  From the Mountain’s Edge: A True...

  A True Story Of Risk, Resilience and Survival 
  After a life-changing neck injury left him paralysed, Ed Jackson defied the odds to walk again. Driven by a renewed perspective on life and determination to push his limits, Ed set out to climb Himlung Himal—a 7,126-meter peak deep in Nepal’s Himalayas. But as the climb unfolded, what began as a daring expedition quickly became a test of survival. 
  Joined by fellow climbers Ben, Beetle, Arron, and their guide Bigraj, Ed faced extreme conditions—treacherous glaciers, near-misses, and snowstorms that prevented the team from summiting. When altitude sickness forced Ben to turn back, Ed made a fateful decision just meters from the top, realising that success wasn’t about reaching the summit but knowing when to stop. As they descended, the true danger revealed itself. 
  Stranded on the side of the mountain with no shelter, minimal food and water, and fading hope, the team endured a harrowing night, unsure if rescue would ever come. Isolated in the freezing wilderness, they confronted not only the unforgiving elements but their own fears, doubts, and vulnerabilities. With Bigraj’s courageous efforts and a helicopter rescue arriving the next day, the climbers narrowly escaped with their lives. 
  From the Mountain’s Edge is more than a tale of adventure. It’s a powerful story of resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity, the bonds forged through teamwork, and the courage it takes to recognise when a goal has stopped serving you. As Ed reflects on the perilous journey and the emotional toll it took, this book becomes a profound meditation on the strength it takes to walk away—and the lessons that come from facing life’s greatest challenges head-on. 
  Ed Jackson's From the Mountain’s Edge is a Sunday Times bestselling book that chronicles his journey from paralysis to scaling the Himalayas. This inspirational autobiography is a powerful blend of mountaineering, travel, and self-help, making it a must-read for those seeking motivation and a fresh perspective on life. 
  For fans of Sophie L Morgan (Driving Forwards), Nims Purja (Beyond Possible), Rachel Murphy (Loose Head), Levison Wood (The Art of Exploration), and Jerry Grayson (Film Pilot).

  Ancient Egyptian Law and...

  Ancient Egyptian law was deeply rooted in the concept of Ma’at, the divine order that governed the universe and ensured balance, truth, and justice. This principle was not just a philosophical ideal but a practical guide for governance and social conduct. The legal system in Egypt was designed to maintain harmony within society, regulate disputes, and uphold the authority of the ruling elite. Unlike modern legal frameworks based on written statutes, Egyptian law was a combination of tradition, royal decrees, and religious doctrines. It was adaptable, relying on the wisdom of judges and officials rather than rigid legal codes. 
  The origins of legal traditions in ancient Egypt can be traced back to the early dynastic period when the first centralized state emerged. As society became more complex, a structured system of governance was necessary to manage resources, trade, and interpersonal conflicts. The earliest evidence of legal practice comes from administrative records, tomb inscriptions, and temple documents, which indicate that law was an integral part of daily life. While no single codified legal text has survived, references to decrees issued by pharaohs suggest that laws were issued and enforced at the highest levels of authority. 
  At the heart of Egyptian governance was the role of Ma’at, which extended beyond ethical conduct to legal proceedings. Ma’at represented a cosmic balance that rulers were duty-bound to uphold. The pharaoh, as the earthly representative of the gods, was seen as the ultimate source of justice. His decrees and judgments set legal precedents, shaping the administration of law across the kingdom. This divine connection made Egyptian law unique, as it blended religious principles with practical governance, ensuring that justice was not only a human responsibility but also a sacred duty.

  In Walking the Tideline, Caroline Kurtz solo hikes the rugged, beautiful Oregon Coast—an expedition of isolation, adventure, joy, and grief inside the emotional wilderness of finding one's identity after the death of a loved one. 
    
  In her third memoir, Portland-based author Caroline Kurtz travels the coast of Oregon on foot in her late sixties, tracing the boundary of sand and salt water, rock and forests, carrying her shelter and food as she navigates the edges of solace and resolution after the death of her husband. During her journey, Kurtz grieves as she reflects on her long, and at times rocky, marriage to Mark, whom she had known and loved since she was a teenager in boarding school in Ethiopia. As she navigates the adventures encountered along the trail—leaky tents, hitching rides, chance encounters, and beautiful landscapes—she intertwines the historical events of coastal Oregon with her spiritual experience, giving space for the shattering of an old identity and the planting of a new self, nourished and enlightened by the depths of a profoundly complex and considered life. 
    
  Kurtz spent her early years in Oregon before her parents moved her and her siblings to remote Ethiopia, where she spent her childhood and teen years, before returning to America for college, where she reunited with and married Mark. The two lived variously in Portland, Ethiopia, and Kenya, and retired to Portland, where Caroline now lives.

  Adventure awaits in this new visual odyssey from Accidentally Wes Anderson, taking readers on stunning trips to every continent and sharing oddly moving human tales along the way. For lovers of travel, design, and exploration, AWA presents a brand-new collection of real-world places that seem plucked from the films of Wes Anderson, and the stories that bring each location to life. You’ll venture to Antarctica through the treacherous Drake Passage, make a stop in lesser-known Jincumbilly, Australia (where platypuses outnumber people), discover the bridge in Wisconsin that went to nowhere, and drop into the most peculiar umbrella shop in London. But adventure means nothing without someone to tell the tale.    You’ll meet the father of American skydiving, who created the officially-sanctioned center of Earth—a California town with a population of two. You’ll visit the “post office at the end of the world”—and meet its mustachioed letter carrier, who runs an anarchist island nation in his free time. And you’ll travel to a town in the Arctic Circle where cats are prohibited, humans may not be buried, and doomsday vaults hold all we need to survive an apocalypse—including the secret recipe for the Oreo cookie.    Authorized by the legendary filmmaker himself, Accidentally Wes Anderson Adventures reminds us that the world is ours to explore.
