N2  - "Sir Ranulph Fiennes has climbed the Eiger and Mount 
       Everest. He's crossed both Poles on foot. He's been a 
       member of the SAS and fought a bloody guerrilla war in 
       Oman. And yet he confesses that his fear of heights is so 
       great that he'd rather send his wife up a ladder to clean 
       the gutters than do it himself. In Fear, the world's 
       greatest explorer delves into his own experiences to try 
       and explain what fear is, how it happens and how he's 
       overcome it so successfully. He examines key moments from 
       history where fear played an important part in the outcome
       of a great event. He shows us how the brain perceives fear,
       how that manifests itself in us, and how we can transform 
       our perceptions. With an enthralling combination of story-
       telling, research and personal accounts of his own 
       struggles to overcome fear, Sir Ranulph Fiennes sheds new 
       light on one of humanity's strongest emotions."--Back
