Description
Everest, Inc. explores how the world’s highest mountain became not only a symbol of human endurance, but also a global business shaped by guiding companies, ambitious climbers, local communities, and international commerce. Drawing on reporting and vivid firsthand accounts, it examines the opportunities, dangers, and ethical tensions created by the commercialization of Mount Everest. The book offers a compelling look at ambition, risk, inequality, and the complicated costs of turning an extraordinary natural wonder into an industry.
