  Thieves Liars and Mountaineers -...

  Mark Horrell

  This is the tale of Mark Horrell’s not-so-nearly ascent of Gasherbrum in Pakistan, of how one man’s boredom and frustration was conquered by a gutsy combination of exhaustion, cowardice, and sheer mountaineering incompetence. 
  He made not one, not two, but three intrepid assaults, some of which got quite a distance beyond Base Camp, and overcame many perilous circumstances along the way. The mountaineer Joe Simpson famously crawled for three days with a broken leg, but did he ever have to read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown while waiting for a weather window? 
  But that’s enough about Mark’s attempt; there were some talented climbers on the mountain as well, and this story is also about them. How did they get on? Heroes, villains, oddballs and madmen – 8,000m peaks attract them all, and drama, intrigue and cock-ups aplenty were inevitable.

  Spain away from the roads - the Coto Doñana marshes, the sierra, the bustard and the ibex - by a naturalist who shot much of what he describes and then spent his old age arguing for its protection. The marshes he wrote about are now a national park. This edition binds 59 plates of painting with the text, among them works by Rosa Bonheur, Albert Bierstadt and J. M. W. Turner, and restores and colours its three in-text illustrations.
