Erik Weihenmayer
On May 25, 2001, Erik Weihenmayer became the first blind person to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. In 2008 he climbed Carstensz Pyramid on the island of Papua New Guinea, completing the Seven Summits, the highest point on every continent. This accomplishment closed the circuit on a 13-year journey that had begun with his 1995 ascent of Denali. He is joined by a select company of only 150 mountaineers to have accomplished the feat.

Steve McIntosh will speak about and sign Truth Emerging: A Developmental Philosophy of Purpose and Progress, on Tuesday, November 17th at 6:30pm, at the Boulder Bookstore. Tickets for this event are $5 (plus a small processing fee) and are available on Eventbrite HERE.About the Book:Recent breakthroughs in science and philosophy are beginning to disclose the deeper meanings behind our evolving universe. As Steve McIntosh argues, this emerging understanding of nature and history reveals humanity's higher purpose: to further human evolution by fostering the spiritual growth of people, the cultural growth of civilization, and the maturation of our relationship with nature.In response to the gloomy zeitgeist of our time, Truth Emerging provides a renewed vision of purpose and progress. This counter-cultural message of hope and courage can help us rediscover philosophy's power to bring about positive social change.Written in two parts, Questions and Commentary, the book addresses twenty vital questions for developmental philosophy with brief, accessible answers before expanding upon each answer with commentary that delves into the deeper dimensions of this philosophy of evolution.IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATIONTickets are $5 (plus a small processing fee).A coupon good for $5 off a copy of Truth Emerging, or a purchase on the day of the event is included with your ticket. You will receive this coupon at the event.Please note: our events are held on the second floor. To request a reasonable accommodation or discuss your needs, contact events@boulderbookstore.com
