Sinossi

"Blazing Desert Treks" masterfully combines scientific research with practical field experience to create a comprehensive guide for safe and rewarding desert hiking. This authoritative resource explores the delicate balance between human endurance and the demanding conditions of arid environments, offering evidence-based strategies drawn from studies across major desert regions like the Mojave, Sonoran, and Great Basin.

 
The book's unique approach integrates cutting-edge physiological research with traditional navigation techniques, making it invaluable for both experienced hikers and those new to desert environments. The text progresses logically through four main sections, beginning with desert ecosystem dynamics and geological formations before delving into the body's physiological responses to extreme heat.

 
Central to the book's methodology is a three-tier framework focusing on pre-hike acclimatization, active thermal management, and post-trek recovery protocols. The author draws from sports medicine and military training programs to develop practical strategies for thermal regulation and hydration, while incorporating modern GPS technology with time-tested navigation methods.

 
What sets this book apart is its methodical yet accessible presentation of complex concepts, supported by real-world hiking experiences and wilderness rescue data. The content particularly resonates with intermediate to advanced hikers and outdoor educators, offering detailed checklists, monitoring protocols, and personalized assessment tools for heat tolerance and hydration needs.

 
While primarily focused on North American deserts, the principles and strategies presented are applicable to arid environments worldwide, making it an essential resource for anyone planning to explore these challenging landscapes.

The Future of Agriculture

Sarah Bearchell

Record rain fall and extreme climates have become a common occurrence around the world. The television news shows farmers standing in front of their flooded fields; the ground too wet to harvest one season's crop, or to plant the next. Our climate is changing, but agriculture is not just the victim of climate change - it is one of the major drivers too. Our food systems are responsible for around a third of all greenhouse gases.



In this book, Sarah Bearchell explores how agriculture is using targeted breeding, automation and precision inputs to produce more with less. She considers how we can reduce our impact by addressing problems in our food system, from packaging and transport to the incredible quantities of waste. As consumers, we can make small changes straight away and push for long term change in the wider system. Agriculture can become a force for good, but it needs our help.

Among Typhoons And Pirate Craft

Lindsay Anderson

Anderson served as third officer aboard the Eamont. Eamont was an opium clipper built in Cowes. Eamont was involved in the opening of Japan to foreigners in 1858, serving as a dispatch boat between Nagasaki and Shanghai, and was one of the first vessels to open up a trade with Formosa. The Eamont was employed in the negotiations for the first commercial treaty with Japan. On this occasion she ran into Nagasaki and quietly dropped anchor, in spite of the fact that opposition to the proposed commercial treaty was very strong at the time. On the following morning 150 boat-loads of Japanese attempted to tow her to sea, being evidently ignorant of an anchor's raison d'etre. But though they attempted several similar methods to get rid of her they refrained from any armed attack, and, eventually, her mission was completely successful. This was in 1858, and the Eamont's crew saw many wonderful sights in that tierra incognita. The September Typhoon of 1858 destroyed several well-known opium clippers at Double Island, including the Anonyma, Gazelle, Pantaloon, and Mazeppa. Eamont was anchored off Double Island, with "150 fathoms of chain out and a second anchor backed on it at 60 fathoms." The waves in the anchorage were estimated to be as large as 40 feet, and the Eamont’s crew had to cut away her masts. Eamont was one of only two ships in that anchorage to survive the night, the other being the Hazard. (See Wikipedia article on Eamont (schooner)) ( wikipedia and david wales)

Saving Ryan - The 30-Year...

Emil D Kakkis

Saving Ryan is the inspiring story by physician-scientist Dr. Emil Kakkis about his journey to develop a new, first-ever treatment for an ultra-rare genetic disease called MPS. The scientist had great challenges getting grant and industry support for this rare disease despite the solid science behind doing the treatment. Simultaneously across the country, Mark Dant was in a quest to save his 9-year-old son, Ryan, afflicted by MPS for which there was no cure. Through extraordinary persistence, and with a clock-ticking on Ryan’s declining health, Mr. Dant eventually learns of Dr. Kakkis and his work, whose enzyme replacement therapy could potentially treat Ryan successfully. With renewed hope of saving his son’s life, Mr. Dant turns his attention to fundraising through his own Ryan Foundation to support the continued development of the life-saving treatment. Through an extraordinary series of obstacles and heartaches, Dr. Kakkis develops a successful treatment and ultimately gains the required support of a biotech company to complete the project. Despite early success treating MPS patients, the FDA’s abruptly changing policies caused great uncertainty as to whether the therapy would ever get approved – leading to a dramatic showdown at an FDA Advisory Committee meeting.
