This is the amazing story of seven summits solo - how an American living in New Zealand set out to climb the highest peak on each of the world's seven continents. En route to Everest, Anderson climbed solo the other highest summits on six continents. In the end, after several previous attempts, atrocious weather in early September 1995 kept Anderson from the summit of Everest. The final prize remained beyond his grasp. This book is the story of those climbs. But it is also a travel adventure book, full of colour and wit. From the plains of Africa to the snows of Antarctica, it contains more laughs than it seems possible the danger could ever permit. With a foreword by Sir Edmund Hillary.

Based in New Zealand's stunning South Island, Peter Ryan's writing and images have been published around the world. In Hunting New Zealand - Parts Unknown he pays tribute to the game animals, people and places that have made New Zealand famous as one of the last great hunting adventures. It's a glimpse into the drama of roaring stags, tahr and chamois high in the haunting Southern Alps, and friendships made hunting game birds in stunning locations. With tales of adventure and nostalgia from some of the most talented people on the Kiwi hunting scene today, Hunting New Zealand is for those whose hearts belong in wild places.
