Annapurna by Maurice Herzog

 

In 1950, no mountain higher than 8,000 meters had ever been climbed. Maurice Herzog and other members of the French Alpine Club had resolved to try. Their goal was a 26,493-foot Himalayan peak called Annapurna. But unlike other climbs, which draw on the experience of prior reconnaissance, the routes up Annapurna had never been analyzed before. Herzog and his team had to locate the mountain using sketchy, crude maps, pick out a single, untried route, and go for the summit. Annapurna is the unforgettable account of this dramatic and heroic climb, and of its harrowing aftermath. Although Herzog and his comrade Louis Lachenal reached the mountain's summit, their descent was a nightmare of frostbite, snow blindness, and near death. With grit and courage manifest on every page, Herzog's narrative is one of the great mountain-adventure stories of all time.

Anne and Marco Conti seem to have it all--a loving relationship, a wonderful home, and their beautiful baby, Cora. But one night when they are at a dinner party next door, a terrible crime is committed. Suspicion immediately focuses on the parents. But the truth is a much more complicated story.

Inside the curtained house, an unsettling account of what actually happened unfolds. Detective Rasbach knows that the panicked couple is hiding something. Both Anne and Marco soon discover that the other is keeping secrets, secrets they've kept for years.

What follows is the nerve-racking unraveling of a family--a chilling tale of deception, duplicity, and unfaithfulness that will keep you breathless until the final shocking twist.

Return to the Moon:  50 Years from “One Small Step” (LECTURE)

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s “one small step” on the surface of our celestial neighbor, the Moon.  How did we accomplish one of mankind’s greatest achievements in under a decade, and what did we learn from the Apollo program?  With digitally restored footage and hands-on demonstrations, Philip Blanco, Ph.D. will take us back to the Moon and discuss current and future plans (?) to return, this time not just to leave flags and footprints, but perhaps, to stay.Dr. Blanco’s interest in space and astronomy was inspired by his earliest memories of the Apollo landings, and his father’s explosive backyard chemistry experiments. After obtaining his Ph.D. in Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh, he continued his research on active galaxies at UCSD, and worked under contract to NASA on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite. He is currently a professor in the astronomy department of Grossmont College, and volunteers with colleagues at SDSU to develop the latest technologies for astronomy education.
