Fallen Giants : A History of Himalayan Mountaineering from the Age of Empire to the Age of Extremes, a book co-authored by James L. Ferguson Professor of History Maurice Isserman and University of Rochester Professor Stewart Weaver, was included in a list of recommended books for the sports enthusiast by the St. Petersburg Times. Reporter Tom Jones wrote, "Isserman and Weaver, through painstaking research, detail many other pioneers in Himalayan mountain climbing, including never-before-heard-of expeditions from the late 1800s. Not only do Isserman and Weaver provide the details of the climbs, they analyze how each expedition changed mountaineering."
Jones closed his description of the book with, "This isn't a book just for climbers; it's for anyone who loves adventure stories." "Give Sports Gifts by the Book" appeared in the Dec. 19 issues of the paper.
