100 Chess Exercises with Zugzwang and Zwischenzug - Chess Tactics

Andon Rangelov

Sinossi

This book contains 100 chess puzzles and their solutions, all of which are either zugzwang or zwischenzug tactics. The puzzles are intended for players of intermediate level.

Zugzwang refers to a scenario in which one player is forced to make a move although any move will worsen his position.

Zwischenzug is a tactic in which a player, instead of playing directly anticipated move (usually a recapture), first interposes another move that the opponent must respond to, and then plays the expected move.

Hidden Nature - Wild Southern Caves

Michael Ray Taylor

Reed Environmental Writing Award Finalist, Southern Environmental Law Center, 2021More than ten thousand known caves lie beneath the state of Tennessee according to the Tennessee Cave Survey, a nonprofit organization that catalogs and maps them. Thousands more riddle surrounding states. In Hidden Nature, Michael Ray Taylor tells the story of this vast underground wilderness. In addition to describing the sheer physical majesty of the region’s wild caverns and the concurrent joys and dangers of exploring them, he examines their rich natural history and scientific import, their relationship to clean water and a healthy surface environment, and their uncertain future.As a longtime caver and the author of three popular books related to caving—Cave Passages, Dark Life, and Caves—Taylor enjoys (for a journalist) unusual access to this secretive world. He is personally acquainted with many of the region’s most accomplished cave explorers and scientists, and they in turn are familiar with his popular writing on caves in books; in magazines such as Audubon, Outside, and Sports Illustrated; and on websites such as those of the Discovery Channel and the PBS science series Nova.Hidden Nature is structured as a comprehensive work of well-researched fact that reads like a personal narrative of the author’s long attraction to these caves and the people who dare enter their hidden chambers.

Islands of Scotland

Pat Morgan

The isles of Scotland, each one its own little world with its own distinct nature, form one of the world's most magical attractions.
There are, all told, more than 790 offshore islands scattered round the 6,000 miles of Scotland's coastline. They range from the sizeable, such as Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides, to tiny outcrops of rock that barely seem worthy of the name of island. Most readers will be familiar with the names of the four main groups: Orkney, Shetland, the Inner Hebrides and the Outer Hebrides as well as the smaller groups of islands in the Firth of Forth, on Scotland's east coast, in the Solway Firth to the south-west and in the Firth of Clyde in the west.
Also featured in this new gift book are islands normally off the beaten track such as Benbecula, Colonsay, Eriskay, Great Cumbrae and Jura.
