  Features a new "where are they now" section, with updates about lives of expedition's original climbers and updated resources based on the "Anti-Racism in the Outdoors" (ARITO) guide. 
   
   
   
  Outdoor journalist James Edward Mills's book, The Adventure Gap, is a groundbreaking volume that is equal parts adventure story, history, and inspiration as it chronicles the first American all-Black summit attempt on Denali in 2013. Mills uses this momentous expedition as a jumping-off point to explore diversity in the outdoors, from Mathew Henson who stood at the North Pole in 1909 to contemporary adventurers such as polar explorer Barbara Hillary and rock climber Kai Lightner. 
   
   
   
  This tenth anniversary edition once again shares the compelling events that unfolded during Expedition Denali's summit bid. But it also provides fresh context: A new thought-provoking afterword by Mills examines what has evolved in and around the outdoor community since that effort. He highlights progress and inspiring stories, such as Full Circle Everest, an expedition led by Phillip Henderson that put an all-Black team on top of the world's highest peak. And he points to places where we can and should all strive for higher achievement. The Adventure Gap has become an essential text in outdoor education and inspiration—a story of our times, now more relevant than ever.

  The Storytelling Manual for...

  Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have. But we're not talking about a story as a nice-to-have or an occasional distraction from the real work you do. We’re talking about story as the backbone and the underlying structure, and story as a way of ordering your thoughts and connecting with those around you.
  If you want to make the most of every page on your website, every email to your clients and every conversation on site, this is the guidebook you need. It gives you a simple, flexible structure to tell the stories of your practice, your projects, your process, and your team. And, more than that, it reframes writing not as a chore but as an act of clarity and connection.
  The Storytelling Manual for Architects is a short, practical book with a very human mission – to help you find common ground, convey your worth, and show your clients the difference you can make. It’s a heartfelt manifesto for a better way to write and talk about what you do.
  Juliette Mitchell set up Architypal, a writing consultancy for architects, after many years as an editor at Penguin Books. The Storytelling Manual for Architects is both her step-by-step messaging strategy and her personal act of resistance in the face of AI and things to come.
  
  ‘It’s a great little book – both succinct and spirited!’ Ceri Davies, director at Allford Hall Monaghan Morris
  ‘This book is so good, I don’t want to recommend it to other architects. I want to keep it all to myself.’ Lee Holmes, associate director at Wainwrights
  ‘Joyous, loving, accessible, practical, and just what the doctor ordered.’ Barbara Iddon, co-author of Blueprints for the Soul: Why we need emotion in architecture
  ‘I devoured about 80% of it in the first sitting. Full of good and clear ideas.’ Paul Sheeran, principal at Architexture
  ‘Part guidebook, part pep talk, part love letter to clearer, kinder architectural communication. Practical, readable, and quietly radical.’ Simon Drayson, director at George & James Architects

  Cosmic Inflation - The...

  The concept of cosmic inflation stands as one of the most revolutionary and compelling ideas in modern astrophysics. First proposed in the early 1980s, inflation theory has transformed our understanding of the universe's earliest moments, providing profound insights into its large-scale structure and the intricate patterns of galaxies we observe today. This book goes on a journey to unravel the complexities of this remarkable theory, exploring its origins, implications, and the compelling evidence that supports it. 
    
  Cosmic inflation posits that the universe underwent an exponential expansion within a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. This rapid inflation smoothed out any initial irregularities, setting the stage for the universe's current uniformity and flatness. It also stretched quantum fluctuations to astronomical scales, seeding the formation of galaxies and cosmic structures. Through this lens, we gain a clearer picture of how the universe evolved from a hot, dense state to the vast, structured cosmos we inhabit. 
    
  This book is designed to cater to both curious laypersons and dedicated students of cosmology. We will delve into the fundamental principles of inflation theory, explore its mathematical underpinnings, and examine the observational evidence that lends it credence. From the cosmic microwave background radiation to the distribution of galaxies, we will see how inflation theory elegantly explains many of the universe's most perplexing features.

  The Lion Tracker's Guide To Life

  Somewhere deep inside, you know what your gift, purpose, and mission are. Boyd Varty, a lion tracker and life coach, reveals how the wisdom from the ancient art of tracking can teach you how to recognize these essential ingredients in a meaningful life. Know how to navigate, don’t worry about the destination, and stay alert. These are just a few of the strategies that contribute to both successful lion tracking and a life of fulfillment. When we join Boyd Varty and his two friends tracking lions, we are immersed in the South African bush, and, although we learn some of the skills required for actual tracking, the takeaways are the strategies that can be applied to our everyday lives. Trackers learn how to use all of their senses to read the environment and enter into a state of “greater aliveness.” When we learn to find and follow our inner tracks, we learn to see what is deeply important to us. In the same way the trip in the classic Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was a vehicle to examine how to live out our values, the story of this one-day adventure—with danger and suspense along the way—uses the ancient art of tracking to convey profound lessons on how to live a purposeful, meaningful life of greater harmony.
