  What does retirement mean to you? 
  Do you feel you’ve seen enough of the world? 
  As you approach this later stage in life, the thought of travel can feel beyond intimidating—especially for those of us handling chronic medical conditions. 
  In What If . . . ?, author Roberta Sawatzky highlights the importance of seizing the day when it comes to seeing the world, even and especially as one approaches retirement age. She recounts her personal experience taking a study leave to travel Europe with her husband, focusing on the seven months they spent living in Portugal and Spain as she completed research on leadership in remote and hybrid teams. In a dramatic turn, her husband is diagnosed with end stage renal failure while they are preparing for their trip, resulting in them travelling with a dialysis machine, among other medical supplies. 
  Despite this and other challenges, from language barriers to locating medical services, Sawatzky and her husband immerse themselves thoroughly in the enriching experience of long-term travel, reaping the benefits of an expanded perspective and deeper self-belief for a long time to come. 
  In the end, What If . . . ? testifies to the importance of rising to the challenges you meet in realizing your travel dreams—especially as you reach this next stage of life—and just how vital it is not to let anything stop you.

  Global warming, loss of biodiversity, and toxic chemicals are undermining the ability of the planet to support complex life. Routinely overlooked in causing our current predicament is that several million years of evolution has predisposed Homo sapiens, both anatomically and behaviorally, to vanishing.A former endangered species biologist looks at the ongoing sixth mass extinction through the prism of human behavior, personal experience, ecology, evolutionary biology, and contemporary conservation efforts. He provides new insights into factors triggering the current mass extinction event and examines conventional wisdom regarding human intelligence. The author suggests—as humanity edges ever closer to disappearing forever—a clear-eyed, real-world rationale for resignation but also acceptance.Foreward by Sue Coulstock; Foreward narrated by Heather Henderson

  Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 -...

  Over 130 years ago, mountaineer Sir Hugh Munro published the first list of Munros – Scottish mountains with a height over 3,000 feet – and inspired the hobby of Munro 'bagging', a pastime which combines rugged adventure on a personal and literal journey around the Scottish Highlands with a nerdy compulsion to maintain a ticklist.
  Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 by Nicola Hardy (Munroist number 6,765) features 64 routes designed to link up the 141 most southerly Munros so you can enjoy the challenge of 'compleating' them at your own pace – over years, months or, in rare cases, even just a few weeks. It presents not only the most efficient routes, but does so in such a way that each route is a fantastic walk or run in its own right. The featured routes include the iconic Ring of Steall and Ben Nevis via the Carn Mòr Dearg Arête, alongside classic entry-level walks up the likes of Ben Chonzie, Ben Lomond in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and Mount Keen in the Cairngorms.
  To assist you in building an itinerary, the routes are split into ten Highland hubs which include Glencoe, Fort William, Braemar and Pitlochry. These are chosen to be easy to access and with decent public transport links to help you make environmentally sustainable choices when you can. Base yourself in a Highland hub for a long weekend or a lengthier stay, springboard to Munro routes from each hub and return to access the recommended local facilities including shops, pubs and cafes.
  In addition, the book is packed with useful information, including 1:40,000 scale maps, elevation profiles, route directions, public transport and parking details, refreshments, downloadable GPX files for each route, and custom timings for walkers, trekkers, fastpackers and runners. Along with stunning photography, there are rest day suggestions, accommodation ideas to suit multiple budgets and a series of supportive indices through which you can find suitable walks, whatever your current level of hillwalking experience.
  Whatever your timescale for compleating Scotland's Munros, Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 is the indispensable guide to this Scottish hill challenge.
