Beschreibung

"Wild Canyon Rafts" presents a comprehensive exploration of white-water rafting that masterfully bridges the gap between scientific understanding and practical application. At its core, the book tackles the essential challenge of balancing thrilling adventure with calculated risk management, drawing from an impressive decade of flow data and thirty years of incident reports from major rafting destinations. The book's unique strength lies in its systematic approach to river navigation, progressing from fundamental concepts to advanced techniques. Readers journey through carefully structured chapters that combine hydraulic pattern recognition, equipment protocols, and team coordination strategies. What sets this guide apart is its integration of multiple disciplines, including fluid dynamics, meteorology, and sports medicine, providing a holistic view of rafting operations that serves both professional guides and dedicated enthusiasts. Throughout the text, real-world applications take center stage through detailed case studies and practical protocols, making complex concepts accessible without sacrificing technical accuracy. The book's data-driven methodology, incorporating GPS mapping and underwater topography studies, offers readers concrete tools for understanding river mechanics and safety procedures. While focusing primarily on North American and European river systems, it delivers invaluable insights for anyone serious about mastering white-water rafting, from pre-launch safety briefings to emergency scenario responses.

    An inspirational an amazing memoir about a woman who gave up everything she knew to start her own camel saddlery and do a camel trek across the Australian Outback. 
     
    In April 2020, as the world began to lock down due to Covid-19, Sophie began her own form of extreme social distancing. From April 2020 - December 2021 she walked with her five camels from the most westerly point of Australia to the most easterly, with a six-month break in Coober Pedy when the conditions grew too hot to continue. 
     Along the way she met hundreds of kind strangers - she required permission to cross every single piece of land, and often they'd make the effort to meet her with additional supplies to support her journey. The red dirt of the outback seeped into her pores and her appreciation for the beauty of Country and the ways we can observe and better understand its subtle changes only grew as she walked.  
    She sometimes went weeks at a time without seeing a soul due to the movement restrictions in place for Covid-19 prevention in Central Australia. Halfway through the trek, she fell in love with a baker called Jimmy in the Flinders Ranges: some of their first dates involved him driving her to drop-off points, and delivering food and supplies every four or so weeks. Jimmy walked the final section of the journey with her, marshalling traffic to allow Sophie and the camels to cross roads and highways as they drew closer to the coast.

    Most people only consider the Mississippi River when they cross it or when it inconveniently abandons its banks. But every year, millions of tons of cargo are transported by towboats on the river. In Peep Light, Captain Lee Hendrix provides unique insight on people who work and live on and near the Mississippi River. Hendrix, formerly a pilot for the Delta Queen Steamboat Co., has worked on the Mississippi for fifty years. In 2014, Hendrix became captain of the towboat Mississippi with the US Army Corps of Engineers, then he later retired to return to passenger vessels. For Hendrix and others like him, he is at home on the river, living and dining with the same people they work with, working with familiar faces for years at a time and yet meeting new people every day. 
     
     
     
    Demonstrating a fascination not only with the river but also with the passions and dreams of those who live and work on it, these stories range from personal reflections on aging, experiencing one's first night on the river and the complex emotions that come with it, working on the deck, promotion to pilot, the characters working aboard these boats, and the history of the river itself. Peep Light unites humans with the river through engaging storytelling and sheds light on Hendrix's rare experience along one of the most powerful and important waterways in the world.
