Amatt, John STRAIGHT TO THE TOP AND BEYOND
Canmore, AB, Canada Kan-Sport Publishing 1998 0968310109 Trade Paperback New
'Adventure isn't hanging on a rope on the side of a mountain. Adventure is an attitude that we must apply to the day-to-day obstacles in life - facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities, testing our resources against the unknown and, in the process, discovering our own unique potential.' In Straight to the Top and Beyond, John Amatt, a mountain climber, educator, and President of One Step Beyond WorldWide, uses the metaphor of adventure - climbing Mount Everest - to articulate a strategy for addressing the challenges of a rapidly-changing world. Straight to the Top and Beyond is a fascinating account of the author's climb on Mount Everest; it is also an inspiring call to businessmen and women to become adventurers; to seek out difficulty and to stretch their potential. John Amatt, mountain climber, CEO, and author of the book Straight to the Top and Beyond, is one of North America's most requested professional speakers and has delivered over 1,500 presentations to corporate and professional audiences of over 750,000 people in more than 35 countries worldwide. For more than 30 years, John has led expeditions to remote regions of Peru, Nepal, China, Greenland, and explored areas of Arctic Canada, making many first mountain ascents. At age 20, John made the first-ever ascent of the 5,000-foot Vertical Mile Troll Wall in Norway. Some years later, following his participation in Canada's 1st successful expedition to the summit of Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain, John founded One Step Beyond WorldWide, an innovative educational and motivational company dedicated to teamwork development and pursuit of personal peak performance in work and play. John uses the metaphor of adventure to present strategies for addressing the challenges of our rapidly-changing world. To succeed, we must learn to become risk-takers, to become visionary and adventurous in dealing with the new social, political, and economic environments in which we will be forced to live.

Anderson, Ian Sitting Bull's Boss: Above the Medicine Line with James Morrow Walsh
Surrey, BC, Canada Heritage House Publishing Company, Limited 2000 1895811635 Trade paperback New
The story of Major James Walsh, 'the original Mountie,' and of Sitting Bull who fled to Canada after Little Big Horn. No Native American in U.S. history has provoked more emotion and interest than Sitting Bull. His often misunderstood role in the Battle of the Little Bighorn and his subsequent self-imposed exile have rarely been explored. The events that followed the demise of General George Custer and his 7th Cavalry when they fought Sitting Bull's warriors brought together some of the most fascinating characters of the post-Civil War frontier era. In the aftermath of battle, Sitting Bull's Sioux eluded U.S. Army commander Nelson Miles while gradually moving north to the border or 'Medicine Line' as the Sioux nation knew it. There Sitting Bull and 5,000 followers met a man wearing a red coat. He was James Morrow Walsh of the North West Mounted Police and he represented the 'Great White Mother of the North.' Walsh was the only white man Sitting Bull would ever trust. This is a story of two men and how their unlikely bond built on truth and respect would be buried by the hubris of politicians.

Austen, Peter Rocky Horrors, Frozen Smiles : A Mountaineer at the End of His Rope
Surrey, BC, Canada Heritage House Publishing Company, Limited 2000 1894384121 Trade Paperback New
Avalanches, lightning on mountaintops, high-altitude diseases, grizzly bears, the unpredictability of people under extreme stress, hypo-thermia, and even exploding volcanoes-these are Peter's 'Rocky Horrors.' This book contains refreshingly unconventional stories combining climbing with travel, culture, and adventure. Here the journey is at least as important as the objective. The characters range from the anally retentive to the hilarious. Peter Austen has adventured in 60 countries over 40 years and returned intact from many famous peaks including Everest in Nepal, Mount Communism in Russia, Mont Blanc in France, Mount Robson in Canada, the Cascades of Washington State, and Alpamayo in Peru. He reveals the sometimes unavoidable and very human errors that occur, and writes of his mishaps and amusements in a style that makes for fascinating reading. Peter Austen's writing is for armchair mountaineers and serious climbers alike. This is his second book, following Everest Canada: The Climb for Hope.
