6.AnnapurnaAnnapurna
from The Lyons Press
Price: $3.94

Customer Review:
I consider "Annapurna," by Maurice Herzog to be an excellent read about mountaineering. Although I would generally recommend this book to anyone, I consider it an essential part of a mountaineers literature collection. For climbers, learning the lessons secondhand from Herzog rather then coming home... more info

from National Geographic
Price: $8.78

Customer Review:
Bearss obviously knows his material, and for those familiar with the Civil War his almost endless recitations of every brigade commander involved in every battle may be useful, but for someone trying to get a grasp on events, the endless recitations seriously bogs down the narrative. The book also... more info
