, contrasted, and benchmarked.

Readers will be able to assess their predilection for the images in a more nuanced way, underpinning their reaction to an emotionally charged image with knowledge and practical understanding"--

For Catherine Lockerbie, writing in The Scotsman, it was a 'languid' atmosphere: 'A most beautiful and musically constructed gaze at life and death over the ripening fields and above the strawberries.'
