The Book Of Nothing

About this ebook
An inspirational book for budding authors who have yet to let their fingers fly across the keyboard, or dip plume into ink, but yet who have a burning desire to turn their thoughts into words and influence the world. The author has allowed voids to encourage the potent and powerful creative urges to spring forth from the fertile minds of his readers, although there's a good deal of useful starting advice for the would-be writer too, with examples of some great works. Nowhere else will the reader find a book that allows such adventurous and exciting pauses, and nowhere else will the desire to write be more enhanced and nurtured!
John Porter
John Porter was born in Massachusetts and he started climbing at the age of twelve, serving his apprenticeship in the White Mountains, Rockies, Cascades and Yosemite. He moved to the UK in the early 1970s to do postgraduate work at Leeds University where he joined a team of climbers dedicated to clean ethics, alpine-style and the fostering of international partnerships. Ascents of the North Face of Koh-i-Bandaka (1977) and the south face of Changabang (1978) with Alex MacIntyre and Polish friends were achieved in the middle of the cold war. Other climbs include lightweight attempts of the west ridge of Everest in winter, the north-west ridge of K2, the east face of Sepu Kangri, first ascents of Chong Kundam I and V in the Eastern Karakoram, and many other notable climbs around the world over a period of fifty-five years. In 1980 he founded the Kendal Mountain Festival with Brian Hall and Jim Curran, and in 2011 he and Brian founded the online adventure film website SteepEdge. John lives in the Cumbrian Lake District working as a consultant in the energy sector. He is a vice president of the Alpine Club and has previously been a vice president of the British Mountaineering Council and secretary to the Mountain Heritage Trust.
