The stories we tell, published or otherwise, condition our mountain experiences in practice and reinforce cultural memory and representation. Yet, as this book and the authors within it set out to demonstrate, if we look beyond the boundaries of this ‘singular white history’ there is a rich diversity of stories to tell. This volume contributes to a growing body of scholarship that calls for a heterogeneity of voices in mountain memoir genres. For the first time, this diverse scholarship interrogates how mountaineering literary and media culture impact bodies, spaces, and places, in order to nuance how commodification intersects across social categories and is embodied in multi-dimensiona...
The President of the United States has called upon a team of world renowned archeologists to search out the resting place of Noah’s ark. Rising to the challenge are Dr. Andrew Rogers and Dr. Kathleen McGregor accompanied by seven female students who have obtained their PhDs. However, something sinister is at work. The nine companions are quickly scattered into four separate but equally important missions ranging from dinosaur bones, remains of a giant civilization, to even a missing link in the Amazon. Unable to communicate with each group during the separate expeditions, neither is aware of the obstacles faced by the others. Initiated as a friendly competition with an intriguing wager, the four teams find themselves in the fight of their lives. As their plans unravel, each team becomes concerned for the others, hoping to survive and come to their rescue. The pinnacle of this climatic search is hidden high in the mountains of Ararat. But this vicious beast has a secret. She is determined to destroy anyone who attempts to reveal it. Why not share a story with us that will certainly bring tears to your eyes? In the end you will have surely been entertained by A Mountain’s Secret.

* Includes never-before-published letters and photographs * Written by an Irvine family member Mallory and Irvine. These two names have been inextricably joined since the two climbers disappeared on Mount Everest more than 75 years ago. Could they have been the first to reach the summit of the world's highest mountains-some 30 years earlier than Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay? Mallory's story has been well chronicled, but Irvine has always been overshadowed by his more famous climbing partner and little has been written about him. Who was he? Why was he invited by the British Everest Committee to join the 1924 expedition despite his limited mountaineering experience? And why did Mallory, ...
It is 1955, and deep in the Australian bush, an old stone house stands lost in a haze of yellow wattle blossom, unseen by a human being for more than thirty years. That is, until a lonely young girl comes upon it and begins to dream... At age sixteen, Alison is mature and independent beyond her years, having survived the death of her mother, then her father. Leading a solitary life, with stepparents who barely notice her except as a household drudge, she relies on her own determination and inner strength rooted in her faith. But this faith is even further tested when, returning home late one evening, Alison overhears talk not meant for her ears-her stepmother confessing her open resentment, ...
