Into the silence
Into the silence by Wade Davis is a 2011 Science & Technology book written by TED speaker Wade Davis, paired here with the talk they gave.
If the quest for Mount Everest began as a grand imperial gesture, as redemption for an empire of explorers that had lost the race to the Poles, it ended as a mission of regeneration for a country and a people bled white by war.
