Everest: Mountain without mercy February 26, 2008
This is another awesome book to show Mount Everest. If you like nice pictures of mountains(especially Mount Everest), this is the best.
Great book January 11, 2008
As a former climber, I've always been fascinated by Everest. This is a wonderfully written and beautifully photographed account of the ill-fated assault on Everest that took a number of lives.
Especially sad, since as I was reading it yesterday, we got word of the death of Sir Edmund Hillary.
Awesome Everest December 25, 2007
A stunning photo-journal of Everest, focusing on the tragic/heroic month of May 1996. Excellent narrative accompanied by fantastic photographs.
Mt Everest: spectacular photography July 13, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I bought this book for the photography alone: this is as close as I am ever likely to get to the Himalayas.
The photographs are spectacular, and I can see why so many people are challenged to want to make the journey to Base Camp if not further. Appearances can be deceptive: beautiful colour photographs portray a seemingly benevolent picture of Everest which is quite at odds with reality.
Recommended for those with an interest in the Himalayas as well as to those who admire beautiful photography.

Completely Fascinating! March 29, 2007
This book is for anyone who has an interest in Mt. Everest. The photographs are magnificent. They show just how small mankind is. Our hopes, dreams and accomplishments are put in perspective. I loved it!
