Summary

Highway Survival is a self-help guide designed to prepare travelers for roadside emergencies by providing critical survival skills. It emphasizes that being stranded isn't just an inconvenience; it can become life-threatening. The book focuses on proactive preparation and confident action, aiming to bridge the gap between reliance on rescue services and self-reliance.

 
Did you know that your vehicle can become a crucial resource for shelter and signaling if you're stranded? Or that understanding basic car maintenance can prevent many common breakdowns?

 
The book progresses through three stages: preparation, immediate action, and long-term survival. It details vehicle maintenance, emergency kit essentials, route planning, and awareness of potential hazards. It also covers immediate response protocols, such as accident scene management and injury assessment. Highway Survival then explores sustained survival techniques, including shelter construction, water sanitation, and mental fortitude, making it a comprehensive roadside survival guide.

 
What sets this book apart is its tailored approach to roadside scenarios, considering factors like vehicle wreckage and passing traffic, differentiating it from generic survival guides.

Thieves Liars and Mountaineers -...

Mark Horrell

This is the tale of Mark Horrell’s not-so-nearly ascent of Gasherbrum in Pakistan, of how one man’s boredom and frustration was conquered by a gutsy combination of exhaustion, cowardice, and sheer mountaineering incompetence. 
He made not one, not two, but three intrepid assaults, some of which got quite a distance beyond Base Camp, and overcame many perilous circumstances along the way. The mountaineer Joe Simpson famously crawled for three days with a broken leg, but did he ever have to read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown while waiting for a weather window? 
But that’s enough about Mark’s attempt; there were some talented climbers on the mountain as well, and this story is also about them. How did they get on? Heroes, villains, oddballs and madmen – 8,000m peaks attract them all, and drama, intrigue and cock-ups aplenty were inevitable.

Take to the Trees - A Story of...

Marguerite Holloway

Journalist Marguerite Holloway arrives at the Women's Tree Climbing Workshop as a climbing novice, but with a passion for trees and a deep concern about their future. Run by twin sister tree doctors Bear LeVangie and Melissa LeVangie Ingersoll, the workshop helps people develop impressive technical skills and ascend into the canopy. As Holloway tackles unfamiliar equipment and dizzying heights, she learns about the science of trees and tells the stories of charismatic species, including hemlock, aspen, Atlantic white cedar, oak, and beech. She spotlights experts who are chronicling the great dying that is underway in forests around the world as trees face simultaneous and accelerating threats from drought, heat, floods, disease, and other disruptions. 
 
 
 
As she climbs, Holloway also comes to understand the profound significance of trees in her relationship with her late mother and brother. The book's rousing final chapter offers something new: a grander environmental and arboreal optimism, in which the story of trees and their resilience meshes with that of people working to steward the forests of the future, and of community found among fellow tree climbers. A lyrical work of memoir and reportage, Take to the Trees sounds the alarm about rapid arboreal decline while also offering hope about how we might care for our forests and ourselves.
