When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Story
When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

Prepare for the hottest game around
Anyone who isn't living under a rock knows that pickleball is everywhere these days. For me, the game has become so popular, I'm actually a bit intimidated to get involved. This audiobook breaks down everything you need to know about the game and how to be comfortable enough to play and maybe even take a few steps and excel. All the basics are discussed, including basic strategies, terminology and outside the box advantages such as fitness and all of the benefits of regularly playing pickleball. After learning the terminology and basics, I feel ready to get out there on the court.
