  For famed cinematographer, adventurer, and mountaineer David Breashears, the terrifying experiences on Mount Everest during the deadly 1996 season became the defining moment of his life. By 1995, Breashears had already twice reached Mt. Everest's summit. Then he faced the greatest challenge of his life: to scale the 29,028-foot peak while hauling a giant IMAX camera to film the documentary Everest.
  In this extraordinary memoir, Breashears takes that perilous challenge, during which nine climbers would tragically perish, and uses it as the linchpin of his life. High Exposure reveals an inextricable link between this enigmatic man's troubled childhood, his brilliant successes as a climber and cinematographer, and his courage and honor in the face of disaster.

  Get a rare glimpse into the mind of Karrion Kross
  		 
  "Life is Fighting is a must-read for any fan of the wrestling business." — Kofi Kingston, WWE Grand Slam Champion, 16-time Tag Team Champion
  		 
  His physique and unbridled intensity are enough to inspire fear. Factor in a unique combination of precision and abject ruthlessness, and it becomes clear that anyone stepping into the ring with him is in immediate danger. A master of catch wrestling and jiu jitsu, Kross has done battle around the world. He boasts an array of devastating suplexes. And if that's not enough, he's more than happy to put opponents to sleep . . . But despite his menacing exterior, the human being behind the character—Kevin Kesar—is soft-spoken and highly thoughtful. Recognized by his peers for his exceptional love for his profession, Kesar endured numerous setbacks on the way to achieving his dream. Along with his wife, Elizabeth—known in WWE as Scarlett—he has repeatedly found the fortitude to bounce back stronger. In Life is Fighting he shares the real story.

  Foreword by Henrietta Knight.
  From King Henry VIII to Queen Elizabeth II, via the introduction of the Classics, a duel at Ascot, the first steeplechase, a Derby Day fraud, a huge Cambridgeshire gamble, the desolation of Fred Archer, a thousand-mile walk around Newmarket Heath, the greatness of Ormonde and Sceptre, Man o' War's record-breaking runs, National Velvet and Emily Davison, to the brilliance of Lester Piggott, Tony McCoy and Frankel, Peter May has selected over one hundred days that encapsulate five hundred years of the Sport of Kings.   
  His short, informative, easy-to-read essays bring to life racing's milestone events that set the nation on a different path, such as the 1913 Derby, and the sacrifices horseracing made to support the British military campaigns overseas.    A host of anecdotes tell of the exploits of the racing fraternity and cast light on the psyche of those who were prepared to take on bets which, at today's rates, would stretch into millions.    Sure to rekindle fond, and maybe distant, memories of the races and horses that once dominated the sporting section of the daily newspapers.
