Sinopsis

"Paragliding Dreams" offers a captivating journey through the evolution of paragliding, from its humble beginnings in the 1960s Alpine slopes to its current status as a sophisticated aerial sport. The book masterfully weaves together technical knowledge with human experience, exploring how the adaptation of parachute technology, advances in wing design, and the development of comprehensive safety protocols transformed paragliding into an accessible adventure sport enjoyed by thousands worldwide.

 
Through three well-structured sections, the narrative explores the technical and historical foundations of paragliding while making complex concepts approachable for general readers. The book's unique strength lies in its ability to present scientific principles through real-world flight experiences, connecting aerodynamics and meteorology to practical applications. Readers gain valuable insights into crucial aspects like weather pattern analysis, equipment evolution, and the psychological components of aerial navigation, all supported by authentic accounts from pioneers, competitive pilots, and instructors.

 
What sets this comprehensive guide apart is its balanced approach to addressing both the technical and human elements of the sport. While serving as an authoritative resource for aspiring and current pilots, it maintains broad appeal by examining global training approaches, safety considerations, and ongoing debates within the paragliding community. The integration of historical documentation with practical instruction creates an engaging narrative that speaks to both aviation enthusiasts and those fascinated by human achievement in extreme sports.

  • Together We Can - 33 Marathons in 26 Days A Run to Remember so we never forget - cover

    Together We Can - 33 Marathons...

    Peter Baines OAM

    Together We Can is the inspiring story of an amazing feat. On 1st of December 2024, at the age of 58, Peter Baines set off in the extreme heat and humidity from the north of Thailand to run 1400km over 26 days, averaging 60kms per day. Peter's goal was to raise $1 million. Peter Baines had been a leading forensic investigator with the NSW Police before he was deployed to Bali in 2002 after the bombings, and then to Thailand after the Boxing Day tsunami. It was during the aftermath of the tsunami that Peter started the Hands Across the Water charity. The biggest impact upon Peter during his work in Thailand was meeting a group of Thai children orphaned by the tsunami. Returning to Australia, Baines made a commitment to support these 32 children who were living in the tent in the grounds of a Buddhist temple. The initial objective of the Hands Across the Water was to build a home for these children, and it was this first home that marked the finishing line of the Run to Remember, exactly 20 years to the day of the tsunami. Together We Can is not a story of one man s 20-year commitment to children and communities in need. Nor is it simply a story of physical achievement the likes of which many simply cannot comprehend. It is the celebration of what can be achieved together. It is the celebration of the best of humanity, through what were often the most difficult times.One of the main learnings from this incredible feat of endurance (running the equivalent of 33 marathons in 26 days) was that although Peter was the only person who completed the run, it took a team to get him across the finishing line. The lessons are invaluable for businesses, organisations and sports teams and it is these lessons that remain with Peter (and hopefully the reader) long after the blisters have healed.

    Today’s business leaders are always on the lookout for the information and tools to help them build high-performing teams, to lead with purpose, to remain engaged and to win the long game. Authors Sébastien Sasseville and Gabriel Renaud masterfully transform the lessons learned in the mind-blowing Race Across America into concrete, actionable and relatable business insights.
    		 
    When Sébastien Sasseville, an athlete with type 1 diabetes, decided to take part in the Race Across America solo, he knew he was embarking on the most difficult ultra-cycling race in the world. What he didn’t realize was that this experience, and the work needed to be done ahead of it, would inform his thinking around a team-building model that had application beyond sports and deep into workplaces and boardrooms.
    		 
    This crossing of the United States from west to east, in a time trial of no more than 12 days, forces the riders to stay in the saddle for about 21 hours a day. The challenge is impossible to accomplish without an exceptional team that follows and supports the cyclist night and day.
    		 
    Together, Sébastien and co-author Gabriel Renaud, a high-performance athlete, corporate trainer and leader of the race team, have taken the model they used to build the Race Across America team and written Building Unstoppable Teams, a tool kit for building highly engaged teams that can accomplish the exceptional.
