  Geoffrey Childs, born in 1946, sketches this fictional scene: When a pair of climbers does not return, two sets of rescuers set out--one for experience, and the other one to save friends. In the aftermath of the event, the motives and feelings are just as divided. This selection is part of the full length audiobook, "Rescue: Stories of Survival From Land and Sea." 
   
  Geoff is Professor of Anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis who studies demographic processes and sociocultural change across the Himalayan region. Having abandoned a normal career path for a life of climbing and worldwide adventure, baby boomer Geof Childs finds himself at middle age putting on the gray suit of ambition in order to support his wife and child. Yet he soon discovers that though he had abandoned climbing and adventure, they had not abandoned him. 
   
  David Elias works extensively in voice-overs. His television credits include "Homicide", and he has been seen in films such as "Runaway Bride" and "Deep Impact". With his group Live Ethics, he performs nationwide in ethics training seminars for a variety of professions.

  From the director of the wildly popular Bush Mechanics and Black As - a can-do guide for your next outback adventure filled with practical advice, ripper yarns and road-trip tips. 
    
  Driving around Australia is one of life's biggest adventures, if you're crazy enough to do it. But as anyone who has broken down on the Nullarbor can attest, it's nerve-wracking to head out into the big red. 
  David Batty knows how to get out of hairy situations because he's wound up in a bunch himself. From nearly being washed away by flash floods in the Kimberley to being marooned on an island in the Top End eating stingray, Batty's Bush Bible is chock-full of yarns from David's four decades as a film director in the most remote regions of Australia. He has lived in Alice Springs and Broome longer than he has in the Big Smoke, has traversed the Tanami Track between Alice Springs and Darwin hundreds of times and reckons he's done more laps of Australia than a Qantas plane. 
  This book also contains the wisdom of many of the First Nations people he has worked with throughout his career, including interviews with the original Bush Mechanics and Black As boys. You'll find out how they stuff blown tyres with spinifex, fashion mulga wood into gear sticks and keep cars going long after their used-by date - and learn how to have a whirl yourself. 
  Batty's Bush Bible is your guide to going bush and living to tell the tale. Filled with practical advice, ripper yarns and road-trip tips, it's designed to be picked up, put down, tossed in the glove box or, if you really need it, used for kindling to cook your tailgate dinner. So whether you're a grey nomad, living your best #vanlife or just looking to do a bit of imaginative armchair tourism, this book is your bible for how to stay out of trouble in the outback - and make your own.

  This book is about fighting, learning and studying people. 
  It’s sports psychology applied. It's about personal growth through sports, based on my training in different striking and grappling disciplines for 30 years. 
  Some say you can learn more life lessons from martial arts than from documentaries and journalists’ reports.Why fight and what can I get from it? How much effort is it worth?Can I become better and fulfilled through fighting?How to learn combat efficiently? Which martial arts are currently martial and which have become just an art?How can my insecurities be related to my need to fight? How being an adrenaline junkie and my ego can harm me and others?Why are there so many weird guys in the gyms? Where are the true sensei?What can meditation techniques have to do with all this? 
  It’s for people looking in martial arts for something more than the primitive pounding, who feel that they should be about something other than “ripping the opponent's head off”. 
  This book should serve as a shortcut for not wasting your time and health on some people. Instead, I hope you will take care of sensible self-improvement, both physically and mentally – for yourself and for others. It's about mindfulness plus willpower. 
  I don’t like to fight. But I dislike aggressors and abusers even more. I’ve been doing it all these years cause I wanted to learn all dimensions of combat and self-defense. I haven’t become enlightened thanks to this, and I still can’t levitate. And I don’t think just fighting people makes you much wiser. It is about mindfulness plus willpower. It is up to us to educate ourselves.

  Golf is a very hard game to play..."der" everyone knows that. It's also a very technical game and it produces more than its fair share of temper tantrums, self-abuse, expletives and a vast array of emotions. 
  These things can dramatically impact on your game and ultimately your score. 
  So, how do you deal with it? 
  5 Irons Don't Float is written from a golfer's perspective and looks at the more common elements of anger that severely interfere with the game. If you abuse yourself during play, yell, scream, swear like a trooper, throw clubs or allow emotion to spiral out of control, then how can you possibly play well? 
  And, it's a habit...you let this happen, perhaps unknowingly but it was your choice to be a grumpy player. So, let's break that habit today!

  Running is more than just putting one foot in front of the other at a faster pace. It is a complex interplay of biomechanics, physiology, psychology, and culture. It is a pursuit that spans continents and centuries, from the endurance hunters of our ancient ancestors to the elite athletes of today's ultramarathons. 
    
  But running is not just a science—it is an art. It is an expression of the human spirit, a celebration of movement, and a connection to the world around us. It is a canvas upon which we paint our goals, our fears, and our triumphs. 
    
  In this book, we will delve into the science behind running: the mechanics of stride, the physiology of endurance, and the psychology of performance. We will explore the latest research and practical insights to help you optimize your training, prevent injury, and achieve your running goals. 
    
  But we will also celebrate the artistry of running: the beauty of a sunrise run, the camaraderie of a group workout, and the satisfaction of pushing past your limits. We will share stories of inspiration and perseverance, reminding you that running is not just about crossing the finish line, but about the journey along the way.
