Sinossi

On 29 May 1953 Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary conquered Everest.Before it had claimed the lives of dozens of climbers, including George Leigh Mallory in 1924. Norgay, the descendant of generations of yak herders, was destined to become a Lama, but his love for the mountains was that much stronger and he ran away from his Buddhist monastery. He had but one dream despite the deaths of many mountaineers: to conquer Everest. For thirty years expeditions had been struggling to scale its fiendishly difficult icy slopes until he and Hillary finally succeeded. His memoir is a unique and eloquent tribute to Zen and the art of mountain climbing.

  • Urban Poverty and Inequality - Challenges of the Modern City (3 in 1) - cover

    Urban Poverty and Inequality -...

    In the shadows of gleaming skyscrapers and vibrant commercial districts lies another city entirely—one marked by systemic deprivation, limited opportunity, and persistent struggle. Urban poverty represents one of the most complex and pressing challenges of our increasingly urbanized world, where the concentration of wealth and opportunity paradoxically exists alongside pockets of profound disadvantage. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted nature of Urban Poverty and Inequality, examining the lived experiences of The Urban Poor, and analyzing The Urban-Rural Divide that shapes resource distribution and development patterns across landscapes of inequity. 
    The narrative of urban deprivation is fundamentally a story of systemic contradictions, where proximity to abundance often accentuates rather than alleviates scarcity. By examining the structural forces, policy decisions, historical legacies, and global economic patterns that create and perpetuate urban inequality, this book illuminates the complex interplay between spatial location, economic opportunity, and social mobility in contemporary cities. Readers will journey through the intricate landscapes where urban poverty manifests—from informal settlements and public housing developments to gentrifying neighborhoods and peripheral urban zones—while exploring the resilience strategies, community responses, and policy interventions that address these challenges. Through evidence-based analysis, theoretical frameworks, and human-centered perspectives, we aim to deepen understanding of urban inequality not as an inevitable by-product of urbanization, but as a complex social phenomenon shaped by specific historical contexts, policy choices, and economic systems that can be transformed through intentional, equitable approaches to urban development.
