Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Features a new “where are they now” section, updating readers on lives of expedition’s original climbers Fully updated and detailed resources based on the "Anti-Racism in the Outdoors" (ARITO) guide Readers’ Guide explores additional context and questions for further consideration Outdoor journalist James Edward Mills’s book, The Adventure Gap, is a groundbreaking volume that is equal parts adventure story, history, and inspiration as it chronicles the first American all-Black summit attempt on Denali in 2013. Mills uses this momentous expedition as a jumping-off point to explore diversity in the outdoors, from Mathew Henson who stood at the North Pole in 1909 to contemporary adventurers such as polar explorer Barbara Hillary and rock climber Kai Lightner. This tenth anniversary edition once again shares the compelling events that unfolded during Expedition Denali’s summit bid. But it also provides fresh context: A new thought-provoking afterword by Mills examines what has evolved in and around the outdoor community since that effort. He highlights progress and inspiring stories, such as Full Circle Everest, an expedition led by Phillip Henderson that put an all-Black team on top of the world’s highest peak. And he points to places where we can and should all strive for higher achievement. The Adventure Gap has become an essential text in outdoor education and inspiration--a story of our times, now more relevant than ever.
Download or read book Higher Ground written by Luis Benitez and published by Erudition. This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our public lands are the places we go for relief from modern society and to know ourselves better. They are also the economic basis for one of our nation's strongest economic pillars: the outdoor recreation industry. Every day, we face severe news reports of the state of climate change. All the while our current Supreme Court is rolling back clean air standards as the former administration did their best to dismantle our clean water laws and weaken protections on our treasured public lands. Outdoor recreation is becoming a recognized force in the United States. As an economic sector, outdoor recreation spans from New Hampshire ski resorts to Yellowstone's Old Faithful Inn, from the fishing guides plying the Florida Keys for tarpon to gear manufacturers like the North Face. The sector employs 5 million people and is measured by the Bureau of Economic Analysis at $1.1 trillion in annual economic impact. That is almost larger than the auto industry ($340 billion) and the pharmaceutical industry ($331 billion) combined. Luis Benitez is the emerging face of the outdoor industry's political movement. He is a former international mountaineering guide who guided famed blind mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer to the summit of Mount Everest. In 2015, Benitez was appointed director of the Colorado Outdoor Recreation Industry Office by Colorado governor John Hickenlooper. In 2019, he was hired as vice president of governmental affairs and global impact for VF Corp, parent company of outdoor industry giants The North Face, Smartwool, and Eagle Creek. People are suffering and an environmental crisis is looming over us, and through this book, you will come to understand why the outdoor recreation industry is so much more than fun equipment and amazing experiences. You will see that it is possible for the one remaining bipartisan economy in the United States to save the world.
