Download or read book Yak on Track written by Heather McNeice and published by Affirm Press. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It seemed like a good idea to Heather at the time: organise a challenging trek to raise funds for the education of young Bhutanese girls. Heather had walked in the Himalayas before, so how hard could it be on the trail to Lunana, Bhutan?s most remote plateau? On the 240-kilometre trek, she discovers that `hard? doesn?t even come close. Along with her friend Krista, like-minded lover of mountains and margaritas, a team of eccentric guides and far too many horses, Heather sets off into a landscape of savage beauty, where yetis are feared and only yaks feel at ease. As the team face blizzards, avalanches, altitude sickness and snow blindness, their reward is a rare glimpse of life in the last Shangri-La. At its heart, this book is a love song to Bhutan and its people, an intimate portrait of the only remaining Buddhist kingdom of the Himalayas. Yak on Track is a delightful story about losing yourself but not losing your way. Heather is donating a portion of her royalties from the sale of this book to the Australian Himalayan Foundation in support of a scholarship program for disadvantaged children in Bhutan.

Book Synopsis Unsung Battles of 1962 by : Gurdip Singh Kler
Download or read book Unsung Battles of 1962 written by Gurdip Singh Kler and published by Lancer Publishers. This book was released on 1995 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Colonel Kler has vividly narrated the battles fought on the Himalayan borders during the Sino–Indian War. He is eminently fit to write this book since he personally fought alongside the frontline soldiers and for hours, in daylight and darkness, he remained at a breathing distance from the enemy. The theme of the book is threefold. Firstly, the author has refuted the acrimonious allegations that Indian troops abandoned their trenches and fled from the battlefield in the face of the enemy in 1962 without any fight and has discounted the slanderous tales about the cowardice of our soldiers. Secondly, contrarily, the writer narrates the gallant acts of the Indian solder under the most adverse conditions of height, terrain, arctic weather and extenuating communications. Fighting on the exterior lines, when poorly supplied, troops magnificently stood out in the face of waves of ferocious and overwhelming assaults of the veteran Chinese soldiers of the Korean war where they jabbed through the ranks of the American Army. Though the Indian troops were denied offensive air support, artillery cover was meagre and the terrain was unsuitable for the employment of armour, the performance of the troops was magnificent. Fighting pitched battles, some Indian sub-units in Thagla, Bumla, Walong and Chasul sectors were completely wiped out. Troops fought out tenacious patrol encounters around Sela and kept the enemy at bay for almost a month. They also uprooted enemy roadblocks at Nyukmadong, below Sela. Thirdly, Colonel Kler has made certain pragmatic and cogent suggestions regarding re-location of Headquarters Eastern Command and its formations in the distant, increasingly active and vibrant East. He has some ideas to put forward about the defence forces in general. He has also advanced practical and sound solutions regarding the vexed historical frontiers with China and the festering Jammu and Kashmir problem, they legacy of the partition of the subcontinent. The two balanced solutions can certainly impart stability to India and the region.
Download or read book Aftershock written by Jules Mountain and published by Eye Books (US&CA). This book was released on 2017-05-08 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jules Mountain is a survivor. The odds of surviving his type of cancer were one in five. The odds of dying on Everest are one in 60, but these are severely shortened when factoring in an avalanche triggered by the 2015 Nepal earthquake. Jules lived to tell both tales, which he does in a way that conveys the agony and euphoria that extreme adventurers face, even when things go according to plan. And yet this is not merely an account of what happened in the aftermath of the most deadly disaster ever on the world's most iconic mountain. It is an exploration—internal as well as physical—of how logic, compassion and risk assessment are affected by altitude, vested interests and the stress of extreme circumstances.

Book excerpt: Calling readers and daydreamers, word mavens and lovers of adventure! This celebration of the power of books is a rallying cry for letting imaginations soar. We learn important stuff from books. We learn to speak and think. We learn why icebergs stay afloat . . . and why Titanics sink.

How about learning how to bottle moonlight, or track a distant star? There are endless things to discover and whole universes to explore simply by reading a book. But books are only smears of ink without the reader’s mind to give their letters meaning and bring them to life. With a rollicking, rhyming text and delightful artwork, poet and storyteller Allan Wolf and illustrator Brianne Farley remind us that books, no matter how they may be consumed, give readers of every background an opportunity to expand their world and spark their imagination. With infectious enthusiasm, No Buddy Like a Book offers an ode to the wonders of language—written, spoken, and everything in between.
Download or read book Fragile Edge written by Maria Coffey and published by The Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Maria Coffey's tale is at once a deeply personal love story and a penetrating look into the world of professional climbers. Such clarity and honesty are seldom seen in mountain writing." - Greg Child, author of Postcards from the Ledge Critically acclaimed Fragile Edge won the coveted the International Literary Mountain prize for Maria Coffey's eloquently written story of how climbing tragedies affect those who are left behind. This is a powerful story describes how she survived the loss of her long-time partner, dealing with the sorrow and confusion, anger and healing. With openness and honesty, Coffey describes her love affair with elite British mountaineer Joe Tasker, who perished with his climbing partner Peter Boardman while attempting Everest's then-unclimbed Northeast Ridge in 1982. She relives her experiences, first within the hard-partying mountaineering scene and then during her long journey to understanding and acceptance of the tragedy that cost her the man she loved. She gives us an insider's view of the life of a world-class mountaineer and recounts her deeply moving pilgrimage with Boardman's widow across Tibet, a journey that retraced Tasker and Boardman's steps to their abandoned Advance Base Camp at 21,000 feet on Everest.
