Once started you cannot put it down.  —Sir Chris Bonington, author of Everest the Hard Way, knighted for his services to mountaineering ...lively, engaging, and funny... —Meg Wolitzer, New York Times bestselling author of The Interestings Named a MUST-READ book pick of 2024—Independent Book Reviews Winner, 2024 Pencraft Award for Literary Excellence The plan was outrageous: A small expedition of four climbers would attempt a new route on the East Face of Mt. Everest, considered the most remote and dangerous side of the mountain, summitted only once before. They would climb without using supplemental oxygen, porter support, or chance for rescue. Mimi Zieman would accompany the climbers as the doctor—and only woman—although she was still in her third year of medical school. Full of self-doubt, Zieman grappled with whether to go but couldn't resist the call of the wilderness and mountains. On Everest, when three climbers disappeared during their summit attempt, she reached the knife edge of her limits and dug deeply to fight for the climbers' lives and to find her voice. Sparkling with suspense and vulnerability, Tap Dancing on Everest is a true survival story about the risks we take to become our most authentic selves. In this inspiring coming-of-age travel memoir that includes solo hiking through Nepal, Zieman weaves her childhood as the daughter of Jewish immigrants raised in 1970's New York City, her father a Holocaust survivor, with adventure, medicine, and empowerment. She captures the curiosity and awe of a young woman as she faces down messages to stay small and safe and ventures into the unknown.   a lively, gritty memoir...(that) conveys both the tension and triumph of a wild adventure. —Kirkus Reviews  Enlightening and vivid...a thoroughly engrossing adventure that will prove hard to put down.  —Midwest Book Reviews  With a poetic vision that is staggering in its honesty and beauty, Mimi Zieman brings readers into the heart of a Himalayan ascent, guiding us along some of the unexpected pathways that intense adventures can trace in both body and mind. —Katie Ives, author of Imaginary Peaks: The Riesenstein Hoax and Other Mountain Dreams  Mimi Zieman's book is an ideal alchemy of grit and grace. The lessons Zieman learns on the mountain are important lessons for us all. A wild and deeply satisfying journey.  —Emily Rapp Black, New York Times bestselling author of The Still Point of The Turing World  Mimi Zieman is brave, tough, and impressive when on Everest, and lively, engaging, and funny when on the page. After returning from her climb, she says she was  very grateful for ceilings.  I myself, am grateful for her vivid recounting of all her journeys.  — Meg Wolitzer, New York Times bestselling author of The Interestings  The story takes place on a frozen summit but is bound to melt your heart. The courage that drove her to this unlikely adventure permeates her candid recounting of her breathtaking tale.  —Etgar Keret, Award-Winning author of The Seven Good Years  The small band that formed the Everest '88 team will be remembered as free spirits who went to the unknown and embraced the true spirit of adventure...an essential addition to mountain literature.  —Norbu Tenzing Norgay, Vice President of the American Himalayan Foundation, and son of Tenzing Norgay  Tap Dancing on Everest is that rare book that manages to capture the adrenaline rush of a thrilling adventure and the gut-wrenching pathos of an epic tragedy. Mimi Zieman is telling a story that readers will be unable to put down...I was utterly captivated by this story. You will be, too. —Steve Almond, New York Times bestselling author of All the Secrets of the World   story touched me deeply.  —Dr. Tom Hornbein, Author of Everest: The West Ridge, and high-altitude medicine researcher  In beautiful prose, Zieman brings us into her family's Jewish immigrant roots, her city childhood, her dream to become a dancer, and how climbing and adventure helped her reconcile her past with the woman she became. —Ann Hood, New York Times bestselling author of Comfort: A Journey Through Grief  The best ascent of Everest in terms and style of pure adventure.  —Reinhold Messner, the first man to solo Everest  From page one, Tap Dancing on Everest draws you into the heart-stopping world of mountaineering. An engaging narrative rich in details and vulnerability, the story captures the adventure in reaching beyond one's comfort zone and into the unknown.  - Johanna Garton, Author of Edge of the Map: The Mountain Life of Christine Boskoff  A captivating story, seldom told, about what it's like to take care of Everest climbers from the perspective of a feisty expedition doctor. This page-turner is a must-read for real and armchair adventurers everywhere.  —Stephen Venables, Award-Winning author of Alone at the Summit and first British man to summit Everest without oxygen  By turns gripping and charming, tragic and joyful, Zieman's rocky, ultimately revelatory journey shows how the true triumph of the summit is the discovery of her calling.  —Allison K Williams, author of Seven Drafts: Self-Edit Like a Pro from Blank Page to Book  Mimi Zieman's compelling and very personal memoir recounts...her courage and determination in the face of continued obstacles, and the passion and persistence that bring her to the roof of the world. —Arlene Blum, author Annapurna: A Woman's Place  ...breathtaking memoir...is a symphony of courage, vulnerability, and the call of the mountains, making it a must-read for those who appreciate adventurous tales that defy the norm.  - American Writing Awards Review  ...one-in-a-million memoir...for adventure addicts and sentence junkies alike.

Family-friendly Attractions

Georgia Aquarium is an amazing place with a variety of marine life on display. I especially liked the giant tank where I could see whale sharks and dolphins up close. It was very interactive and great for families, especially kids. The facilities were modern and the viewing experience was smooth.

World of Coca-Cola

Museums

E11***31

It is very convenient to get tickets. I didn&#39;t expect that I could get tickets directly from Ctrip abroad. The Coca-Cola Museum is still worth a visit. There are all kinds of flavors to drink as you like. There are introductions to the various periods and stages of development of Coca-Cola. Due to my limited English level, I can only see and taste it.

Centennial Olympic Park

小笼包沙发

This square is a large park in the middle of the street, free. You can stroll around when you have time, take photos at the Fifth Ring Road, etc. There is a Ferris wheel next to it, and the view of the surrounding buildings is pretty good. Then walk to the CNN headquarters in 5 minutes.

Atlanta History Center

小溪小海

After reading the comments and pictures posted by other travelers, I feel that the museum has been renovated after 2020, and the renovation effect is very good. However, the ticket price has also increased-it is not $16.5 as everyone said, I clearly paid $27! And no cash or UnionPay cards are accepted.
There are too many contents. Coming here is equivalent to a museum + forest park + celebrity residence + zoo. It is also a good choice for weddings and photo-taking. After walking for a day, I didn&rsquo;t finish the tour. Can $27 be more worthwhile? There are movies and guides in the exhibition hall. I usually think my English is good, but now it seems that it is still not enough.
