Sinopse

Avalanche Path Dangers provides essential knowledge for anyone venturing into mountainous terrain, focusing on avalanche safety through understanding avalanche formation and effective terrain assessment. A key insight is that avalanche accidents are often preventable with the right knowledge, careful planning, and informed risk assessment. The book argues that human error, stemming from a lack of understanding, is a major factor in incidents. Slab avalanches, the type most commonly associated with accidents, receive particular attention.

 
The book begins by establishing a scientific foundation, explaining the physics of snow and mechanics of avalanche formation. It then progresses through in-depth discussions of terrain analysis, weather forecasting, and snowpack evaluation techniques, providing practical tools for decision-making in avalanche terrain. Combining field observations, scientific research, and case studies, it emphasizes the human element, exploring cognitive biases and psychological factors that influence judgment. The book's approach is both theoretical and practical, using visual aids and real-world examples to enhance comprehension. It distinguishes itself by focusing on decision-making processes and empowering readers with actionable knowledge for trip planning, route selection, and snowpack evaluation, making it invaluable for backcountry enthusiasts and professionals alike.

An essential guide to one of the world's most remarkable, and often misunderstood, cities by the author of Why the Dutch Are Different. 
 
 
 
When Ben Coates injures his leg and needs to rebuild his strength by walking, he finds himself presented with an exciting opportunity: to rediscover the city he has been working in for over a decade, at a slower pace. He devises ten walks, each demonstrating a different chapter of Amsterdam's history, from its humble beginnings in the early 1200s as a small fishing community through two Golden Ages, fueled by the growth of the Dutch colonial empire, two world wars, and countless reinventions. 
 
 
 
Join Coates as he meanders past beautiful townhouses and glittering canals, dances at Pride celebrations, witnesses the King's apology at Keti Koti, attends a WW2 memorial, gets high at a coffee shop, walks through the red-light district, and gazes in awe at Rembrandt paintings, all the while illuminating modern Amsterdam by explaining its past. 
 
 
 
Blending travelogue and quirky history, The Invention of Amsterdam is an entertaining and sharply observed portrait of a fascinating and complicated city.

Demonic Dolls - True Tales of...

John Harker

Can dolls really become haunted? Can demons take possession of people’s playthings? According to many paranormal investigators, exorcists, and demonologists, the answer is yes. Not only are such phenomena possible, they happen often, with dolls among the most frequent targets of spirit attachment. Sometimes those spirits are benign or merely mischievous. But many are outright evil and dangerous.

This newly revised and expanded edition of Demonic Dolls examines some of the world’s most famous haunted dolls. It includes updates on documented cases and introduces five new dolls and their disturbing histories.

Here is some of what you’ll find inside:

Robert, the haunted doll from Key West. Much of the information about him is wrong. Discover the truth behind the legend—and it’s no less terrifying.

Annabelle, the demonic doll featured in The Conjuring and Annabelle. The real Annabelle is far more frightening.

Peggy, the Internet sensation. Why you should think twice before looking at her picture.

Elizabeth, a Victorian bridal beauty known as “England’s most haunted doll.” Be especially careful visiting her if you’re a man.

Discover which exotic tourist attraction is a pediophobe’s worst nightmare. You won’t believe it exists.

Clown dolls. Need more be said?

These stories and more fill this collection of true accounts from the world of haunted, possessed, and cursed dolls. This book may raise more questions than it answers, but one thing is certain: you’ll never look at a doll the same way again.
