Everest: Summit of Achievement ReviewThe RGS was one of the co-sponsors of the many UNsuccessful expeditions to Everest, which finally culminated in the successful climb. This book has many stunning photographs as well as essays by "greats" of the mountaineering scene. Most wonderful is that fresh perspectives are covered that you won't find written about in most classic mountaineering books, such as the first two chapters, which deal with photographing expeditions and with establishing the height of Everest [worthy of a book in and of itself]. The chapter on the Sherpas with lots of previously unseen photos also changes one's picture of Everest. A VERY VERY IMPORTANT book, with images that present a FRESH and sorely needed modern perspective. Most ironic, you will see that the great feat of Everest, coinciding with celebrating the queen's coronation, was in fact pulled off by peasants/farm workers [Hillary, the beekeeper, and Tenzing, the climber from a farming family] from two countries, both far afield from Great Britain. It wasn't until decades later that the first two British-born climbers summited Everest. This and many other details will entertain you, along with the fantastic photos.Everest: Summit of Achievement Overview
