Authors\/Photographers Charlie and Diane Winger believe there is no better reason to move beyond a familiar horizon, explore what lies around the next bend, and discover a world outside our previous experience than \"Because it's there.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Like George Mallory, who uttered that famous response when asked why he strove to be the first to climb Mount Everest, the Wingers are also inspired by mountains. Charlie is the mountaineer of the family, and nearly all the snow-covered, glaciated, massive peaks in this photographic journey were his passion (and obsession). Diane is the hiker and casual rock climber, but has ventured up a few of those more challenging mountains along the way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Wingers draw on their extensive collection of photographs taken while writing guidebooks, climbing and trekking among some of the most beautiful peaks in the world, and enjoying time in special outdoor areas which they have come to love. Along the way, they tell a few stories and share a few laughs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Winger, Charlie Winger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1466466804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781466466807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.29d","brand":"Diane Winger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936086687999,"sku":"9781466466807","price":22.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_052eb9b2-925d-43cd-a4dd-adbcdfda735a.jpg?v=1681423509","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/because-its-there-diane-winger-9781466466807","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
