Summary

The first serious attempt on Everest: the reconnaissance, the north col, the oxygen argument, Finch and Bruce at 27,300 feet, and the avalanche that killed seven porters. Charles Bruce led the expedition and this is the official account, with chapters by Mallory, Somervell and Longstaff. It is the record of the moment when the mountain stopped being theoretical.

    Whiskey Wanderlust and Woven Tales

    No good story begins with "we were just drinking water." 
    They begin with a cocktail. And a choice. 
    Ten stories from the American South. Ten drinks that unlock them. One unforgettable journey through the places and moments that change everything. 
    A hardware store revelation over Jack and Coke. A roadside  epiphany with a Sidecar. An Olympic memory preserved in something amber and strong. Each tale in "Whiskey, Wanderlust, and Woven Tales" arrives with its own invitation—mix this, sip slow, and let the story find you. 
    This is the South beyond the postcards: raw, real, and complicated. Where strangers become family over bourbon. Where truth lives at the bottom of a glass. Where the best stories are the ones you almost didn't tell. 
    David Sedaris-style wit. Anthony Bourdain-level hunger for authentic experience. Served neat, with a Southern drawl. 
    Each story unfolds in three acts: The Spirits, The Tale, The Ponderance. You provide the glass. These stories provide everything else—the humor, the heartache, the moments that stick with you long after last call.

  • Noble Savage Deadbeat Dad - How Rousseau Invented Modern Society While Failing at Basic Human Decency - cover

    Noble Savage Deadbeat Dad - How...

    In this mercilessly funny takedown, Jean-Jacques Rousseau—history's most insufferable philosopher—gets the roasting he so richly deserves. "Noble Savage, Deadbeat Dad" exposes the spectacular hypocrisy of a man who abandoned five children at orphanages while writing the definitive guide to education, preached natural virtue while exposing himself to strangers, and railed against wealth while living off rich patrons. 
    Laugh out loud as we dissect Rousseau's greatest contradictions: his fetishization of indigenous cultures (without meeting any actual indigenous people), his belief that society corrupts natural goodness (while engaging in deeply unnatural bedroom activities), and his conviction that he alone understood true freedom (while being pathologically dependent on others for basic survival). 
    This savagely irreverent guide reveals how a paranoid, chronically constipated Swiss misanthrope somehow managed to inspire both democracy AND totalitarianism between bouts of accusing everyone he met of conspiring against him. With brutal honesty and razor-sharp wit, we explore how Rousseau's complete disaster of a personal life somehow produced philosophical insights that still haunt us today—especially when we complain about technology ruining society while scrolling through social media. 
    Perfect for philosophy students in desperate need of comic relief, or anyone who enjoys watching narcissistic geniuses get thoroughly eviscerated. Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable laughter and concerned looks from serious academics.

    The Wild Garden was first published in 1870 but it is still hugely relevant to our gardens today. He introduced the world to the concept of wild gardening - naturalising hardy plants from Europe and North America and introducing them in ways that allow their natural way of growing to shine - that is still being implemented in the 21st century.   
    This is the third edition of the book that was published in 1883.
