When eleven climbers died on K2 on August 1, 2008, it was a stark
reminder that the world's second-highest mountain has, for more
than a century, been regarded as the most difficult and dangerous
of all-for every four people who reach the top, one dies in the
attempt. K2, The Savage Mountain tells the dramatic story of the
1953 American expedition, led by Charles S. Houston, when a
combination of terrible storms and illness stopped the team short
of the 28,251-foot summit. Then on the descent, tragedy struck, and
how the climbers made it back to safety is renowned in the annals
of climbing. K2, The Savage Mountain captures this sensational tale
with an unmatched power that has earned this book its place as one
of the classics of mountaineering literature.
This early work by Charles Houston Goudiss and Alberta Moorhouse
Goudiss was originally published in 1918 and we are now
republishing it as part of our WWI Centenary Series. 'Foods That
Will Win the War and How to Cook Them' is an excellent work on a
variety of meals and food stuffs that help to reduce wastage during
wartime. 'Food will win the war, and the nation whose food
resources are best conserved will be the victor. This is the truth
that our government is trying to drive home to every man, woman and
child in America. We have always been happy in the fact that ours
was the richest nation in the world, possessing unlimited supplies
of food, fuel, energy and ability; but rich as these resources are
they will not meet the present food shortage unless every family
and every individual enthusiastically co-operates in the national
saving campaign as outlined by the United States Food
Administration.' 'The regulations prescribed for this saving
campaign are simple and easy of application. Our government does
not ask us to give up three square meals a day-nor even one. All it
asks is that we substitute as far as possible corn and other
cereals for wheat, reduce a little our meat consumption and save
sugar and fats by careful utilization of these products.' This book
is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating
and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography
and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the
passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new
perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human
history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory
essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its
historical context.
