Beschreibung

River Crossing Perils addresses the often-underestimated dangers of navigating rivers during adventure travel, highlighting the risks of drowning even for experienced individuals. The book emphasizes that successful crossings require more than physical strength; knowledge of river dynamics and the physiological effects of cold water are crucial. For instance, seemingly minor changes in riverbed topography can create unexpectedly powerful currents, and immersion in cold water can rapidly lead to hypothermia, drastically increasing drowning risk.

 
The book progresses from fundamental concepts of hydrology and physiology to specific hazards encountered during river crossings, using case studies to illustrate key points. It then transitions to practical strategies for mitigating these risks, including route selection, teamwork, and appropriate equipment.

 
A key argument is that many drowning incidents are preventable through increased awareness and proactive risk mitigation, shifting the focus from reactive rescue to planning and prevention. Ultimately, River Crossing Perils provides readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to assess risks, develop safe crossing strategies, and respond effectively in emergencies. It combines scientific data, expert opinions, and practical advice, making it a valuable resource for anyone venturing into remote environments where river crossings are necessary.

    The ultimate keepsake for every pickleball fan—from a dink shot to the kitchen, everything a pickleballer needs to know in this guide to the world’s greatest recreational sport, packed with lots of joy, good humor, and even a little bit of wisdom. 
     
    Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America. Easy to learn, but impossible to master, it’s no wonder that nearly 5 million people nationwide have picked up their paddles and taken to the court. But people aren’t just dabbling in this up-and-coming activity, they are obsessed; some hit the court as many as five, six, even seven times a week. As Vanity Fair put it, pickleball has “won over everyone, from Leonardo DiCaprio to your grandparents.” 
    Pickleball Is Life is the first book of its kind celebrating the weird and wonderful world of pickleball. It will take readers on a journey from the sport’s quirky origins to its modern-day cult following. Along the way, learn more pickleball knowledge, including etiquette tips, a DIY court, obscure rules, and pointers for (good-natured) trash talk. Also included are interviews with members of the three founding families from Bainbridge Island who are still very much involved in the sport and its growth. 
    People of all ages, athletic abilities, and backgrounds have fallen in love with pickleball. Sure, it’s a good workout, but it’s also a cheerful way to interact with others—something folks crave now more than ever. So, whether they’re uninitiated or obsessed, this book will help readers find even more to love about the world’s greatest sport. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    From the award-winning, New York Times best-selling author of Cod and Salt, To Catch a Fish is an entertaining and beautifully written illustrated collection of essays that explore a lifetime fascination with fishing.    For as long as there have been humans, there have been humans trying to catch fish. The two species—fish and man—live in constant tension. One chases the other. One tries to get away. Some of us—author Mark Kurlansky included—are hard-wired for that chase. Guiding readers through the waters and into the mind of the fish, Kurlansky considers who fish are and why they behave the way they do, and along the way delves into the many approaches to catching a fish, their ecology, and the ins and outs of cooking and eating your catch. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a novice, or simply want to explore the world of fish, the forty short essays in this collection and the dazzling illustrations by Bri Dostie, shed new light on these creatures and our relationship to them.
