Sinopse

Mountain Peaks Rise explores the intersection of adventure and economics in the Himalayan mountaineering industry, focusing on the Sherpa community's crucial role. It sheds light on how Sherpas, often seen merely as porters, are actually highly skilled professionals with deep cultural knowledge essential for successful expeditions. The book examines the economic structures that govern high-altitude climbs and argues that the current model often inadequately compensates Sherpas for their expertise, labor, and the significant risks they face.

The book progresses by first introducing the cultural and historical background of Sherpas. It then dissects the economics of mountaineering, analyzing expedition costs, profit distribution, and tourism's impact. Finally, it proposes solutions for a more equitable future, advocating for fair labor practices and sustainable tourism. It highlights the history of Sherpa involvement in mountaineering, from early porters to integral members of climbing teams. It shows that the early expeditions of the 20th century laid the groundwork for the present-day industry, revealing the origins of existing power dynamics.

Ultimately, Mountain Peaks Rise calls for collaborative action to create a more sustainable and equitable model that respects Sherpa traditions, protects their well-being, and ensures fair economic opportunities. It uniquely centers the voices and experiences of Sherpas, offering a nuanced portrayal of their lives and aspirations while providing insights applicable to ethical travel and responsible tourism.

Nuclear Revolution - Powering...

Jack Spencer

“Jack Spencer tells it the way it is and needs to be to make nuclear energy an affordable choice for America. Read this thoughtful and provocative book written by one of America’s great conservative thinkers.” — William Martin, Former Deputy Energy Secretary; Chair, Nuclear Energy Advisory Committee

Skyrocketing energy prices are placing downward pressure on economic growth throughout the world. There seems to be no relief in sight, with hundreds of millions without access to reliable energy and with global energy consumption expected to grow by 50 percent over the next 30 years. Some would impose energy rationing―or in other words, slow human progress. But with nearly 46 percent of the world’s population living on less than $5.50 per day, slowing human progress is unacceptable. The only solution is more energy and lots of it.

Jack Spencer, in his upcoming book, Nuclear Revolution: Powering the Next Generation, argues that nuclear energy offers real answers to power our homes and industries, clean our air and water, and maybe even take us to Mars. However, we have been getting nuclear power wrong for decades.

Skeptics say that nuclear energy is too expensive and threatens the world with the proliferation of nuclear weapons material and radioactive waste. Proponents say that nuclear power needs and deserves the support of the state and the taxpayer, cradle to grave. The time has come, Spencer argues, to think big nuclear energy and pull it out of the time capsule that pop culture, environmental activists, lobbyists, peaceniks, and policymakers are all too content to leave nuclear in.

Spencer writes that while the government-industry partnership that defined the early years of America’s commercial nuclear rise was essential to the nation’s security, reluctance to modernize that relationship has prevented the American nuclear industry from reaching its full potential. In its place, Spencer offers an alternative that shatters how we think about nuclear energy policy and realigns the responsibilities of government and industry with the incentives that will drive America to success.

Nuclear Revolution describes why government intervention in the nuclear industry is a problem, how to move from the status quo to something new, and why such reforms will kick off an era of nuclear entrepreneurship and innovation. Over 70 years ago, nuclear energy entered the scene with great promise. Now more than ever, the world needs that promise delivered, and America can lead the way.
