LOCATION:Mary Winspear Center :: 2243 Beacon Avenue Sidney, BC  Sidney, V8L 1W9
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Speaking on his novel, Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory and the Conquest of Everest, is Wade Davis, Explorer-in-Residence at the National Geographic Society (1999-2012) and Professor of Anthropology, and the BC Leadership Chair in Cultures and Ecosystems at Risk at UBC. In a monumental work of history and adventure, ten years in the writing, Wade Davis asks not whether George Mallory was the first to reach the summit of Everest, but rather why he kept on climbing on that fateful day. His answer lies in a single phrase uttered by one of the survivors as they retreated from the mountain: &lsquo;The Price of Life is Death.&rsquo;</p>
