Simon Yates is probably best known much to his chagrin as "the guy who cut the rope" on Joe Simpson during their descent of a new route on the West Face of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. In Flame of Adventure Yates touches on this famous story and shares his perspective on climbing styles; he also shares tales of personal embarrassment childhood experiences and the different cultures he has encountered in his travels. He looks at himself through the eyes of "civilization" talking about using his climbing skills while working on a construction site and the terror his apparent risks triggers in other workers. He in turn is amazed by their perspective. The Mountaineers Books paperback books

Some light spotting and discoloration small light dampstain to some upper blank corners but a very good copy. Old signature on title. Contemporary half parchment sides with speckled paper red edges.Only Edition. Winter's stark beauties are precisely described by a writer of deep learning and broad interests. Citing literature and the classics including Pindar Hesiod Aristophanes and Homer in Greek as well as contemporary sources from scientific journals to travel accounts the author examines the seasons the meteorological manifestations of winter its effect on humans and its aesthetic and bodily pleasures. He discusses "absolute cold" the causes of wind snow's qualities and colors superstitious beliefs in its healing powers frost and hoarfrost avalanches glaciers ice and its different qualities chemical experiments for manufacturing artificial ice and physiological and physical effects of winter and cold on animals for example whose fur changes color; on humans when they freeze to death or nearly so; or on windowpanes which "sweat" with condensed moisture. The seventh and final chapter on the "various pleasures of winter" contains a well-informed digression into music and opera with an appraisal of celebrated contemporary composers instrumentalists and singers including Händel Porpora G. Giacomelli Predieri Farinelli Caffarelli Francesca Cuzzoni the violinist Guignon the viola da gambist Desmarets and the flutist Blavet. While he praises the opera Härter quotes from some of the many contemporary diatribes against the genre by Gottsched Pluche and others who deplored its irrational and amoral pleasures. He concludes that neither adoration nor scorn of the opera are reasonable but that it can be a legitimate wintry pleasure. In the final pages he considers the spiritual benefits of winter so conducive to introspection and in his concluding remarks recommends it as the best season for experiments in electricity.The work is dedicated to Otto Christian von Lohenschiold 1720-1761 Rector of the Academy University of Tübingen. In a humorous preface the author's friend Johann Kies Professor of physics and mathematics at Tübingen and author of several physics treatises including a dissertation on the rainbow concedes that unwilling to be reminded of a season that he loathes he could not bring himself to read the book but should his friend write a treatise on one of the other seasons he promises to read it!
