Sinopse

Emergency Signal Methods offers crucial knowledge for anyone venturing into remote areas, focusing on how to create effective distress signals. It emphasizes that signaling isn't just luck, but a science-based skill involving signal patterns, material selection, and strategic positioning, all within international search and rescue standards. For example, understanding how weather impacts signal visibility can dramatically improve your chances of being seen. This book uniquely combines practical, hands-on advice with scientific principles, distinguishing it from general survival guides.

 
It begins by establishing the core principles of visual and auditory signaling, detailing the evolution of SAR practices and the technological advancements that influence search methodologies. One key insight involves understanding the "Rule of Threes" and the universal distress signal. The book progresses systematically. It starts with the essentials of distress signaling, moves to material selection (like using fire, smoke, or signal mirrors), and then emphasizes strategic positioning based on terrain and weather. Case studies of successful and unsuccessful rescues are included to reinforce learning, making it an invaluable resource for outdoor enthusiasts and survivalists.

    Wild Peaks: A Journey on Foot...

    A journey through Britain’s first National Park on its 75th anniversary 
    On a spring day in 1932, 400 disgruntled ramblers embarked on a 'mass trespass' of Kinder Scout, a plateau in the Peak District in northern England. Their aim? To establish a right to roam across the rugged landscape, against the wishes of wealthy landowners. 
    The hikers were seeking respite from the smoky industrial centres of Manchester and Sheffield – and eventually they got what they wanted. In 1951, the Peak District was established as Britain’s first national park. Home to striking dragon-back ridges of rock, vast expanses of peat, farms and villages, cloughs and caverns, the Peak is much more than the 'howling wilderness' described by Daniel Defoe three centuries ago. 
    With the 75th anniversary of the park’s creation looming, how has this dramatic landscape fared since? Celebrated travel writer Tom Chesshyre hit the trails on a 363-mile ramble to find out – and to celebrate this symbolic home of hiking. 
    Wild Peaks follows winding paths, pausing at old inns and mountain huts, and along the way meeting a rich cast of landowners, farmers, historians, mountaineers, publicans, rangers, right-to-roamers, homeless travellers, mountain rescue members, mystics, dreamers and fellow hikers. 
    Don your cagoule, grab a compass, and join Tom as he explores how the land has changed, and how we have too. 
    For fans of Monisha Rajesh (Around India in 80 Trains), Ben Aitken (A Chip Shop in Poznan), Mark Gregory Probert (Journey through Wales), James Anthony (The Slow Road to Deadhorse), and Michael Williams (The Future of Quality News Journalism).

    Henry David Thoreau’s Walking is a profound meditation on nature, freedom, and self-discovery. Originally published in 1862, this classic essay explores the philosophy of walking as both a physical and spiritual act, emphasizing the importance of immersing oneself in the wild, untamed beauty of the natural world. Thoreau argues that walking is not merely a pastime but a way to achieve a deeper connection with the land, free from societal constraints and distractions. 
    Narrated by Declan McHugh, this audiobook brings Thoreau’s lyrical prose to life, guiding listeners through his reflections on wilderness, solitude, and personal growth. His insights remain as relevant today as they were in the 19th century, inspiring modern readers to step away from the noise of civilization and embrace the tranquility of nature. 
    An essential work for lovers of philosophy, nature writing, and transcendentalist thought, Walking is a timeless call to slow down, wander, and rediscover the world beyond paved roads and crowded cities.

    A narrator and her dog are criss-crossing the Swiss Alps. She travels with friends who share her interest in food, languages and their topographical contexts. They collect colours, even look for colourlessness, and develop the idea of a walk-in diary, a vain attempt to archive their observations.
    Gradually, other mountains appear in their observations and memories, as do the mountains of literature and art. Mountains may be sites of fear and awe, of narrow-mindedness, racism and ever-looming collapse; Alpine lodges may be places of hospitality, retreat and unexpected encounters; of nature under threat.
    In 515 notes, Zsuzsanna Gahse unfolds a finely woven interplay between her six characters while giving us a vivid panorama of mountain worlds, a multi-layered typology of all things mountainish.
