Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * "The authors bring extreme climbing to life. . . . Perhaps no author can rationalize why some choose to risk their lives . . . for the thrill of conquering a mountain. The Ledge comes perilously close and tells a ripping true story at the same time."--The Denver Post   In June 1992, best friends Jim Davidson and Mike Price stood atop Washington's Mount Rainier, celebrating what they hoped would be the first of many milestones in their lives as passionate mountaineers. Then their triumph turned tragic when a cave-in plunged them deep inside a glacial crevasse--the pitch-black, ice-walled hell of every climber's nightmares.   An avid adventurer since youth, Davidson was a seasoned climber at the time of the Rainier ascent. But the harrowing free fall left him challenged by nature's grandeur at its most unforgiving. Trapped on a narrow frozen shelf, deep below daylight, he desperately battled crumbling ice, snow that threatened to bury him alive, and crippling fear of the inescapable chasm below--all the while struggling to save his fatally injured friend. Finally, alone, with little equipment and rapidly dwindling hope, he confronted a fateful choice: the certainty of a slow, lonely death or the near impossibility of an agonizing climb for life. A story of heart-stopping adventure, heartfelt friendship, fleeting mortality, and implacable nature, The Ledge chronicles the elation and grief, dizzying heights and punishing depths, of a journey to hard-won wisdom.   "Plunges readers into a dark, icy chasm from which escape seems impossible. Then it reveals the strength it takes to look up, and to start climbing."--Jim Sheeler, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of the National Book Award finalist Final Salute   "How [Davidson] rescued himself is the core of The Ledge, and its most gripping part. The physical effort and will involved are astonishing."--The Plain Dealer   "A moving portrait of friendship and loss."--The Wall Street Journal.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. We've all heard of the "glass ceiling" for women. Yet even for women who break through the societal barriers to success, there's another danger: the glass ledge. "When the very qualities that help us achieve greatness turn into self-defeating behaviors, that's when we trip over the glass ledge," teaches Iman Oubou. "Yet we don't need to lose ourselves to become the ideal image of a hardworking, camera-ready woman. There is a better way to fulfill our dreams-one that allows us to be ourselves, on our own terms." With The Glass Ledge, Oubou offers a disruptive guide that explores the 10 most common themes around which women tend to derail themselves. Each chapter focuses on one of these self-sabotaging themes, incorporating counterintuitive and eye-opening information, as well as anecdotes from the author's personal journey, stories from other high-profile, successful women, and scientific research about why we act the way we do-and how to reclaim the story of our lives. While societal norms around gender dynamics have shifted, there's still a long way to go. "We don't have to wait for the culture to change for us," Oubou says. "Each of us has the power to change the beliefs and behaviors we don't want." The Glass Ledge is a practical and inspired call for any woman who wants to rewrite the narrative of success-and pay her efforts forward into the world.…
