Memo
for a Saner World
Bob
Brown |
|
| Over
the years, Bob Brown has been assaulted, jailed, vilified and
shot at for his stance on the environment and human rights.
This is his account of the defining moments in that life of
activism, from the famous Franklin River blockade to his parliamentary
protest against George Bush. By turns inspiring, compassionate
and outraged, this personal story makes the key issues easily
understood. If you're someone who avoids reading about the world
because you think it's too depressing, here's the good news:
it's worse if you don't know. While some of the facts Bob presents
are less than cheerful, his message is powerfully hopeful.

Joe
Simpson
|
Paperback
$24.95
|
|
Joe Simpson, with just his partner Simon Yates, tackled the
unclimbed West Face of the remote 21,000 foot Siula Grande
in the Peruvian Andes in June 1985. But before they reached
the summit, disaster struck. Simon had an agonising decision
to make - to cut the rope holding Joe, or to surely die with
him. A few days later, Simon staggered into Base Camp,
exhausted and frostbitten, to tell their non-climbing companion
that Joe was dead. For three days he wrestled with guilt as
they prepared to return home. Then a cry in the night took
them out with torches, where they found Joe, badly injured,
crawling through the snowstorm in a delirium. Far from causing
Joe's death, Simon had paradoxically saved his friend's life.
What happened, and how they dealt with the psychological traumas
that resulted when Simon was forced into the appalling decision
to cut the rope, makes not only an epic of survival but a
compelling testament of friendship. This book is about to
be released as a major motion picture, directed by Oscar Winner
Kevin Macdonald.
