More than ever, we need our universities to be engines of change and social justice. Universities can play a major role in making this complex and changing world a better place, helping economies and societies to adapt and respond to the grand challenges we face, from tackling climate change to harnessing artificial intelligence. This is their mission and their challenge. If universities are to remain true to their higher purpose, they must also find a higher gear. Ed Byrne and Charles Clarke show how transforming universities can change the world.
For Chris Bonington and Charles Clarke, long-time friends and expedition partners, few mountains were more alluring than Sepu Kangri. Known locally as ‘the Great White Snow God’, Tibet’s nearly 7,000-metre mountain had never before been visited by Westerners. Armed only with a tourist map for reference, the two set off for this elusive peak in 1996. In the reconnaissance and two expeditions that followed, neither of them were expecting to be profoundly impacted by their experiences. However, they not only met their match in Sepu Kangri, but both found their expertise pushed to the limit. While Clarke acted as a travelling doctor, treating myriad ailments encountered along the way, including a life-saving diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy, Bonington’s love of technology saw him testing out cutting-edge satellite phones and computers, allowing them to communicate with the outside world for the first time on an expedition. Tibet’s Secret Mountain is a story of discovery as much as it is an account of the expeditions, and it is this that sets it apart from other mountaineering memoirs. The focus not only on the climbing itself, but the experiences, people and tensions that accompany it, offers a poignancy that anyone with a love of adventure will identify with. Beautifully written and full of unfailing cheer, Tibet’s Secret Mountain is Bonington and Clarke’s love letter to mountaineering.
Ulmekirjanduse suurmeister Sir Arthur C. Clarke ja moodsa briti ulme superstaar Stephen Baxter ühendasid 21. sajandi avakümnendil jõud, et luua ulmeromaanide triloogia, mis tõukus Clarke'i ilmakuulsast teosest "2001: kosmoseodüsseia", olles tolle originaalse romaanisarja teemasid edasi arendavaks omamoodi paralleeltsükliks."Ajaodüsseia I. Aja silm" algab sellega, kuidas inimkonda uurima saabunud tulnukate rass paiskab segi meie aegruumi kontiinumi, nii et 1885. aastal Briti India loodepiiril tegutsev nooruke ajakirjanik Rudyard Kipling asetab end korraga vastamisi 2037. aastast pärit helikopteri meeskonna ja ÜRO rahuvalvajatega. Enne veel, kui eri aegadest pärit romaani kangelased jõuavad aru saada, mis õieti on toimunud, kistakse nad verisesse heitlusse Aleksander Suure faalanksite ja Tshingis-khaani mongolihordide vahel iidse Babüloni müüride all...
Ulmekirjanduse 7. suurmeister 1986. aastast Sir Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008) ja moodsa briti ulme superstaar Stephen Baxter (1957) ühendasid 21. sajandi avakümnendil jõud, et luua ulmeromaanide triloogia, mis tõukus Clarke'i ilmakuulsast teosest "2001: kosmoseodüsseia" (2001: A Space Odyssey; 1968, ek. 1999), olles tolle originaalse romaanisarja teemasid edasi arendavaks omamoodi paralleeltsükliks.ÜRO rahuvalvaja Bisesa Dutt on pärast meeletut ajarännuseiklust Esmasündinute loodud puslemaailmas Miris tagasi Londonis aastal 2037 ja päris maailmas pole mingit ajastute segipaiskumist toimunudki. Bisesa on lihtsalt ootamatult sattunud tagasi Londonisse, samasse päeva, mil esimese raamatu seiklused algasid, ainult et bioloogiliselt on tema jaoks möödunud viis aastat. Maad tabab sel päeval esimene päikesetorm ning teadlased arvutavad välja, et järgmine päikesetorm tabab planeeti aastal 2042. Ning sedapuhku hävitaks see Maal kõik elava.Kui nende romaanide pöörastest teadusfantastilistest ideedest aimub vanameister Clarke'i kätt, siis teoste hoogsast ja põnevast sündmustikust tunneb lugeja rohkem ära Stephen Baxteri käekirja. Orpheuse Raamatukogus ilmub peatselt ka "Ajaodüsseia"-triloogia kolmas romaan "Esmasündinud" (2007).

‘For you the war is over’. ‘Last of the Kriegies’ tells the extraordinary stories of five of the last remaining Second World War RAF Bomber Command Prisoners-of-War: pilot Reg Barker, bomb aimer Charles Clarke, air gunner David Fraser, air gunner Albert Gunn and navigator Henry Wagner. Each veteran shares the journey they went through joining up with the Royal Air Force, their training and crewing up, and operational duties with RAF Bomber Command. We accompany them on raids over enemy territory as they fight to survive against the relentless flak, searchlights, and deadly enemy nightfighters. Eventually each airmen’s next of kin receives a knock on the door and the dreaded ‘regret to inform’ you telegram. Reg, Charles, David, Albert and Henry describe the circumstances in which they are shot from the sky, descending by parachute in to hostile territory, and their subsequent failed attempt to avoid capture. Interrogation follows and we hear how the downed airmen negotiate the aggressive and devious tactics employed by their captors as they try and extract secret information. Our ‘Kriegsgefangener’ soon find themselves behind the barb wire of a German prison camp facing the trials and tribulations of daily life as a ‘kriegie’; the battle with hunger and frustration, the baiting and harassing of prison guards, friendships made, and attempts to break out and escape their captivity. In the final months of the war some of our POWs endure the gruelling and harsh conditions of the forced ‘Long March’. Despite frustrating delays, as the Nazi regime enters its final death throes, our airmen eventually taste the sweetness of liberation and journey home to loved ones and family. Fighting High Publishing and Bomber Command historian Steve Darlow present the extraordinary testimony of five veterans who endured and survived being shot down, captivity, degradation, and suffering. Illustrated with previously unpublished photographs and with a foreword from former Gulf War POW Squadron Leader Bob Ankerson RAF (Ret’d) ‘Last of the Kriegie’s' reveals the extraordinary strength and resilience of the human spirit struggling with incarceration and the loss of freedom.
