  Illustrates how, against the peaks of Mt Everest, avalanches, and Incan cities, the travelers' storytelling becomes an inherently social drama of shared knowledge, values, hierarchy, and aesthetics. Based on forty-five in-depth narrative interviews, this book examines how identities and a sense of belonging emerge on different social levels.
