Description

Jim Davidson will speak about and sign his new book, "The Next Everest," in this in-store event. Jim Davidson will speak about and sign his new book, The Next Everest, on Thursday, July 8th at 6:30pm at Boulder Book Store.About the Book:On April 25, 2015, Jim Davidson was climbing Mount Everest when a 7.8 magnitude earthquake released avalanches all around him and his team, destroying their only escape route and trapping them at nearly 20,000 feet. It was the largest earthquake in Nepal in eighty-one years and killed about 8,900 people. That day also became the deadliest in the history of Everest, with eighteen people losing their lives on the mountain. Suspenseful and engrossing, The Next Everest portrays the experience of living through the biggest disaster to ever hit the mountain. Davidson's background in geology and environmental science makes him uniquely qualified to explain how this natural disaster unfolded and why the seismic threats lurking beneath Nepal are even greater today. But this story is not about “conquering” the world’s highest peak. Instead, it reveals how embracing change, challenge, and uncertainty prepares anyone to face their “next Everest” in life. _________________ IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATION*Tickets are $5 (plus a small convenience fee). *A coupon good for $5 off a copy of The Next Everest, or a purchase on the day of the event is included with your ticket.
