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.

Squirrel - How a Backyard...

Nancy F. Castaldo

Squirrels are a common sight, seemingly everywhere in wild and urban nature. But squirrels are more than amusing backyard entertainers, and few of us know much about them or fully appreciate their role in keeping the environment healthy. As stress on the natural world intensifies, should we be paying more attention to the plight of squirrels?In Squirrel, Nancy Castaldo shines new light on this familiar backyard mammal, exploring their staggering diversity and the many surprising ways they shape our world, our communities, and our cultures. Each chapter explores an aspect of squirrels and their close and sometimes fraught association with humans: their importance to myriad ecosystems through sophisticated food-caching strategies; their introduction to nineteenth-century urban parks as adorable ambassadors for nature; their complicated global status as both invasive and endangered; their role as celebrated cultural icons and social media memes; and ultimately, why we must prevent population declines and protect their well-being while we can. Like other wildlife species, squirrels are increasingly stressed by climate change, and their speculative fate may foreshadow our own. The book includes a detailed bibliography, an exhaustive list of squirrel species and their status, and tips for coexisting peaceably with squirrels in our yards and neighborhoods.

Quantum God : At the Center of...

Ecnal Ver

A New Way to Think About God
For centuries, people have struggled to bring together faith and science. Religion taught one way. Science often taught another. Quantum God: At the Center of Reality invites you to see both through fresh eyes. This audiobook explores the idea that God is not far away or divided from science, but instead is the very center of all reality.
From Tradition to New Ideas
Part One explains traditional views of God and why religion and science have often seemed in conflict. It then introduces a new perspective, one that does not force you to choose between faith and facts, but instead shows how they can work together.
The Quantum God Revealed
Part Two introduces the Quantum God, described as a unified force that holds everything together. You will hear about evidence for this reality and discover how the Quantum God can be seen even in worship and spiritual practice. The goal is to show that God’s presence is not limited to one place but is active everywhere, in all things.
Practical Ways to Experience the Quantum God
In Part Three, you will learn how this understanding changes daily life. Topics include how prayer and faith connect with quantum healing, how the Quantum God works for the greater good, and how lives intersect in a reality where everything is linked. You will also discover how to see the Quantum God at work in ordinary moments.
God in the Modern World
Part Four brings the message into today’s world. It explains how practicing faith with an awareness of the Quantum God can be a living religious practice. It explores the bridge between faith, quantum physics, and even artificial intelligence. It connects this vision with scripture, humanity, and the vast quantum universe itself.
Why You Will Love this Book
Quantum God is for seekers who want answers that make sense in both science and faith. It offers clarity, hope, and a practical path to live with purpose in a connected universe.

Electro Girl

Lainie Chait

Lainie Chait was diagnosed with epilepsy in 1991 at the age of 19. At the time of diagnosis, there were three roads to go down - avoidance, acceptance or rebellion. Avoidance was her first choice. Falling in the shower, brain jerks and muscle twitches when she was 14 was the beginning of something 'not quite right' about her early teenage years. She hid these symptoms from family and friends for three years in the hope that they were just ‘growing pains’.As she started reaching the age of independence (18 in Australia) and started to drink, stay up late and go out partying, these ‘growing pains’ turned into a seizure condition that could no longer be ignored. Eventually doctors, diagnoses and medicines were brought into the equation.She tried acceptance but at the time it wasn’t the right fit, as the very thought of taming down her young, fun life and replace it with medicine, early nights and mature personal decisions was just too hard to fathom. Rebellion then became her main focus and she achieved this by partying, staying up late and ignoring the triggers. This mindset carried with it an enormous amount of embarrassment and shame. She constantly felt like a failure after each of the 250+ Grand Mal seizures she endured over 25 years. But she wasn’t just rebelling against a diagnosis; she was rebelling against a system that has the capacity to make you feel better but at a price that also keeps you in a place of perpetual illness. She needed to know why she had epilepsy and the only way she was going to find this out was to take herself off all the meds and research it, live it, feel it, document and manage it for herself.She did this much to the horror of her doctors, friends and family. She went on a journey to get to know her brain and what makes it tick and glitch. The journey was about finding out just how much control she did and didn’t have over her seizures.Electro Girl is Lainie Chait's story of resilience, growth and self advocacy.
