Sinopse

Boulder Roll Threats explores the often-overlooked dangers of rockfall in mountain environments, providing crucial knowledge for safe hiking and climbing adventures. It uniquely combines insights from mountain ecosystems, geological hazards, and adventure activities to help readers understand and mitigate risk.

 
Did you know that freeze-thaw cycles significantly contribute to slope instability, increasing rockfall frequency? Or that understanding the physics of falling rocks—mass, velocity, and trajectory—allows hikers to better assess potential dangers?

 
This book adopts a proactive approach, focusing on hazard awareness and informed decision-making rather than solely on reactive measures. It progresses from foundational knowledge of mountain geology and geomorphology to practical applications, such as hazard zone identification and route selection.

 
The book also covers personal protective equipment and evasion techniques, empowering readers to make informed decisions about their safety.

 
Ultimately, Boulder Roll Threats emphasizes that rockfall dangers are predictable through understanding the interplay of natural forces and geological conditions, offering a safer experience in steep terrain.

    The Silver Invicta is a stream of impressions from a fishing life, in its varying moods, colored with plenty of whisky and eccentric company. Join Tom Harland on his light-hearted journeys with his fly rod; take part in his triumphs and disasters on rough, wild camping trips and share his encounters with the wildlife of Scotland’s rivers and lochs.  The ‘Silver Invicta’ was the traditional fly which was taken by Tom’s first salmon and is also a nod to the spirit of Scotland’s embattled migratory fish. Tom has fished throughout his local Scottish Borders, England, the Western Isles and New Zealand (a country he lived and worked in for two years), but his real passion is for the brown trout of the hill lochs of Assynt in the North-west Highlands.  Open this treasure trove of a book to share the pleasure the author finds through fishing respectfully in magical, wild, and seldom-visited places.

    No need to travel halfway round the globe to spot iconic wildlife – it's right here on our doorstep in the UK and Steve Wright, keen amateur naturalist, travels from the Isle of Man to Norfolk, to the Orkneys, Northern Ireland and everywhere in-between on his various short holiday expeditions, clutching his specific wildlife wish-list for each trip.  
    
    The result is an inspiring and engaging diary of his personal encounters with white-tailed eagles, otters, bottlenose dolphins, fulmars, puffins, osprey, sand lizards, even red-necked wallabies. And the characters he meets on the way. He hears snipe drumming, watches a shrew in Wales, admires pilot whales off Lewis.  
    
    Steve's wildlife travel diaries give excellent practical tips, such as bird-hide etiquette, how to identify birds on the wing, how to consult local wildlife rangers about what might be spotted on each outing and where to find that species.  
    
    But most importantly his highly-readable wildlife travels are a call to others to book themselves in to pubs and small hotels the length and breadth of Britain and follow his example, for a series of fun British wildlife safaris.

    Uncover Meaning in Humanity’s Darkest Moments  
    WITH A FOREWORD BY DR. PHILIP STONE  
      
    In Beyond the Darkness: Transformative Journeys Through Dark Tourism, Dr. Chad Scott, multi-category #1 Amazon bestselling author, takes readers on a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of some of history’s most profound and challenging sites.  
    From the solemn corridors of Auschwitz to the shadowy depths of the Paris Catacombs and the reflective spaces of Ground Zero, Dr. Scott doesn’t just explore the physical remnants of tragedy—he uncovers their emotional and transformative potential. With vivid storytelling and personal reflections, he examines how even the world’s darkest chapters can teach us resilience, compassion, and the strength of the human spirit. Far more than a travel memoir, this is a powerful testament to how dark tourism allows us to connect with the past to find meaning in our own lives.  
    Beyond the Darkness asks questions that linger long after the journey ends:  
    What can we learn from humanity’s most difficult moments?  
    How do these places help us confront our own struggles, mortality, and capacity for growth?  
    What does it mean to bear witness to history and come away forever changed?  
    Perfect for readers of Anthony Bourdain’s adventurous spirit, Viktor Frankl’s exploration of meaning, and Sheryl Strayed’s personal vulnerability, this is for anyone drawn to powerful travel writing and meaningful history—a guide to finding hope, strength, and clarity in the shadows.
