Synopsis

'Wild River Runs' offers a comprehensive exploration of white-water rafting that bridges the gap between scientific understanding and practical application. The book masterfully weaves together the complex interactions between mountain river systems and the thrilling sport of rafting, examining everything from basic river classifications to advanced team dynamics in challenging water conditions.

 
Through a careful balance of technical knowledge and hands-on guidance, it reveals how geological formations and water patterns create the various rapid classifications that rafters must navigate. The book stands out for its thorough approach to safety and environmental awareness, presenting the international river classification system (Class I through VI) alongside detailed analyses of safety equipment and protocols.

 
Drawing from extensive hydrology research and documented rafting experiences worldwide, it offers readers unique insights into how factors like water volume, gradient, and obstacle placement determine river difficulty. Particularly valuable is its examination of team dynamics in high-stress environments, supported by real-world case studies from renowned rafting destinations including the Colorado River and Norway's mountain rivers.

 
Progressing from fundamental concepts to advanced applications, the text covers essential topics such as river reading techniques, weather pattern influences, and emergency protocols. What makes this guide especially valuable is its interdisciplinary approach, combining elements of geology, meteorology, and group psychology to create a comprehensive understanding of safe rafting practices. The book maintains its relevance for both novice rafters and experienced professionals by addressing current issues in river conservation while providing practical guidance for trip planning and risk assessment.

    When Emily Halnon lost her beloved mother to a rare uterine cancer at just sixty-six years old, she wanted to do something monumental to honor the person her mother had been. Emily's mom had taken up running in her late forties; she ran her first marathon at fifty. She even went skydiving to celebrate her sixtieth birthday. 
     
     
     
    Emily, already an accomplished ultrarunner, decided to try to break the record for the Fastest Known Time by a woman on the Pacific Crest Trail's 460 miles across Oregon. 
     
     
     
    To the Gorge takes the listener through her seven days, nineteen hours, and twenty-three minutes on the trail, covering nearly sixty miles a day on foot over rugged terrain, and battling all the issues that could arise during such a monstrous undertaking. All the while, she simultaneously struggles with how to get through the profound grief of losing her mom. 
     
     
     
    Interwoven with Halnon's eight-day effort are her remembrances from her mother's life and death, exploring the complicated experience of grief—and what shines through it. 
     
     
     
    Filled with adventure and heart, To the Gorge invites listeners to consider what our greatest losses can teach us about how to live the one life we get.

    Parkour, the art of displacement, or freerunning—whatever the name, this new discipline born in the Paris suburbs is rapidly being adopted by people throughout the world. Not satisfied to suffer through urban life, these athletic artists or artistic athletes want to thrive in it, all the while earning dignity by daringly reappropriating three fundamental motor skills: running, jumping, and climbing. Vincent Thibault explores the philosophical and spiritual aspects of the art of movement and offers ideas on health, sports, urban living, and the relationship between the body and the environment. Reflecting on the culture of effort, he also avoids the misguided notion that depicts parkour as just another of those elitist extreme sports, instead providing a thoughtful, lyrical adventure into martial arts and chivalry in an urban setting.

    Have you already tried a million different diets without success?  
    Are you convinced that you will never lose weight?  
    Have you heard about hypnosis to lose weight and would like to learn more? 
    Hey listen, 
    At this time, I assume that you already realize how powerful your mind is. Have you ever heard that 90% of the disease is related to how your brain and mind work? Exactly, and that's the truth. But that's not the subject I am going to talk about today. 
    Today, we're talking about how to use your mind and empower it to help you get in shape and healthy. And how to make it help you instead of constantly pushing you back… Yes, I am talking about those nights when you feel stressed out, sad, anxious, and the only way to push it away that you know about is to get some chips, hamburger, pizza, or any other fabricated food. 
    Just imagine. How would your life change if you have been "IN CONTROL" of every single action you take – and STRONGER than any craving you may experience? 
    In fact, The 1998 Study by Kirsch showed that utilizing hypnosis plus CBT instead of CBT on it’s own for weight loss yielded nearly double the amount of weight loss. Yes, double! 
    And, another study by Cordi & Rasch stated that after listening to the hypnosis the participants experienced up to 80 percent more slow-wave sleep, which hugely improves the overall quality of your sleep. 
    Keep in mind that you don't have to hire some expensive therapist to make these strategies work for you: inside this book, you'll find the knowledge and tools you need to achieve the results you have always dreamed about! 
    Don’t you think it’s time to start your Hypnosis journey? 
    So don't wait, click on "Buy Now," and Start Living a Fit, Happy, and Joyful Life Just By Using The Power You Already Have Inside You!
