"This engaging account of the sexual customs and practices of the early Celts is told against the background of European history during the first millennium A.D. While the Celts remained relatively isolated in the British Isles, they developed unique sexual customs and practices. Men and women enjoyed marriages with multiple partners and rough sexual equality. And their laws reflected not what people should do, but what they did do. However, the Celtic way of life could not long endure in isolation. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe was in ferment. Saxon invaders hungry for conquest swept across Celtic Britain, seemingly bent on genocide. Christian missionaries established outposts in the Celtic lands, competing with the traditional beliefs of the druids. Celtic society had to adapt to meet the new and confusing conditions found in the world. And as new viewpoints seeped into Celtic life, they gradually altered their perception of sexuality. Celtic Sexuality explores the impact of sexuality on war, politics, law and spirituality. Far from limiting itself to events of the distant past, this book provides an exciting and fresh examination of the human condition by emphasizing that the Celts of ancient times were little different from the men and women who walked the earth after them."

For 50 years, celebrated mountaineer Bradford Washburn was obsessed with Frederick Cook's claim to have been the first to reach the summit of Mount McKinley in 1906. Washburn's conclusion: Cook was a fraud. At the very least Frederick Cook was a showman of outsized proportion. The Dishonorable Dr. Cook tells the story of the colorful Cook -- what sort of man he was, why he staked his reputation on a flimsy story, and why so many people have been anxious to debunk his claims. Other details of Cook's checkered career are also included, such as his role in Peary's unsuccessful expedition to the North Pole in 1892-1893, his own amazing circumnavigation of McKinley in 1903, and his determination to be the first to reach the North Pole. Cook's account of the 1906 McKinley ascent is described, followed by evidence against it. EB; 10 X 0.75 X 8.5 inches; 185 pages.
