Soft cover. Condition: New. Among the usual stories of mountaineering and early exploration in the Himalayas are a few hidden gems pioneering women who beat all odds, defying the lazy stereotypes about gender, to explore and conquer the high Himalayas.Contained in this magnificent collection of daring exploration are accounts by… four of these 'high altitude heroines'Alexandra David-Néel, Fanny Bullock Workman, Henrietta Sands Merrick and Lilian A. Starr.Alexandra David-Néel writes about her 1923 secret expedition to Tibet and its capital, Lhasa. Accompanied by a young lama, Yongden, she willingly suffers the harsh travel conditions, frequent outbreaks of disease, the ever-present danger of border control and the military to reach her goal, becoming the first Western woman to reach the 'forbidden city'. American geographer and travel writer Fanny Bullock Workman recounts her astonishing exploratory adventure in 1906 around Nun Kun, the mountain massif located on the border of Jammu and Kashmir. Forty-seven years old at the time, she conquers Pinnacle Peak without any modern equipment and encumbered in her voluminous skirts, setting an altitude record for women.Henrietta Sands Merrick narrates her exciting journey through and around Ladakh in 1931. On her journey, joined by her friends Sandy and Margot, and her orderlies Happy and Gulam, she travels to one of the deepest gorges in the world, experiences the 'Devil Dances' at Hemis and spends a night below the stars at the Khardong Pass.And, Lilian A. Starr, a nurse from the Peshawar Hospital, journeys to the tribal country of Tirah near the Khyber Pass to rescue a young girl abducted by the Afridis. Encountering fierce tribal chieftains and exploring the surrounding Khanki Valley, she is able to successfully negotiate the girl's release.Filled with riveting tales of breathtaking ascents in sub-zero temperatures, perilous journeys to the unknown, and rare anecdotes of life in the high Himalayas, this is a one-of-a-kind collection for all lovers of adventure and travel writing.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book gives a concise account of the Society of Jesus from its humble beginnings as a handful of dedicated followers under the guidance of St. Ignatius in France in 1534 to its present global reach. Spanning nearly five centuries, the Society has been instrumental in diverse aposto…lic ministries celebrated in this volume: education, missionary work, science, literature, and more. Through these activities, the Jesuits have sought not only to spread devotion to God but also to promote compassion and intelligence. In its pages, the author provides a detailed account of these initiatives, along with insightful commentary on the Society's enduring papal, ecclesiastical, and secular controversies. The book not only fills a gap in the general history of Catholicism but also provides the reader with a unique vantage point on the broader cultural and religious movements within which the Jesuits have played an enduring role. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
