Summary

"If you breathe and have a pulse, you NEED this book." -Cody Lundin Cody  Lundin, director of the Aboriginal Living Skills School in Prescott,  Arizona, shares his own brand of wilderness wisdom in this highly  anticipated new book on commonsense, modern survival skills for the  backcountry, the backyard, or the highway. It is the ultimate book on  how to stay alive-based on the principal of keeping the body's core  temperature at a lively 98.6 degrees. In his entertaining and  informative style, Cody stresses that a human can live without food for  weeks, and without water for about three days or so. But if the body's  core temperature dips much below or above the 98.6 degree mark, a person  can literally die within hours. It is a concept that many don't take  seriously or even consider, but knowing what to do to maintain a safe  core temperature when lost in a blizzard or in the desert could save  your life. Lundin delivers the message with wit, rebellious humor, and  plenty of backcountry expertise. Cody Lundin and his Aboriginal  Living Skills School have been featured in dozens of national and  international media sources, including Dateline NBC, CBS News, USA  Today, The Donny and Marie Show, and CBC Radio One in Canada, as well as  on the cover of Backpacker magazine. When not teaching for his own  school, he is an adjunct faculty member at Yavapai College and a faculty  member at the Ecosa Institute. Cody is the only person in Arizona  licensed to catch fish with his hands, and lives in a passive solar  earth home sixty miles from Prescott, Arizona.

    For all those who love boats, their 'lines' are an essential element in the appreciation of individual craft. But what are these lines and how are they created? This book introduces the reader to the key principles of yacht design in a straightforward and understandable manner, allowing them to be aware of the elements and processes involved. Most of the complex maths has been replaced with simple rules of thumb. Any boat owner will benefit from understanding the characteristics of boat design which will help them if they want to modify the hull, rig, deck layout or accommodation. It will be equally useful to boat buyers who want to ask questions like: "How will she sail?"; "How much will she cost?"; "How easy is it to change things?" and "How can I reduce or increase sail area without upsetting the balance?" Boat owners and buyers will be able to feel more confident when talking to designers and boatbuilders about their current or future boat. While novice boat designers can start their journey with this book, giving them a good foundation whether they want to use pencil and paper or Computer-Aided Design. So, if you are any of the above, or simply have an interest in yacht design, this is the book for you!

As one of the most widely read and listened-to sports journalists in the Midwest for over half a century, Sid’s impact has been felt by fans from all walks of life, including renowned figures such as Tom Brokaw and Walter Mondale, who called Sid “one of America’s hardest-working, most widely read sportswriters.”

This updated edition includes Sid’s reminiscences on the past decade of Minnesota sports, including the resurgent Twins, the rocky Vikings, and his always-beloved Gophers.

    Michael Clayton has enjoyed a fascinating career as a professional journalist on Fleet Street – but the highlight of his career was his work as a editor and journalist in the field of horses, and with hunting horses in particular.
    
    This is his autobiography in horses: his boyhood work in local stables, his first post as a cub reporter, leading eventually to his appointment as editor of Horse and Hound magazine.
    
    Here he talks frankly about his involvement with the Royal family and their horses, his roving hunting brief, the development of new safety standards in riding, and all the key characters of the equine world whom he got to know first-hand. He worked as a reporter of horse-racing, show-jumping, carriage driving (disastrous!) and with almost all the hunts of Britain, Ireland and the USA. Michael also recalls the time of the hunting ban, among other key moments. 
    
    His account, with photographs, is witty, incisive, pacey and very frank.
