Zeticula Ltd Extra-Terrestrial Liberty An Enquiry into the Nature and Causes of Tyrannical Government Beyond the Earth
Book SynopsisAs humanity expands its presence into space and ultimately settles beyond earth permanently, what freedoms can people expect? On the one hand space offers an escape from the traditions and entrenched patterns on Earth. On the other hand, how can you be free when the air you breathe comes from a manufacturing process controlled by someone else? In four essays, Charles Cockell explores the nature of extra-terrestrial liberty, one of the most pressing discussions in the future of political philosophy. Charles Cockell is Professor of Astrobiology at the University of Edinburgh. He has previously worked at the British Antarctic Survey and NASA and is Director of the UK Centre for Astrobiology.

Vertebrate Publishing Ltd The Endless Knot: K2, Mountain of Dreams and Destiny
Book SynopsisA monumental book - I defy anyone to read it and remain unmoved. – Stephen Venables, Alpine Journal. Acclaimed as one of the most powerful accounts of mountain adventure and tragedy ever written, The Endless Knot is a harrowing account of the 1986 K2 disaster. A rare first-hand account from a survivor at the very epicentre of the drama, The Endless Knot describes the disaster in frank detail. Kurt Diemberger's account of the final days of success, accident, storm and escape during which five climbers died, including his partner Julie Tullis and the great British mountaineer Al Rouse, is lacerating in its sense of tragedy, loss and dogged survival. Only Diemberger and Willi Bauer escaped the mountain. K2 had claimed the lives of 13 climbers that summer. Kurt Diemberger is one of only two climbers to have made first ascents of two 8000-metre peaks, Broad Peak and Dhaulagiri. A superb mountaineer, the K2 trauma left him physically and emotionally ravaged, but it also marked him out as an instinctive and tenacious survivor. After a long period of recovery Diemberger published The Endless Knot and resumed life as a mountaineer, filmmaker and international lecturer.Trade ReviewA monumental book - I defy anyone to read it and remain unmoved. – Stephen Venables, Alpine Journal.Table of ContentsIntroduction. 1- The lonely Mountain. 2- The boat. 3- Dream Mountain – K2 from the North. 4- England – Tunbridge Wells. 5- Italy – Bologna. 6- Raid on Broad Peak. 7- Tashigang – Place of Happiness. 8- Jinlab – The Magic of the Mountains. 9- The Village on the Moraine. 10- Threats Post to Health by High Altitude. 11- Success and Tragedy – Russian Roulette. 12- Julie has Doubts. 13- The Ice Avalanche and the Riddle of the Teapot. 14- The Decision – We Go Together. 15- Pushing to Great Heights. 16- The Korean Tent. 17- The Key Factor – A Tent. 18- The Lost Day. 19- The Summit – Our Dreams Come True. 20- The Fall. 21- Down to 8,000 Metres. 23- Flight from the Death Zone. 24- Where is Mrufka? 25- Perpetuum Mobile. 26- Clouds from Both Sides.
