Summary

Mountain Altitude Sickness explores the science behind the dangers of high-altitude climbing, focusing on the physiological challenges of reduced oxygen. It explains how even experienced athletes can develop altitude sickness, covering topics like hypoxia and acclimatization. The book uniquely bridges scientific research with practical advice, making complex biological concepts accessible to both climbers and medical professionals. Did you know the body attempts to compensate for lower oxygen through increased respiration and heart rate? Or that high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) are severe forms of altitude sickness? The book progresses logically, first laying the physiological groundwork of altitude adaptation. It then examines various forms of altitude sickness, from acute mountain sickness (AMS) to the more dangerous HAPE and HACE, detailing symptoms and treatments. Finally, it offers strategies for acclimatization, from staged ascents to pharmacological interventions, providing a comprehensive guide for prevention and management. This approach, supported by studies and research, makes the book valuable for anyone venturing into high-altitude environments.

    The Gospel Coaltion Award of Distinction—Christian Living
    Outreach Resource of the Year
    The digital age is in the business of commodifying our attention. The technologies of our day are determined to keep us scrolling and swiping at all costs, plugged into a feedback loop of impatience, comparison, outrage, and contempt. Blind to the dangers, we enjoy its temporary pleasures, unaware of the damage to our souls.
    Jay Kim's Analog Church explored the ways the digital age and its values affect the life of the church. In Analog Christian, he asks the same question of Christian discipleship. As the digital age inclines us to discontentment, fragility, and foolishness, how are followers of Jesus to respond? What is the theological basis for living in creative resistance to the forces of our day? How can Christians cultivate the contentment, resilience, and wisdom to not only survive but to thrive as we navigate the specific challenges of our age?

    In this radically optimistic climate change book, find yourself empowered to achieve sustainable living across every facet of your life—the personal, the professional, and the political. 
      
    “Never has decisive action on climate and environment been more important. This book will help citizens understand that while no one can do everything, everyone can do something—and offers a myriad of ways they can get started too.” —Dr. Trista Patterson, Time100 Climate Leader, 2023, and co-founder of Playing for the Planet 
      
    Charlie Sellars pulls insight from his experience as a director of sustainability at Microsoft, which has underlined its commitment to be a green business with a pledge to become carbon negative, water positive, and zero waste by 2030 while protecting ecosystems. He also serves on the governing body of the iMasons Climate Accord, an industry coalition united to decarbonize digital infrastructure. 
      
    Inside this sustainable living book, you will learn how to: 
     - Harness environmental science to make more sustainable decisions using the “Make It, Move It, Lose It, Use It” impact framework. 
     - Turn your job into a sustainability job, no matter what you do for a living. 
     - Unleash the power of your voice at the ballot box and in your local community. 
      
    This refreshingly optimistic environmental book for adults and recent graduates makes for a great climate change gift, like Hannah Ritchie’s Not the End of the World and Katharine Hayhoe’s Saving Us. 
       
    Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something. It’s not too late to defeat the climate crisis, and What We Can Do will show you how. 
    “What We Can Do brings cutting-edge sustainability techniques used by chief sustainability officers into the hands and context of everyday individuals. The result? A book that finally empowers readers to maximize their impact across every facet of their lives” —Ann Tracy, chief sustainability officer, Colgate-Palmolive

    People form their first impression of you—and your business—in under a second. It’s a startling thought. Fortunately, online articles have a bit more leeway. Most web pages have just under a minute to capture visitors' attention and persuade them to stay or leave. 
    That said, sixty seconds isn’t much time. If you need to convince a new user that your content is worth their clicks and shares, you might think brevity is key. Surprisingly, that’s not always the case. To truly stand out in a crowded digital landscape and keep users engaged, long-form articles are the way to go.
