  Winner of the Kekoo Naoroji Award
  Doug Scott was a legend among mountaineers. His expeditions, undertaken over a period of five decades, are unparalleled achievements. This book describes the extraordinary drama of them all, from the Himalaya to New Zealand, Patagonia, Yosemite and Alaska. It includes his famous 'epic' on The Ogre, one of the hardest peaks in the world to climb, his ascent of Kangchenjunga without supplementary oxygen and his ascent, with Dougal Haston, of Everest in 1975.
  Catherine Moorehead also uncovers the elusive man behind the obsessive mountaineer. From his rumbustious youth in Nottingham through two tempestuous marriages to a secure third marriage, she shows how Scott matured in thought and action as his formidable global reputation increased. In doing so she reveals him to be a clash of opposites, an infuriating monomaniac who took extraordinary risks yet who developed a deep interest in Buddhism and inspired widespread affection.
  Scott spent almost as long as his climbing career in founding and developing Community Action Nepal, providing schools and health posts in remote parts of Nepal, where he is still much revered. Doug Scott died in 2020.

  Risky Play

  70 years ago, children enjoyed a lot more freedom than they do today. The time allowed to play often stretched for days at a time. In many cases, this allowed children to become highly creative while finding exciting opportunities to play unsupervised.
  
  No one seemed concerned about a child climbing the highest tree or going on a picnic or fishing, unaccompanied by adults. Even an overnight camping trip for a group of under 12s was usually acceptable as long as it wasn't raining.
  
  In turn, the ability to make important decisions and take risks, given the freedom experienced, built resilience in children that we don't see anymore.
  
  Today's children are often fearful and turn to their parents, who supervise everything they do. Helicopter parents hover over their children's every move to ensure that they come to no harm. In doing so, the parent inadvertently causes more harm, making the child/children dependent on the parent for even the simplest decision.

  2bits - Fragmented Memories

  2Bits is a raw and deeply personal memoir that explores the fragmented journey of self-discovery, addiction, and resilience. Through a series of interconnected moments, the book delves into the author's struggles with alcohol—not as the central issue, but as a symptom of deeper disconnection, anxiety, and self-doubt. Each chapter presents a "bit" of wisdom gained through hardship, reflecting on the internal battles that fueled destructive patterns and the slow, unsteady process of rebuilding. 
  This is not a glorification of addiction or a traditional recovery narrative—it is a deeply introspective look at the complexities of human struggle. The author challenges conventional notions of healing, emphasizing that recovery is not about following a single path but about reclaiming personal strength, authenticity, and purpose. 
  For those who have ever questioned their place in the world, wrestled with self-doubt, or sought solace in unhealthy escapes, 2Bits offers an unfiltered glimpse into the process of facing one’s demons and forging a path toward self-acceptance. Bit by bit, it reveals that even the smallest fragments of insight can shape a meaningful journey forward.

  I had a nightmare last night. I’d been crying out for help, but no one heard my silent screams. Growing up in the home of an absent father and an emotionally abusive mother, Tom Stewart was an easy mark for a predator.

Through a health crisis, broken relationships, and the tragic loss of a loved one, Tom clings to his unwavering faith. When a landmark lawsuit sets him on the long road to forgiveness and healing, Tom begins to see God’s purpose for his pain.
