5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent and informative.,
By Cameron M (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: To the Top: The Story of Mount Everest (Hardcover)
The informative, but easy and readable style of this book will allow for many people to actually enjoy reading non-fiction about something they might have been required to study. The sections on how physically demanding the trek to Everest is were interesting. Amid all the IMAX films and articles, I'd forgotten what an amazing feat of the human body this is. It's very historical too, and hearing about the forgotten people who came before Sir Edmund Hillary was a treat. Coming from someone who has hiked up Everest himself, it makes the book all the more rewarding and fascinating. The author has been in all of these frozen, dangerous places! Excellent and informative.

Everest by Steven Venables,
By Joseph S. Maresca "Dr. Joseph S. Maresca CPA,... (Bronxville, New York USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: To the Top: The Story of Mount Everest (Hardcover)
The work depicts many color prints of Mount Everest. It shows theGreat Trigonometrical Survey of India, a View from the Top, Artifacts for the 1953 Mt. Everest Expedition and a Portrait of a Tibetan mother and child. There is an interesting Buddhist monk wearing a yak headdress. The presentation contains some historical data on Sir George Everest and pictures of various expedition forces in process of climbing the famous mountain. This book is a worthy purchase as a gift for a child or senior citizen. |
