Picture yourself climbing the tallest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest. Many people have successfully scaled this mountain, but others have tried and failed. Mt. Everest has been called a Himalayan Wonder because of its geography and weather extremes (Urmann). By exploring the geography, the people who have tried to climb it, and the supplies you will need, one can see how brave the many people who tried to climb it have been.

“Dokte Paul.” the first part of the book titled Mountains Beyond Mountains, begins when author and journalist Tracy Kidder first met Dr. Farmer in Haiti. Kidder describes Dr. Farmer as a “big-shot” Boston doctor who has chosen to do humanitarian-type work in Haiti even though he could have an easy career as a lecturer back in Boston. Kidder realizes that Dr. Farmer is the atypical doctor who would rather get to know his patients as people and cares about their health holistically instead of just treating the symptoms and moving on.

The Appalachian Mountains region is roughly 360,000 km squared, taking up about 3.6 percent of Canada's land surface. This region locates itself on the islands of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and a bit of Quebec, with Moncton and Halifax as some of its major cities.The rocks, most of which are mostly sedimentary, were changed drastically when Europe and North America collided, causing its geography to be uneven, with many jagged peaks. Forestry, agriculture, fishing, tourism, coal mining, logging, and manufacturing are their main industries.Their overall population lands at a bit more than 25 million. Some interesting facts are that they have the oldest mountains and the richest fishing.

Have you ever wondered what kind of hardships come with climbing the tallest mountain in the world before? Expectantly, the book Peak by Roland Smith and the movie Everest have a lot of similarities with some exceptionally prominent differences. From personal conflict and character conflict to the general aspect of climbing Mt. Everest, the book and the movie explore all different types of similarities and differences. Being similar, in both the movie and the book, the mountain always decides. The morals were constant and everyone experiences the same deal in similar ways. One significant difference came between Peak, the main character in the book, and Rob(5th summit attempt), the main character in the movie.

Warren Wilson. How did I end up here? I could, be anywhere else. However, Appalachia undoubtedly has to be the perfect place to foster my curiosity of the mountains. Throughout my life I have been interested in protecting the environment, many different avenues of art expression, and the cultural roots of mountain people. Now, all of those subjects are covered in The Encyclopedia of Appalachia, but I can go further to tie all of those subjects into the main topic of agriculture, specifically sustainable agriculture, which I just so happen to be majoring in (convenient, huh?).

What does the Appalachian Mountain and the Teatro Olimpico have in common? They are the oldest surviving of its kind. The Teatro Olimpico. Located in Vicenza, Italy, it is the oldest theatre surviving from the Renaissance. Designed by architect Andrea Palladio, its construction started in 1580 and took five years to create. It was designed as a miniature indoor Roman theatre that can fit up to 3,000 people. This theatre had a lot of unique features that exuded Italian Renaissance. The stage was raised about 70 feet by 18 feet deep in front of the scaena, or stage house. The stage had five alleyways leading up to it. Down each alleyway, there were small models of buildings to give the illusion of disappearing perspective. With many more luxury to the eye that dwell upon this theater and 431 years of legacy, of course a tremendous amount of hard work goes into its upkeep. I am reviewing the restoration of this monument in 1755 and beyond. I will investigate the restoration of the Teatro Olimpico by discussing the reasons for reconstructions, the process of the reconstruction and process of upkeep in the present day.

I have a nice book for sale. It is #16 in the Dana Girls Mystery Stories series.

14,000 feet in elevation, I was about to hike up, Matterhorn, one of the highest peaks in the world, and the air was a brisk -7 ℉. A pall fell over the previously greyish-blue sky of the Swiss Alps as a violent snowstorm was forming in the distance. There was a light blue cover of snow forming over the base of Matterhorn Mountain in the Swiss Alps. The guide at the base recommended we put our hike on hold due to poor weather conditions and extreme avalanche warnings, but as arrogant teenagers, we decided not to listen.

He stood on the lip of the plateau. The highest point of the peak. The sky glowed faintly above what appeared at first to be a line of cumulus clouds. Only they were not at all. They were forming way too fast. Faster than the sun’s rays could rise above the rim of the Earth. They were also in the higher reaches of the atmosphere, far too high for nature’s hand.
