Sinossi

"Improvised Tools" is a groundbreaking guide that bridges the gap between survival needs and engineering principles, teaching readers how to create functional tools from available materials in challenging situations. The book uniquely combines technical knowledge with practical application, making complex engineering concepts accessible to readers of all backgrounds while maintaining scientific accuracy.

 
Through a systematic approach, it covers essential aspects of tool improvisation, from basic material science to advanced mechanical principles. The content progresses logically, beginning with fundamental material identification and assessment before advancing to engineering principles and specific tool-making techniques.

 
Drawing from diverse sources, including military field engineering, archaeological records, and indigenous technologies, the book presents validated methods for creating everything from simple hand tools to intermediate mechanical devices. Each chapter includes practical exercises and detailed safety considerations, allowing readers to build confidence through hands-on experience.

 
What sets this work apart is its comprehensive integration of multiple disciplines, including materials science, mechanical engineering, and environmental science, all presented through the lens of practical survival applications. The book's approach balances technical precision with real-world usability, making it valuable for both emergency preparedness enthusiasts and engineering students.

 
Through detailed technical illustrations, material property tables, and step-by-step construction guides, readers gain both theoretical understanding and practical skills essential for tool improvisation in resource-limited environments.

The Only Kayak - A Journey Into...

Kim Heacox

Winner of the 2020 National Outdoor Book Award for Outdoor Classic! 
 
 
 
In this coming-of-middle-age memoir, Kim Heacox, writing in the tradition of Abbey, McPhee, and Thoreau, discovers an Alaska reborn from beneath a massive glacier, where flowers emerge from boulders, moose swim fjords, and bears cross crevasses with Homeric resolve. In such a place Heacox finds that people are reborn too, and their lives begin anew with incredible journeys, epiphanies, and successes. All in an America free of crass commercialism and overdevelopment. 
 
 
 
Braided through the larger story are tales of gold prospectors and the cabin they built sixty years ago; John Muir and his intrepid terrier, Stickeen; and a dynamic geology professor who teaches earth science "as if every day were a geological epoch." 
 
 
 
Nearly two million people come to Alaska every summer, some on large cruise ships, some in single kayaks—all in search of the last great wilderness, the Africa of America. It is exactly the America Heacox finds in this story of paradox, love, and loss.

Secret Life of the City - How...

Hanna Hagen Bjørgaas

Come along on an informative, whirlwind tour of urban species and discover that you are surrounded by wild nature, even in your own backyard. 
 
 
 
When biologist Hanna Bjørgaas spots a fairy cup lichen in Antarctica, she is surprised to recognize it from her own backyard in Oslo. When she returns home, she embarks on a journey into urban nature, visiting city parks, cemeteries, and concrete rooftops to investigate the species that live in urban spaces. Along the way, she meets corvids, songbirds, ants, pigeons, bats, sparrows, fungi, and linden trees—and the experts who study their surprising abilities to survive, and thrive, in the city. 
 
 
 
As Bjørgaas discovers, urban nature—and its unique mixture of species that have never lived together before in Earth's history—is valuable. More than half of the world's human population lives in densely populated areas—and plants and animals have followed us into cities. Secret Life of the City invites us to pay more attention to the sounds, sights, and smells of urban nature right outside our door. 
 
 
 
A treasure trove of fascinating flora and fauna, this wonderful book offers a plea to save our city plants, animals, and fungi before we lose them, too.
