Sinopsis

Avalanche Survival is a crucial guide for anyone venturing into avalanche terrain, focusing on proactive education and informed decision-making to mitigate risks. The book emphasizes understanding snowpack instability, exploring factors like snow layering and temperature gradients that contribute to avalanche formation. A key insight is the integration of meteorology, geology, and human behavior, highlighting how weather patterns, terrain features, and decision-making processes intertwine to influence avalanche risk. Equally important is mastering avalanche rescue techniques. The book provides detailed instructions on using essential gear such as transceivers, probes, and shovels, and outlines effective search and extrication strategies. By examining case studies of past avalanche disasters, the book underscores the human element in decision-making and offers critical lessons for preventing future tragedies.

 
Avalanche Survival progresses from basic snow science and terrain analysis to snowpack assessment and rescue procedures, reinforcing theoretical concepts with practical scenarios. The book uniquely combines rigorous scientific explanations with hands-on instruction, going beyond simple facts to emphasize critical thinking and proactive safety measures. This approach ensures readers can translate knowledge into action, making informed decisions and conducting effective rescues in high-stakes environments.

    When Dr. Ian Dunbar introduced his SIRIUS® Puppy Training in 1982, dog training mostly comprised punishing adult dogs for bad habits and lack of compliance. Dunbar focused on verbally cuing and creatively luring to achieve desirable behavior and using "life rewards"—sniffing, walking, play with dogs, and interactive games—to reinforce speedy compliance and good habits from the outset. His "dog's point of view" approach revolutionized the field, and today there are few trainers who have not been strongly influenced by it. 
     
     
     
    While positive reinforcement is now widely adopted, this new book details how other reward-training techniques have strayed from Dunbar's original, quick and easy, highly effective lure-reward approach for teaching dogs ESL, in which we can verbally cue specific responses, offer heartfelt praise for success, and give guidance when dogs err. With Dunbar's method, we can teach dogs when and where to eliminate, what to chew, when and for how long to bark, and when and how to appropriately let off steam. 
     
     
     
    Barking Up the Right Tree offers proof that aversive punishment seldom works to eliminate undesirable behavior or to get the dog back on track. Dunbar presents numerous nonaversive yet highly effective solutions for misbehavior and noncompliance—simply by using the words you teach, and without even raising your voice.
