520    "In May 2014, the mountaineer and scientist John All fell 
       into a crevasse near Everest and took a series of videos 
       as he struggled to climb out 70 feet of ice and snow with 
       fifteen broken bones - including 6 cracked vertebrae, 
       internal bleeding, a severely dislocated shoulder, and his
       face covered in blood. The videos of him went viral and 
       appeared in newscasts all over the world: CNN, BBC, 
       Australia, Brazil, Israel, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, etc.
       and every website imaginable - from People Magazine to 
       National Geographic. NPR called him "a badass for 
       science." Yet this story is only the latest of All's 
       adventures. He's also won a footrace for his life with a 
       wild hyena, stepped on a black mamba in the African bush, 
       and scaled Everest - all in pursuit of his true passion: 
       the future of adaptation to our world's changing climate. 
       Icefall is more than a fascinating adventure story-it is a
       report from the extremes, which hold new lessons about the
       impact of climate change. It is about the collapsing 
       Andean glaciers, the hidden jungles in Honduras where 
       native people have learned about surviving hurricanes, and
       the highest points on earth, where more scientific secrets
       lie. The result is a thrilling adventure memoir with 
       profound lessons for how humans will adjust as our world 
       continues to change beneath our feet"--|cProvided by
