    Your heart is pounding fast and you are feeling dizzy.  It seems as though you have to sit down in order for you not to fall.  You are having trouble catching your breath. You are experiencing a numbing feeling in your hands and feet.   
    
    There is a tightening pressure in your chest area.  You think you may be on the verge of a heart attack.  You think something is really wrong with you; however, you are far from dying.
    
    Anxiety is a mental disorder in which a person fears just about anything and they think every outcome will turn out for the worst.  This fear is frightening because it is so intense and they always fear that someone is after them.  
    
    If you have any type of disorder that is associated with anxiety, then your mind will always be focused on being scared for no reason.  You will always feel that there is no solution to your unfounded fear and that there is no way out.  
    
    You feel paralyzed as though you can't do anything.  Basically, you are frozen with fear.  This disorder can attack at any time.  
    
    Anxiety disorder is more than just one action.  Anxiety disorder has different sub-disorders that can fit under this.  For instance, there are panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder and others that are related to the anxiety disorder family.  
    
    There are many people all over that suffer from anxiety attacks.  If you are not afflicted with them, you may know someone who is.  If it is you, you need to know how to help yourself.  If it's someone else, you need to know how to help them.  You will have to be understanding and help them to get the treatment and support that they need to combat this condition.

    In April 2012 Mark Horrell travelled to Tibet hoping to become, if not the first person to climb Mount Everest, at least the first Karl Pilkington lookalike to do so. 
    He joined a mountaineering expedition which included an Australian sexagenarian, two Brits whose idea of hydration meant a box of red wine, and a New Zealander who enjoyed reminding his teammates of the perils of altitude sickness and the number of ways they might die on summit day. 
    The media often write about Mount Everest deaths and how easy the world’s highest mountain has become to climb, but how accurately does this reflect reality? 
    The Chomolungma Diaries is a true story of ordinary people climbing Mount Everest with a commercial expedition, and preparing for the biggest day of their lives. 
    Imagine your life clipped into a narrow line of cord five miles above the earth, on the world’s most terrifying ridge walk. This book will bring you just a little bit closer to that experience.

    My goodness! How are you boys still alive? 
    Because survival is by co-ordination, good luck, respect and karma and ‘sometimes luck is with you, and sometimes not, but the important thing is to take the dare.’ David Brower 
    Where Kingsley Holgate explores Africa beneath an outrageous beard with a keg of rum by his side – 40 years his junior I decided to explore my Africa with naiveté, invincibility and the testosterone fueled charisma of boyhood. 
    Unprepared, untested, unperturbed – who said that an explorer needs to be tried and tested? 
    Taking six months from our boyhood lives to find adventure? That’s easy. Undertaking a Zambezi source-to-sea paddling expedition with no previous kayaking experience? That’s harder. And stupid. 
    Staying alive amongst crocodiles and hippos, rapids and whirlpools, sunstroke and dysentery – now that’s almost impossible ... or commendable if you can live through to the end of your own story. 
    Now throw in two marauding rhino and appendicitis and see if you would still predict survival and start packing for your own adventure. Did I worry that each day may be my last? Of course I did but in the end ‘the principal difference between an adventurer and a suicide is that the adventurer leaves himself a margin of escape (the narrower the margin the greater the adventure), a margin whose width and length may be determined by unknown factors but whose successful navigation is determined by the measure of the adventurers nerve and wits. It is always exhilarating to live by one’s nerves and toward the summit of one’s wits.’ Tom Robbins. Another Roadside Attraction

    “Brilliant . . . Ferguson’s guided tour of the often amusing, sometimes bizarre ways we remember Lincoln today . . . is heartening and even inspiring.” —Bill Kristol, Time   Abraham Lincoln was our greatest president and perhaps the most influential American who ever lived. But what is his place in our country today? In Land of Lincoln, Andrew Ferguson packs his bags and embarks on a journey to the heart of contemporary Lincoln Nation, where he encounters a world as funny as it is poignant, and a population as devoted as it is colorful.   In small-town Indiana, Ferguson drops in on the national conference of Lincoln presenters, 175 grown men who make their living (sort of) by impersonating their hero. He meets the premier collectors of Lincoln memorabilia, prized items of which include Lincoln’s chamber pot, locks of his hair, and pages from a boyhood schoolbook. He takes his wife and children on a trip across the long-defunct Lincoln Heritage Trail, a driving tour of landmarks from Lincoln’s life. This book is an entertaining, unexpected, and big-hearted celebration of Lincoln’s enduring influence on our country—and the people who help keep his spirit alive.   “A hilarious, offbeat tour of Lincoln shrines, statues, cabins and museums . . . Mr. Ferguson maps it expertly, with an understated Midwestern sense of humor that Lincoln, master of the funny story, would have been the first to appreciate.” —William Grimes, The New York Times
