Dabei erleben sie wunderbare Fortschritte, aber auch dramatische Rückschläge. Eine Abenteuergeschichte, der es nicht an persönlichen Statements fehlt, sei es zur Leichtsinnigkeit mancher Berggänger oder zu Extremsportarten, die den Tod als ständigen Begleiter haben. Biner redet Klartext und kontert die Kritik an den Schweizer Bergrettern im Zusammenhang mit Rettungseinsätzen auf dem Dach der Welt.". 2. Auflage. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket.

About About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985.

Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
