Sinossi

In the realm of human endeavor, few challenges are as daunting as Mount Everest, the highest peak on Earth. Since its first ascent in 1953, Everest has claimed the lives of over 300 climbers, leaving behind a legacy of mystery and intrigue.

One of the most enduring mysteries is the fate of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, two British climbers who disappeared on Everest in 1924. Did they reach the summit before perishing on their descent? Or did they fall short of their goal, lost forever in the mountain's icy embrace?

For decades, the world has been captivated by the story of Mallory and Irvine. Their final resting place remained a mystery until 1999, when Mallory's frozen body was discovered high on the mountain. The discovery of his camera, however, has only added to the enigma. Could the photographs inside provide clues to their ultimate fate?

In this gripping book, we delve into the captivating story of Mallory and Irvine's ill-fated expedition. We examine the evidence, explore the theories, and attempt to unravel the mystery of their disappearance. We also explore the broader history of Everest expeditions, from the early attempts to the modern era of commercial climbing.

Through the lens of Mallory and Irvine's journey, we gain a deeper understanding of the human spirit's relentless pursuit of adventure, even in the face of overwhelming odds. Their story is a testament to the indomitable will of those who dare to dream of reaching new heights, even at the risk of everything.

Everest stands as a symbol of human ambition and resilience. It is a mountain that has claimed the lives of many, but it has also inspired countless others to push their limits and achieve extraordinary feats. Mallory and Irvine's story is a reminder that the pursuit of great dreams is often fraught with danger, but it is a journey that can also lead to greatness.

    Ever wonder why poverty exists and how we could get rid of it? Here's your answer. 
    Darryl Finkton, Jr. is a hedge fund manager turned community organizer. Raised in poverty, Darryl went on to graduate from Harvard College and the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar. In “End Poverty. Make Trillions.” Darryl shares how he rose from rags to riches, and how we can ensure everyone has an opportunity to generate wealth. 
    A Surprisingly Simple Plan for Ending Poverty–and Making Trillions of Dollars for Ourselves While We Do It 
    Poverty costs the United States more than a trillion dollars a year for myriad complex reasons. Ending it would result in joy that is hard to quantify. Yet for all the complexities involved, the “how” of it all–the way to escape national suffering and decline and start off toward a future of organic, resilient national growth–is simple. 
    It’s SO SIMPLE. 
    To have lives of dignity and purpose and contribute meaningfully to our capitalist economy, America’s poor people do not need the rest of us to feed or shelter them. They don’t need us to derail our lives to take care of them or even think about them all that much. 
    They need MONEY.

    In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Jean-Paul Sartre, the father of existentialism and author of Existentialism and Human Emotions, exploring human identity, atheism, morality, and meaning.

  • I Am Not a Tourist: Conversations on migration race belonging and identity in this fierce new memoir about what it means to be British Chinese - cover

    I Am Not a Tourist:...

    ‘An important new voice’ DAVID YIP, actor 
    ‘A vital resource’ PEYVAND SADEGHIAN, actor and writer 
    ‘Important and poignant…A brilliant read’ HELEN TSE MBE, author of Sweet Mandarin 
    What does it mean to exist at the intersection of cultures? 
    Though a citizen of the UK, Daisy J. Hung is regularly mistaken for a tourist, asked where she’s really from or greeted with Ni hao on the assumption she speaks Mandarin. These experiences serve as a reminder that, no matter how she moves through the world, she is often seen as an outsider. 
    In I Am Not a Tourist, Daisy explores what it means to be British Chinese today, and the social, historical and political factors that have got us here. Fighting narrow and dehumanising stereotypes, of Chinese people excelling at school, or being devoid of original thought or leadership, or having authoritarian parents, she encourages readers to interrogate their assumptions and interpretations of ‘Chinese’ identity. 
    In the wake of the upsurge of anti-Asian racism, triggered by the racialisation of the COVID-19 pandemic as the ‘China virus’, ‘China plague’ and ‘Kung flu’, I Am Not a Tourist exposes the ongoing racism and inequalities that British Chinese communities face, and forms an urgent call for change. 
    'If you’re looking to expand your understanding of the community, this book is an essential addition to your reading list’ LORD SONNY LEONG CBE 
    *Audiobook narrated by Katie Leung (Harry Potter) 
    In this riveting autobiography, Daisy J. Hung delves into the personal and cultural aspects of her life, challenging the stereotypes and prejudices that often plague the British Chinese community. Her memoirs, a blend of non-fiction and biography, offer a unique perspective on immigration and emigration, and the complexities of regional and ethnic identities.

    In "Critique of Interventionism," Ludwig von Mises delves into the economic consequences and philosophical underpinnings of government intervention in the market. Mises argues that interventionism, which involves state interference in economic affairs while maintaining private ownership, inevitably leads to unintended consequences, distortions, and economic inefficiencies. The book is a critical analysis of interventionist policies, examining their impact on individual freedom, economic coordination, and the overall functioning of a market economy.
