Everest : Mountain Without Mercy (Hardcover)
by Broughton Coburn (Author), David Breashears (Afterword), Tim Cahill (Introduction)
This is a beautiful, large coffee table sized book. The photography is sharp, clear and the colors are beautiful. What is most impressive is the range of the text. It takes up the culture of the Sherpas, Buddhism, some geological and physiological findings as well as the climbing and filming of the Everest IMAX movie.
