Book excerpt: En octobre 1978, Pierre Mazeaud conduit la première ascension française de l'Everest, avec Jean Afanassieff et Nicolas Jaeger. À 48 ans, il est alors le plus vieux " summiter " du Toit du monde. Pour célébrer le quarantième anniversaire de la première ascension française du Toit du monde, Guérin republie " Everest 78 ", récit d'un alpiniste et chef d'expédition peu banal : Pierre Mazeaud, qui venait alors de quitter ses fonctions de secrétaire d'Etat à la jeunesse et aux Sports. Cette nouvelle édition sera accompagnée d'une préface de l'ancien ministre, qui livre ses réflexions sur ce que la pratique de l'alpinisme lui a apporté dans sa carrière politique... et dans sa vie. En effet, l'ascension de l'Everest a marqué un tournant pour Pierre Mazeaud : c'est sa dernière grande réalisation d'alpiniste et, dans les années qui suivent, sa carrière politique le conduit toujours plus haut vers les sommets de l'Etat. Il sera bientôt député, vice-président de l'Assemblée nationale et président du Conseil constitutionnel. L'" Insoumis " (titre de sa biographie parue chez Guérin) est un inclassable, comme ses deux compagnons d'alors : Jean Afanassieff, adepte tout feu tout flamme de l'escalade solitaire ; et Nicolas Jaeger, médecin et guide, disparu deux ans plus tard dans une tentative solitaire au Lhotse. Everest 78 est le récit de l'une des dernières ascensions " à l'ancienne " d'un Everest pas encore banalisé. Mais l'arrivée à 8848 mètres est l'occasion du premier direct radio depuis le plus haut sommet de la planète.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the architectural spectacle of the medieval cathedral and the romantic sublime of the nineteenth-century panorama to the techno-fetishism of today's London Science Museum, humans have gained a deeper understanding of the natural world through highly illusionistic representations that engender new modes of seeing, listening, and thinking. What unites and defines many of these wondrous spaces is an immersive view-an invitation to step inside the virtual world of the image and become a part of its universe, if only for a short time. Since their inception, museums of science and natural history have mixed education and entertainment, often to incredible, eye-opening effect. Immersive spaces of visual display and modes of exhibition send "shivers" down our spines, engaging the distinct cognitive and embodied mapping skills we bring to spectacular architecture and illusionistic media. They also force us to reconsider traditional models of film spectatorship in the context of a mobile and interactive spectator. Through a series of detailed historical case studies, Alison Griffiths masterfully explores the uncanny and unforgettable visceral power of the medieval cathedral, the panorama, the planetarium, the IMAX theater, and the science museum. Examining these structures as exemplary spaces of immersion and interactivity, Griffiths reveals the sometimes surprising antecedents of modern media forms, suggesting the spectator's deep-seated desire to become immersed in a virtual world. Shivers Down Your Spine demonstrates how immersive and interactive museum display techniques such as large video displays, reconstructed environments, and touch-screen computer interactives have redefined the museum space, fueling the opposition between public and private, science and spectacle, civic and corporate interests, voice and text, and life and death. In her remarkable study of sensual spaces, Griffiths explains why, for centuries, we keep coming back for more.

Book excerpt: 'Everest by fair means - that is the human dimension, and that is what interests me ... In reaching for the oxygen cylinder, a climber degrades Everest ... a climber who doesn't rely on his own strength and skills, but on apparatus and drugs, deceives himself. In May 1978 Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler became the first climbers in history to reach the summit of Mount Everest without the use of supplementary oxygen - an event which made international headlines and permanently altered the future of mountaineering. Here Messner tells how the and Habeler accomplished the impossible - and how it felt. He describes the dangers of the Khumbu Icefield, the daunting Lhotse flank, two lonely storm-filled nights at 26,247 feet, and finally the last step to the summit. Everest: Expedition to the Ultimate is a riveting account of the exhaustion, the exhilaration and the despair of climbing into the death zone. The book also includes a history of the mountain, successful ascents and Messner's reflections on recent tragedies on Mount Everest. Reinhold Messner was the first to climb all fourteen peaks higher than 8,000 metres. The author of more than a dozen books on his adventures, he lives in a castle in northern Italy.
