A renowned climber and National Geographic photographer shares his incredible adventures—and the early trauma that drove him to seek such heights.“An extraordinary memoir of mental illness that reads like a thriller.”—Amy Ellis Nutt, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author of Becoming Nicole“In order to escape madness, I will live madly. I will risk my life in order to save it.”Growing up in the mountains of Utah, Cory Richards was constantly surrounded by the outdoors. His father, a high school teacher and a ski patroller, spent years teaching Richards and his brother how to ski, climb, mountaineer, and survive in the wild. Despite a seemingly idyllic childhood, the Richards home was fraught with violence, grief, and mental illness. After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and dropping out of high school, Richards subsumed himself in the worlds of photography and climbing, seeking out the farthest reaches of the world to escape the darkness. Then, in the midst of a wildly successful career in adventure photography, a catastrophic avalanche changed everything, forcing Richards to confront the trauma of his past, evaluate his own mental health, and learn to rewrite his story.The Color of Everything is a thrilling tale of risk and adventure, written by a man who has done it all: He’s stood at the top of the world, climbed imposing mountain faces alone in the dark, and become the only American to summit an 8,000-meter peak in winter. But it is also the story of a tumultuous life—a stirring, lyrical memoir that captures the profound musings of an unquiet mind grappling with the meaning of success, the cost of fame and addiction, and whether it is possible to outrun your demons. With exquisite prose and disarming candor, accompanied by stunning photos from his career, Richards excavates the roots of his trauma and shares what it took for him to climb out of it.

Hlavním tématem knihy je rozhodnutí být svatým, tedy naplnit poslání, ke kterému je povolán každý člověk.

Audrey Richards (1899-1984) was a leading British anthropologist of the twentieth century and the first woman president of the Royal Anthropological Institute. Based on fieldwork conducted at a time when the discipline was dominated by male anthropologists, Chisungu: A Girlâ ™s Initiation Ceremony Among the Bemba of Zambia is widely hailed as a classic of anthropology and African and gender studies.Underpinned by painstaking research carried out by Richards among the Bemba people in northern Zambia in the 1930s, Chisungu focuses on the initiation ceremonies for young Bemba girls. Pioneering the study of womenâ ™s rituals and challenging the prevailing theory that rites of passage served merely to transfer individuals from one status to another, Richards writes about the incredibly rich and diverse aspects of ritual that characterised Chisungu: its concern with matriliny; deference to elders; sex and reproduction; the birth of children; ideas about the continuity between past, present and future; and the centrality of emotional conflict.On a deeper level, Chisungu is a crucial work for the role it accords to the meaning of symbolism in explaining the structure of society, paving the way for much subsequent understanding of the role of symbolic meaning and kinship.This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Jessica Johnson and an introduction by Jean La Fontaine.

Píše se rok 1863. Jenže je to jiný rok 1863, než jaký by měl být. Čas prudce změnil směr a lidé činí kroky, které povedou k ničivé světové válce. Ministerský předseda lord Palmerston věří, že zmocní-li se třech Očí nágy, dokáže události pozměnit a válce se vyhnout. Dva z drahokamů už má, potřebuje však, aby sir Richard Francis Burton získal ten třetí. Králův agent má tedy možnost vrátit se do Měsíčních hor a znovu se pokusit lokalizovat zdroj Nilu. V cestě mu ale stojí konkurenční expedice a hrozí konfrontace, která by mohla podnítit samotnou válku, jíž se Palmerston snaží předejít…Burton, polapený spletitou pavučinou příčiny, následku a nevyhnutelnosti, si příliš neuvědomuje, že v sázce je mnohem více než by mohl vůbec tušit. Ke konečnému střetu dochází v Londýně, kde se Burton v roce 1840 musí postavit muži zodpovědnému za změnu času – Skákajícímu Jackovi!
