Book excerpt: On the 23rd of May 2019, Hakan Bulgurlu became one of the fortunate few to have reached the summit of Mount Everest. To stand on top of the world's highest mountain is a humbling experience, to bear witness to nature at its most awe-inspiring and powerful is even more humbling. Bulgurlu's quest to climb Everest came with a purpose: making the environment the centre of his ambition to highlight the catastrophic effect climate change is having on our planet, to lead by example and to seek out practical solutions. He wanted to use the expedition as a wake-up call to what we are doing to the natural world. In his powerful new book, Bulgurlu tells the fascinating story of this adventure of a lifetime, harrowing and exhilarating in equal measure. He delves into the roots of the environmental crisis we find ourselves in, speaking to climate activists and campaigners, biologists, scientists, filmmakers, academics, economists, entrepreneurs, global leaders and innovators. They help shed light on the issues that we face and the solutions that will help secure a better future for generations to come. In this gripping account of his journey, Bulgurlu describes the challenges he faced in reaching the summit, and the challenges we all face in protecting the planet and the future of humanity.

A landscape artist of relevant stature, Robert Wood has painted in the best traditions of John Constable and George Inness and many others as famous. Sumptuous in color, correct in drawing, his landscapes are unique. His passion for storms, his reflections on the brilliantly colored pastoral scenes, his awe for the majestic mountains and valleys of the American West with its shorelines and vistas that run into the Pacific are all included in his works. Mrs. Flume was a close friend and admirer of Robert Wood. In this book, she describes the artist's ninety year span of life, from his early years in England to his years in Texas and California. She also brings together an array of personal photos on the artist's life as well as many of his color canvasses. Of special interest to artists and amateurs are the sections on How Robert Wood Painted and His Palette and Painting Notes. These tell how he painted the sky in connection with sunny days, mountains, shorelines, snow, etc. He gives the colors for the trees together with their trunks, limbs, and foliage, as well of grass, snow, water and flowers. In all of this, Violet has succeeded in giving the reader and the lover of art a real insight into the spiritual and physical world of one of today's most revered American artists.
