Himalaya by Philip Parker
This anniversary book draws together the narratives of the discovery and exploration of each of the 14 'Eight-Thousanders', those peaks over 8,000m all within this great range, with commentary on the ways and motivations that see them being tackled in the present and into the future.
Himalaya is edited by writer and historian Philip Parker. Formerly publisher of the Times books list, Philip was responsible for The Times History of the World and numerous titles on ancient civilizations. He is also the author of The Empire Stops Here (2009), a book acclaimed as 'engaging' (FT), 'awe-inspiring' (The Scotsman) and 'a quite breathtaking and eccentric edifice of scholarship... extraordinary' (The Guardian).
