Hillary & Norgay: To the Top of Mount Everest (In the Footsteps of Explorers)
This exciting new book relates the story of the first explorers to reach the top of the world. Sir Edmund Hillary, a veteran New Zealand climber, and Tenzing Norgay, a Tibetan Sherpa or mountaineering guide, reached the top of Mount Everest on a British expedition in 1953. The achievement launched a 20th century obsession with climbing ever higher. Details include
- how other climbers tried and failed to reach the top of Everest
- how hard, dangerous, and difficult mountain climbing can be
- the mountain's history and a history of colonial conquest
- the job of the Sherpa as a guide to western mountaineering expeditions
- how climbing expeditions changed the way of life of the people who live near the mountains
- later Everest expeditions and their impact on the environment
