Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Stated first Edition; uncommon thus. Spine a bit cocked; a short tear and some edgewear to dustjacket. After a near-fatal climbing accident, author Rob Schultheis found himself doing seemingly impossible things as he down-climbed to safety, then spent years trying to figure out exactly what had happened to him. Bone Games is the result of his investigations into the state of grace sometimes experienced in extreme athletic performance, ranging from historical and anthropological research to cutting-edge sports psychology and science. Extreme physical effort, especially when coupled with risk and deprivation, has been known to produce preternatural effects in people. These range from 'runner's high', or being in the zone, to far more mystical experiences - visions, hallucinations, and superhuman performance. [This] is the story of Rob Schultheis's exploration of this strange terrain - the altered states of consciousness, or access to something that is unknown, that is the elusive product of extreme sports, going beyond the easy parameters of normal life . He finds the paranormal in rock-climbing, mountaineering, ultrarunning, kayaking, climbing and hang-gliding . in accounts of Arctic explorers and shipwreck victims. He finds parallels in shamanistic practices and Zen buddhism. A cult classic; quite scarce in dustjacket. Seller Inventory # SKU2020023462
