  The inspiring classic on the virtues of embracing the great outdoors from the nationally bestselling author of The Dog Who Came to Stay. 
   
   
   
  Over the course of his career, Hal Borland wrote eight nature books and hundreds of "outdoor editorials" for the Sunday New York Times, extolling the virtues of the countryside. From his home on one hundred acres in rural Connecticut, Borland wrote of the natural wonders, both big and small, that surrounded him every day. Beyond Your Doorstep is his guide to venturing into the outdoors around your home, wherever it is, and discovering the countryside within reach. 
   
   
   
  The beauty to be found in roadsides, meadows, woodlands, and bogs are explored in elegant prose. Borland takes up birds, animals, and plants—both edible and poisonous—and the miraculous ways in which they are threaded together throughout the natural world. Part introductory field guide and part incitement to exploration, Beyond Your Doorstep is a classic of nature writing and a must-listen for anyone looking to renew his or her relationship to the outdoors.

  'I want absolutely nothing to do with this book.' – Owen Farrell  
  THREE RUGBY MEGASTARS. 
  ONE EPIC BOOK.

  'I have no idea how this book deal was signed, but in the spirit of GBR -"Once in, all in"' – MIKE TINDALL 
  Among the key questions answered are:What happened when Mike took their shambles of a podcast inside the walls of Windsor Castle to meet the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Princess Royal?How did James end up nearly killing himself on the way to the DJ set, find himself forced to save Payno from Tins and get confronted by irate fan?Why did Alex's broadcasting career sink to such depressing depths? And will it ever recover? (Spoiler alert – it won't.) 
  In this epically no-holds-barred book, all three of them go behind the scenes of the hugely successful podcast, pulling back the curtain to reveal their most outrageous antics on tour – the ups, the downs and the sideways – and leaving no story untold.

  Airport Firefighting Command and...

  In an environment where aircraft move with split-second precision… and hundreds of systems operate simultaneously… maintaining command and control becomes the true weapon that protects the airport from chaos the moment a fire breaks out. 
  Airport firefighting is not just water and foam… nor is it only advanced equipment or modern fire trucks. It is a complete leadership system that begins with the mind directing the incident, passes through the command unit that allocates resources, and reaches a response team that knows exactly what to do, where to move, and when to intervene. 
  In this introduction, we step together into a different world… the world of sovereign fire leadership inside the airport — a place where confusion is not allowed, hesitation is unacceptable, and mistakes never get a second chance. 
  In this program, you will learn: 
  How the command and control system is built inside the airport. 
  How the commander receives information and instantly transforms it into decisive action. 
  How operations rooms, control towers, and firefighting teams function as a single unit. 
  How resources are directed, communications are organized, and the golden time of the incident is managed. 
  And how a crisis is controlled in one of the most sensitive environments on earth: a space where aircraft, passengers, fuel, and critical infrastructure all converge. 
  You will explore global models of incident management — ICS, NIMS — and modern command systems used in high-density airports. 
  You will learn how the fire commander thinks in the moment of truth, and how a firefighting plan moves from paper… to precise execution on the ground.
