Drop the Fig Leaf

Dropping the Barriers to Freedom for Men and Women

By: Everest Bryce

We were not designed to live in this world of deception, lust, judgment, and greed. We were made for freedom, adventure, the infinite, to live freely, openly, honestly and uninhibited. Given the reality of life on earth, leaving ourselves too vulnerable, too exposed to all the selfishness and greed is simply not a viable survival option. All of us eventually have to put up our guard and run for cover. We close ourselves in, put up walls and when that happens, we cover up much of our intended greatness. These “coverings” we feel forced to place over our hearts, minds, spirits and bodies are the Fig Leaves of our lives. Drop the Fig Leaf takes a very straightforward look at these fig leaves, what lies behind them, how did they get there and most importantly, how to remove them. We will look at what’s at stake, what’s on the other side of the fig-leaves, what was intended for us all along, and how we can fight back and ultimately win the greatest battle of our lives. Get ready for an exhilarating, eye opening and life changing journey - The battle for our original and natural freedom.

Summary of Jeff Benedict & Armen Keteyian's The System

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In the fall of 1981, BYU was ranked #1 in the country in football. The roar of the crowd echoed across campus every time BYU scored a touchdown. Leach was a fan of BYU’s head coach, LaVell Edwards, and his innovative offensive system. #2 Mike Leach was a big fan of BYU football, and when he and Sharon married in 1982, they moved to Southern California so he could attend the U. S. Sports Academy. He never took the bar exam, and instead developed his coaching skills by working at several colleges and universities. #3 Leach was hired by Kentucky in 1997, and his offense was very successful. He then went on to become the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma in 1999, and was soon offered the head coaching position at Texas Tech. #4 When Mike Leach began recruiting Michael Crabtree in 2004, he had the most explosive offense in the country. Leach’s Air Raid offense put up 70 points against TCU in one game, and 70 points against Nebraska in another.

Summary of Philip Caputo's A Rumor of War

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was more prepared for death than I was for life when I returned from the war in 1967. I had learned how to face death and cause it, with everything on the evolutionary scale of weapons from the knife to the 3. 5-inch rocket launcher. #2 I grew up in Westchester, Illinois, one of the towns that rose from the prairies around Chicago as a result of postwar affluence, VA mortgage loans, and the migratory urge and housing shortage that sent millions of people out of the cities. #3 I wanted to join the Marines to prove something: my courage, my toughness, and my manhood. I had spent my freshman year at Purdue, freed from the confinements of suburban home and family, but a slump in the economy prevented me from finding a job. I had to transfer to Loyola, a commuter college in Chicago. #4 I was elated when I enlisted and swore to defend the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. I had done something important on my own, and I was excited by the idea that I would be sailing off to dangerous and exotic places after college instead of working in an office.

Summary of Bobbie Brown & Caroline Ryder's Dirty Rocker Boys

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had two coping strategies after my split with Tommy Lee. I got high, and I got even. I looked in the mirror. Twenty-six years old. My peroxide mane was messy; my roots were showing. I was Courtney Love meets Malibu Barbie, with the gaunt yet chic figure of a runway model. #2 I was seven years older than Leo, and I felt like his grandma. I’d never been someone’s G. I. L. F. before. I was ready to party. #3 I had sex with Leo, and while it was nice, I couldn’t help but think of Tommy Lee while doing it. I hadn’t thought about whether or not I had any diseases, and when I sucked Leo’s penis, I couldn’t get the condom to taste good. #4 I had a very short affair with an actor named Stephen Dorff, who was very into me, but I was not into him at all. I made fun of him, and he never spoke to me again.

Summary of Adam Kay's This is Going to Hurt

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The decision to work in medicine is a version of the email you get in early October asking you to choose your menu options for the work Christmas party. You must be psychologically fit for the job, able to make decisions under a terrifying amount of pressure, and deal with death on a daily basis. #2 I was a junior doctor in London in 1998. I had spent a quarter of my life at medical school, and it hadn’t remotely prepared me for the Jekyll and Hyde existence of a house officer. During the day, I was a glorified PA. #3 The night shifts made Dante look like Disney. They were a nightmare that made me regret ever thinking my education was being underutilized. I was a doctor now, and I loved it. #4 I have a new stethoscope, a new shirt, and a new email address: atom. kay@nhs. net. It’s good to know that no matter what happens today, I could still accuse myself of being the most incompetent person in the hospital.

Summary of Ellen Notbohm's Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Perspective is everything when it comes to autism. When people who don’t have autism frame its challenges only through the lens of their own experiences, they unwittingly close the door to alternative thinking that could help those with autism or Asperger’s syndrome overcome their obstacles. #2 Your child’s autism does not mean that they will not be able to live full, joyous, and meaningful lives. You may be scared, but you must believe that your child’s quality of life is at stake if you don’t do everything within your power to help them. #3 Autism is complex, but its primary elements are sensory processing challenges, communication delays, elusive social thinking and interaction skills, and whole child/self-esteem issues. #4 The four elements of social, cognitive, and physical learning are common to many children with autism, but every child with autism is different, and each parent, teacher, and caregiver will be at a different point on the spectrum.

Summary of Pedro G. Ferreira's The Perfect Theory

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1907, Einstein was working as a patent expert in Switzerland when he wrote a series of papers that were already transforming physics. He had pointed out that light behaves like bundles of energy, like particles of matter. He had also shown that the chaotic paths of pollen and dust could arise from the turmoil of water molecules. #2 Einstein’s job in the patent office was a blessing. After years of financial instability, he was finally able to marry Mileva and begin to raise a family. The monotony of the patent office seemed to be an ideal setting for Einstein to think things through. #3 Einstein’s principle of relativity states that the laws of physics should look the same in any inertial frame of reference. The basic idea behind the principle was not new, and had been around for centuries. #4 Before Albert Einstein came along, Isaac Newton was like a god in the world of physics. Newton’s work was held up as the most stunning success of modern thought. In the late seventeenth century, he had unified the force of gravity acting on the very small and the very large alike in one simple equation.

Summary of Harold Schechter's Ripped from the Headlines!

By: Everest Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The book was made into a movie in 1958, and it was groundbreaking for its frankness on sexual matters at the time. It was seen as a testament to the unwritten law, which stated that a husband who found another man in bed with his wife was justified in killing him. But the law was a myth. #2 Anatomy of a Murder is a film noir, and it is largely because of its atmospheric, black-and-white cinematography. Laura, the vixen-like beauty in the habit of dolling herself up, is an archetypal femme fatale. #3 The book is a thinly disguised version of an actual, highly sensational case in Michigan. In July 1960, exactly one year after the movie’s release, both Voelker’s publisher and Preminger’s studio were hit with a $9 million libel suit filed by a Michigan nurse, Mrs. Hazel A. Wheeler, the widow of a man named Maurice Mike Chenoweth. #4 In 1952, a newly married couple, the Petersons, visited the Lumberjack Tavern in Big Bay. Coleman, a first lieutenant in the US Army, was napping in their trailer when his wife, Charlotte, was raped by the bar's owner, Mike Chenoweth.

Summary of Michael Capuzzo's The Murder Room

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Vidocq Society was filled with eccentric, moody geniuses who had thrown in their lot with Fleisher. Walter was the coolest eye on murder in the world, and he spoke with a clipped propriety that had earned him the nickname the Englishman. #2 The team of detectives was made up of Walter Bender, the artist, and William Fleisher, the federal agent. They were blood brothers and partners on major cases. They had met that morning in Bender’s hall of bones, where a legendary and especially terrifying mob hit man had been the force that brought them together. #3 The gathering in the Coffee Room and Subscription Room of the tavern was full of forensic specialists from around the globe. They had gathered to reunite with their peers and rivals, and to discuss something special was happening. #4 The chamber on the second floor of the City Tavern was the historic Long Room, where General George Washington had toasted his election to the presidency in 1789. It was arranged to re-create the atmosphere of a second-floor chamber in Paris in 1833.

Summary of Ansel Adams & Mary Street Alinder's Ansel Adams

By: Everest Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I never intentionally made a creative photograph that related directly to an environmental issue, though I am greatly pleased when a picture I have made becomes useful to an important cause. I cannot command the creative impulse on demand. I go out into the world and hope I will come across something that interests me. #2 I can still remember the light and the scene that was present when I was a child. I constantly return to the elements of nature that surrounded me in my childhood, both the vision and the mood. #3 I was born in San Francisco in 1902. My father was building a house on the dunes out beyond the Golden Gate, which was thirty years before the famous bridge was built to connect San Francisco to Marin County. I could see ships of every description enter and leave the embrace of the Golden Gate. #4 My father took a daily carriage from the end of the cable car line at Presidio Avenue to our home. On April 17, 1906, my father was away on business in Washington, D. C. Our Chinese cook, Kong, slept in the basement. That evening, the boom of the surf pounding on Baker Beach woke me up.

Summary of Brad Aronson's Humankind

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The diagnosis was leukemia, and the treatment was two and a half years of inpatient chemotherapy followed by nine months of outpatient chemo. My wife would probably feel awful during and after the treatment, but I was determined not to blow it. #2 Mia’s friend Meg came by almost every week, bringing lunch and crafts for the two of them. Mia was craving processed cheese products as a side effect of her chemo, and her parents came to help her out with that. #3 The response to our family’s situation was overwhelming. We received so much support that I was hesitant to mention any of it here, because I would have to leave out far more than I could include. #4 The people in our lives took an no-stone-unturned approach to our situation, anticipating every possible need of body and soul. We were able to get through the ordeal because of it.

Summary of Sean Carroll's Something Deeply Hidden

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Quantum mechanics is the heart and soul of modern physics, and it is used in everything from astrophysics to particle physics. It is the most comprehensive view of reality we have, and it is not magic. #2 The world is fundamentally intelligible, and we have something of a mental block when it comes to quantum mechanics. We need to overcome this, and teach students that quantum mechanics is just a list of rules that we use to make predictions. #3 The first is that quantum mechanics should be understandable, even if we’re not there yet. It is unique among physical theories in drawing an apparent distinction between what we see and what really is. But this challenge isn’t insuperable, and if we free our minds from certain old-fashioned and intuitive ways of thinking, we find that quantum mechanics isn’t hopelessly mystical or inexplicable. #4 The third message is that all this matters, and not just for the integrity of science. The success of the existing adequate but not perfectly coherent framework of quantum mechanics shouldn’t blind us to the fact that there are circumstances under which such an approach simply isn’t up to the task.

Summary of John Gribbin's Six Impossible Things

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The standard way of looking at the quantum world is based on the idea of waves, and it largely ignores the caveat as if. The matrices approach is more honest, since it does not pretend to explain what is happening between state A and state B, but it provides less solace than the Schrödinger equation. #2 The Copenhagen Interpretation states that we do not know anything except for the outcomes of experiments. These outcomes depend on what the experiments are designed to measure. These questions are colored by our everyday experiences of the world, on a scale much larger than atoms and other quantum entities. #3 The Copenhagen Interpretation, which is the basis of the modern understanding of quantum mechanics, says that the wave function of a quantum entity spreads out to fill up an area evenly, and then collapses when the area is examined. This is not the same as saying that the electron always was in one half of the box or the other, as the CI insists that the collapse only happens when the contents of the box in the lab are examined. #4 The CI states that an electron is emitted from a source on one side of the experiment as a particle. It immediately dissolves into a probability wave which spreads through the experiment and heads towards the detector screen on the other side. This wave passes through however many holes are open, interfering with itself or not as appropriate, and arrives at the detector as a pattern of probabilities.

Summary of Paul Halpern's The Quantum Labyrinth

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Nazis were on the march and had to be stopped. If they continued their conquest of Europe, the United States would be obliged to join the war effort. Scientific breakthroughs could be needed to stop them. #2 Wheeler was one of the world’s foremost experts in nuclear fission, and he would likely be tapped for his knowledge in the case of American entry into the war. He had worked with Bohr since 1934. #3 Wheeler was appointed assistant professor at Princeton in 1938. He was working with Bohr to determine the precise mechanisms for fission when World War II began in Europe in September 1939. Their findings would be indispensable for the Manhattan Project, the American wartime program to develop a nuclear bomb. #4 Wheeler, at age 28, had already spent almost seven decades thinking about perplexing questions such as Why is there existence. He took the task of balancing his responsibilities seriously.

Summary of Leslie Jordan's How Y'all Doing?

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was on TV and in movies, but it seems that most of my followers discovered me through Instagram. #2 Max is the gayest straight man I know. He does not like reading, so I have to read for him. He is married to Tess Sanchez, who used to be the head of casting for Fox TV. He brought my name up when he was casting a new series. #3 I am a comedian, and I have a one-man show. But I got my start on The View, as I was a favorite of many of the hosts, particularly Whoopi Goldberg, who was a huge fan of my internet series. #4 You are probably reading this book because you want to be a comedian, and you think you’re funny. Because your funny, you can get away with anything. Be nice to everyone. When I was a fresh-faced kid, I saw two comics at an open mic night at the Laugh Factory. One was a really lovely lady named Phyllis Diller. She was so kind to me, and I will never forget it. The other comic was a loudmouthed nightmare of a human being named Don Rickles. He was a bully, and he made fun of my parents, calling them stupid names. I was in the front row, and he pointed at me and said That one’s gonna be a comedian, too! I was devastated. I have always been sensitive about this stuff, and for years after that, no one would ask me to do anything because I would burst into tears at the drop of a hat. I haven’t done stand-up in years because no one has asked me to do anything stand-up-y in ages. For all these reasons, I am thrilled that you found your way to this book.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The parents of the children at Sandy Hook Elementary were also affected by the shooting. The parents of six-year-old Charlotte Bacon wanted to get her a pink dress for the holidays, but her mother argued against it. The father and son went shopping, and Jesse bought ornaments for his first-grade teacher and his mother. #2 The family of seven-year-old Daniel Barden moved to Newtown in 2007, when Daniel was two years old. They were excited about the schools there, and especially about the reputation of the ones in Sandy Hook. #3 Christmas was still eleven days away for many of the children at Sandy Hook Elementary. Some were focused on Christmas, while others were focused on their future ambitions. #4 The bus driver pulled away, and there was no suppressing the joy of Olivia Engel, who was active in her church’s CCD musical program, as the hours counted down to one of the final weekends before Christmas.

She knelt and planted, and pressed dirt around her beloved apples. She longed for the stroke of her husband's smooth finger at her temple, the brush of his unbearded cheek against hers. #2 In the book, Mazy had a farm, and she loved her life. One day, she was tending her crops when she heard a noise behind her. She turned around and saw Jeremy with a cow that had escaped from the corral.

But when my fiancée suddenly left me for another man, I was left with no future. #2 I had gotten into the habit of giving myself pep talks after my breakup, but this was a full-volume aha moment.

I was going to live on the road for a year, camping and crashing with friends along the way. #4 The Great Plains is a landscape as vast as the prairie, but much more difficult to process. Each formation demands its own form of attention, and the predominant hue is a washed-out gray.

Summary of Jane Nelsen & Lynn Lott's Positive Discipline for Teenagers, Revised 3rd Edition

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The dream teen is what most parents think their teens should be like. The normal teen is what most parents see in their own children, and they often exaggerate those traits. #2 The most dramatic changes with your kids are accompanied by a feeling response from you. Think back to when your kids were potty trained, and how excited you were when they said NO to everything you asked. #3 Stress is the space between your thoughts of how life should be and how life is. You can reduce your stress by becoming aware of the thoughts and looking for ways to change how life is or what you think it should be. #4 The process of separating from your family and becoming an adult is called individuation. It can start as early as ten or eleven and as late as eighteen or nineteen. Some people never individuate, or individuate only after they become adults.

Summary of Thomas King's The Inconvenient Indian

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had to change the title of my book to The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious History of Native People in North America. While not subscribing to Pound’s political beliefs, I do agree with him that We do not know the past in chronological sequence. #2 The Inconvenient Indian is a history of Indian people in North America, but it is written from a narrative perspective. I have not tried to keep biases under control, and I have not kept personal anecdotes in check. #3 The term Indian is neutral in this book, and refers to a general group of people as diverse and indefinable as Indians. The term First Nations is the current term of choice in Canada, while Native Americans is the fashionable preference in the United States. #4 The author spent time on both Canada and the United States, discussing the past and present relations between the two countries. While the line that divides the two countries is a political reality, for most Aboriginal people, it doesn’t exist.

Summary of Anatoli Boukreev & G. Weston DeWalt's The Climb

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1996, the Sherpa ethnic group in Nepal were concerned about a star that appeared in the night sky over the Himalaya. It was the beginning of the spring season on Mount Everest, and Sherpa climbers had died in the past due to the mountain’s harsh environment. #2 As Todd waited for the snows to melt in the north, Kami Noru Sherpa and the Sherpas from Pangboche trekked to the Everest Base Camp, where they would join the expeditions that had hired them. They would help establish camps, carry loads up the mountain, and cook for and serve the climbers. #3 In the early 1980s, the number of climbers and expedition support personnel who would gather in the Everest Base Camp during the spring season could have fit into one Paris metro car. In 1996, more than four hundred people would eventually come up the trail and pitch their tents. #4 In May 1995, Rob Hall, the head of the Adventure Consultants Guided Expedition, turned all of his clients back from their bid to the summit as deep snows at higher elevations had slowed their progress. In 1996, Hall was back, ready to go again, determined to get back into the win column.

Summary of Colin O'Brady's The 12-Hour Walk

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was invited to speak to several hundred Wall Street executives about mindset, risk, and overcoming obstacles. I was running a few minutes late as I hastily stepped into the building's lavish lobby. The doorman told me I wasn't supposed to be going to the penthouse. #2 I was invited to a gathering of elite investors who knew each other for the purpose of screwing each other out of deals. As I took my seat at the table, I thought about how I didn’t really fit in. I was raised by strong-minded women, and now I was married to another strong woman who helped organize every detail of our projects. #3 I spoke about my experiences at the summit of Mount Everest, explaining that the day I reached the top, three people died doing what I was doing. It was hard to talk about, but I felt most alive in those moments. #4 I asked the guests at the dinner what their childhood dreams were, and most were silent. The old man who had spoken to me after dinner said that he had always wanted to go to a summer camp in upstate New York, but time had passed him by.

Summary of Jean Muenchrath's If I Live Until Morning

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was in the Southern Inyo Hospital in Lone Pine, California, after surviving five days in the mountains. I had surgery to remove the blood clots, necrotic tissue, and bone fragments in my left buttock. It took several weeks to drain the fluids from my wound. #2 I was with a handful of students on a warm autumn day in 1979 when I met Ken, who was on a trip to Jacumba in the desert with the San Diego State University’s Recreation Club. He told me about his dream to ski the entire John Muir Trail during the winter. #3 Bart was an experienced outdoorsman who wanted to ski from the southern end of the Sierras to Yosemite Valley. In 1928, he hiked into the Sierras and strategically placed his supplies. He then invited a famous mountaineer to accompany him. Clyde declined, so Bart went alone. #4 I was attracted to Ken because he was a gifted athlete. I was also attracted to his sense of humor, his bravery, and his kindness. We were very compatible, and we often went on adventures together.

Summary of Peter Zuckerman & Amanda Padoan's Buried in the Sky

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Chhiring’s first name, Cheerful, was a reflection of his determination. He was always cheerful, and his clients praised his attitude. He was always moving fast, and he couldn’t control the pace. Speed was hardwired into his DNA. #2 The Sherpa people of Rolwaling Valley are a small ethnicity that inhabit Beding and the other villages of the Rolwaling Valley. They rarely describe themselves this way, preferring to recognize what they have: faith and a self-reliant community. #3 The legend of Guru Rinpoche and the demons of Rolwaling is a scare tactic used to get visitors to visit the valley more often. The younger generation is less concerned with the apocalypse. #4 Rolwaling was a beyul, a frontier community that granted amnesty to refugees. It was thought to be guarded by a powerful mountain goddess. The Sherpa people relied on local materials and their own labor to feed and clothe themselves.

Summary of Brian Murphy's 81 Days Below Zero

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On the first day of winter, December 21, there are only about four hours of milky daylight in Fairbanks, about 110 miles below the Arctic Circle. #2 Crane was a player of considerable finesse, knowing when to push his luck and when to pull back. He was popular on base since arriving there in October 1940 on one of the transport flights that hopscotched north from Montana. #3 Crane felt he was still a novice in the preparations and precautions to handle winter in interior Alaska. He would forget to pull up his parka hood, and not realize his mistake until his ears were iced and aching. #4 Crane was assigned to the Alaska territory, and he seemed to handle the cold better than many other soldiers. He was also built well for these extremes, with the muscles of a natural athlete.

Summary of Jon Krakauer's Classic Krakauer

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On December 23, 1994, a trio of renowned big-wave surfers from the Hawaiian Islands, Brock Little, Ken Bradshaw, and Mark Foo, arrived at Pillar Point to join the local crew in the surf. The names and faces of the three Hawaiians were familiar to most of the five million surfers on the planet. #2 The waves at Mavericks are infamous for being huge, and some even claim they are bigger than the famous waves at Hawaii’s Waimea Bay. However, the waves failed to live up to the hype in 1990. #3 Big-wave surfing has become a serious sport, with only a few hundred people in the world being able to drop into the jaws of a 40-foot wave and emerge on their feet. The difference between riding a head-high wave and a hollow, dredging 40-footer is the difference between driving 35 mph and 200 mph. #4 The big-wave brotherhood has always held audacity in high esteem, but a fine distinction is made between boldness and idiocy. Idiocy is termed kook behavior and is one of the worst epithets in the surfers’ lexicon.

Summary of Heinrich Harrer's The White Spider

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There were many who thought it was my duty to make immediate amends by post-dating Corti’s climb, rehabilitating him. But I felt my duty was to be a true friend to all the world’s climbers, particularly the younger generation. #2 The confusion in Corti’s report was not due to the intense nervous strain and nights of delirium on the Face, but rather because his mental and spiritual powers failed to match so great a demand on them. #3 The bivouac spot above the Spider has been named after Corti, not after the two men who in all probability pitched and secured the little tent to ensure his safety. The fact remains that this spot has been named after Corti, not after the two men who in all probability pitched and secured the little tent to ensure his safety. #4 The foursome’s decision to join the Italians on the rope was unexplained. They were only on the lower third of the Face, and there was no earthly reason for it. They were also only on the Eiger to help a friend, which is why they gave him their only chance of survival.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was eleven years old when I flew to Big Bear with my father to train for the ski season. I had won the Southern California Slalom Championship the day before, and my dad had chartered a plane to avoid another round-trip in the car. #2 The author’s father was a pilot, and he was flying his son to the top of Ontario Peak, 8,693 feet high, to see the view. The plane broke apart, flinging chunks of debris across the rugged north face, and hurling their bodies into an icy chute.

Summary of Laurence Gonzales's Deep Survival

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The place where the landing gear of the plane is meant to touch down is only a few feet away from me. I can see the white foul line shining against the black nonskid deck. I am standing next to the arrival end of a very short runway built onto the deck of the boat. #2 The first lesson is to remain calm in a survival situation. Emotions are called hot cognitions and they go hand in hand with panic. Be cool, and focus on the task at hand. #3 The boundary between life and death is a place of extreme calmness and alertness. Not everyone can stay calm and alert in such a place, and some fail, while others die. #4 The first rule is to face reality. Good survivors aren’t immune to fear, and they know what’s happening. They can’t ignore it, so they must prepare for it. They must laugh at threats, playing and laughing go together.

Summary of Joe Simpson's Touching the Void

By: Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was in the middle of the Cordillera Huayhuash, in the Peruvian Andes, with Simon. We were surrounded by spectacular ice mountains and the only indication of this from within our tent was the regular roaring of avalanches falling off Cerro Sarapo. #2 I was not the full ticket, but I was over the worst. It was freezing last night. I had met Richard, a travel companion, in Lima, halfway through his six-month exploration of South America. His wire-rimmed glasses, neat practical clothing, and bird-like mannerisms hid a dry humor and a wild repertoire of beachcombing reminiscences. #3 I was worried about the weather, but Simon was confident that it would not be as bad as it seemed. He suggested that we should just climb through a snowfall, and if we did that we would risk mistaking a serious storm for the normal pattern. #4 I had worried unduly about whether there would be a significant difference between us. I had imagined the frustrations and tensions that would arise from such a situation. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was not in any hurry. I knew we could both reach the summit easily if a fine viewing point presented itself.
