It is a treat for the adventurous soul - You want the story to continue "Climbing to the top of the world is as much a psychological battle as much as it is a physical effort. I am sure all the readers will greatly enjoy this book and treasure it as a resource as they plan their own expeditions." Ang Tshering Sherpa, Immediate Past President, Nepal Mountaineering Association. Chairman, Asian Trekking "A highly emotional book written by a strong man. It shows what it takes to make it to the top. The book reads in one sitting, it captures you, and through it you see a different world described with talent and passion." Dr. Mark Dykman, Professor of Physics, Michigan State University" "This book is not just another book about mountain climbing. From the first chapter till the very end, See it from the Top presents great story telling. It is a detailed, day-by-day account that is sometimes unnerving and sometimes very funny. This is also a book with many careful medical observations and technical improvements that could be useful in sport medicine. Fast-paced and easy to read, Yury's story is a great inspiration for anyone who loves challenge, self-improvement and adventure. A book with many careful medical observations and technical improvements that could be useful in sport medicine." Alexander Golbin, M.D., Ph.D. Medical Director Sleep and Behavior Medicine Institute, Editor in Chief: Sleep and Health journal "Yury's book is a gripping and accurate account of the expedition that captures the difficulties, challenges, joys and fears of our great mountain adventure. Part 3 is especially a good read for anyone contemplating a high altitude alpine climb since it focuses on what it takes to succeed in this rarefied atmosphere." Bill Burke, Eco Expedition 2009, member "Yury is an immensely practical thinker, and the engineer in him is clear to see in this great book. He analyses and explains in detail the step by step process that took him to the summit of Mt. Everest. I call Yury "the Rocket" because of his strength, determination and speed in climbing. I am proud to have played a small part in Yury's great success." Dawa Steven Sherpa, Leader, Eco Everest Expedition, Managing Director of Asian Trekking "Climbing Everest without quitting a day job offers an exceptional and deeply personal look into what it takes to climb Mt. Everest. Not only this book is an easy and interesting read, it motivates you to trust your heart and follow your dreams against all odds."
