Mountain Madness - Robert Birkby

Mountain Madness Mt. Everest and the Life & Legacy of Scott Fischer Robert Birkby Genre: Mountaineering Price: $1.99 Publish Date: February 1, 2008 Publisher: Kensington Seller: OpenRoad Integrated Media, LLC A biography of the legendary mountain climber that “rounds out the portrait of Fischer sketched in Krakauer’s best-seller Into Thin Air ” ( The New York Times Book Review ).   Scott Fischer found in Mount Everest a perfect landscape for his fearless spirit. Scaling the world’s highest peak tested his skills, his courage, and his endurance. His legendary final expedition—and its tragic outcome—are portrayed in Everest , the 3-D movie adaptation starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Scott Fischer. Now Robert Birkby, renowned outdoor adventure writer and one of Fischer’s close friends, captures in this intimate and stirring portrait of the climber what led him to trek to the top of the world—before he left it altogether.   Mountain Madness is “a vivid portrait of a superb athlete whose love of mountain climbing drove everything he did” (Ed Viesturs, author of No Shortcuts to the Top ). Also included are a new introduction and updated epilogue, as well as new photos exclusive to the digital edition.   “A much fuller picture of a climber widely critiqued in the high-profile coverage after the Everest tragedy.” — Seattle Post-Intelligencer   “A fitting homage to one of the great outdoor extremists.” — Kirkus Reviews   “Birkby succeeds in illuminating the power mountains can exert over the human soul.” — Publishers Weekly http://dlvr.it/R1ctb3

Your March/April issue is on sale now!

From writer’s cottage to stately castle to royal holiday home, this issue of BRITAIN takes us around the country to celebrate big anniversaries, UNESCO recognition and the new series of Netflix TV drama, The Crown

Which would you rather visit, Jane Austen’s humble Hampshire cottage with its rose-wreathed doorway, or stately Belvoir Castle, so regal that it stands in for Windsor Castle in The Crown? Well, luckily you don’t have to choose, as this issue we take you round both Austen’s home and the rather grander residence of Her Grace, The Duchess of Rutland. And if you’re planning a trip to visit, you’ll love our Heritage stays feature: a cherry-picked selection of places to stay with history, such as our cover star, Appleby Castle in Cumbria.

Elsewhere, we applaud the recent UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status awarded to the Isle of Wight and explore Queen Victoria’s home there. On the way back to the mainland, we encounter the Mayflower sailing into the unknown and follow its trail along England’s southwest coast. For art history lovers, we’ve also done a tour of British Baroque, from Blenheim to St Paul’s in the capital.

Slip back in time on the Isle of Wight, whose villages have a vintage flavour and whose chalk downs and stunning coast were beloved of Queen Victoria. It takes less than an hour to reach the Isle of Wight from the English mainland, but as you emerge from the ferry you travel back half a century.

One of the greatest stars of Netflix drama The Crown is Belvoir Castle. Her Grace, The Duchess of Rutland tells us about her custodianship of this stunning stately home and what it means to be a modern Duchess. No tiaras needed!
