Sinossi

Deep Cave Escape explores the science and self-rescue strategies essential for surviving equipment failures in extreme cave environments. Moving beyond traditional survival guides, it investigates the psychological and physiological challenges of deep caving, where rescue can take days or weeks.

 
The book highlights that preparation and understanding personal limitations are crucial, shifting the focus from reaction to proactive risk mitigation. It emphasizes mental resilience as a key survival skill, integrating cognitive strategies to manage fear and maintain focus.

 
The book progresses by first detailing the unique challenges of cave environments, like sensory deprivation and hypothermia, using real-world case studies of cave accidents to analyze equipment failures and caver decisions. It then focuses on practical techniques, such as emergency rigging, water procurement, and communication strategies, underpinned by data from cave rescue reports and physiological studies in simulated cave environments. This approach aims to provide a holistic understanding of cave survival that is applicable to cavers, rescue personnel, and anyone interested in extreme environments.

    Systemic - How Racism Is Making...

    Layal Liverpool spent years bouncing from doctor to doctor, each one failing to diagnose her dermatological complaint. Just when she'd grown used to the idea that she had an extremely rare and untreatable skin condition, one dermatologist, after a quick exam, told her that she had a classic (and common) case of eczema and explained that it often appears differently on darker skin. Her experience stuck with her, making her wonder whether other medical conditions might be going undiagnosed in darker-skinned people and whether racism could, in fact, make people sick. 
     
     
     
    The pandemic taught us that diseases like Covid disproportionately affect people of color. Here, Liverpool goes a step further to show that this disparity exists for all types of illness and that it is caused by racism. In Systemic, she shares her journey to show how racism, woven into our societies, as well as into the structures of medicine and science, is harmful to our health. Refuting the false belief that there are biological differences between races, she goes on to show that racism-related stress and trauma can however, lead to biological changes that make people of color more vulnerable to illness, debunking the myth of illness as the great equalizer. Liverpool reveals the fatal stereotypes that keep people of color undiagnosed, untreated, and unsafe, and tells us what we can do about it.

    A fully updated new edition of David Attenborough’s bestselling classic. 
    BIRDS. 11,000 species, the most widespread of all animals: on icebergs, in the Sahara or under the sea, at home in our gardens or flying for over a year at a time. Earthbound, we can only look and listen, enjoying their lightness, freedom and richness of plumage and song. 
    David Attenborough has been watching and learning all his life. His classic book, now fully updated with the latest discoveries in ornithology, is a brilliant introduction to bird behaviours around the world: what they do and why they do it. He looks at each step in birds' lives and the problems they have to solve: learning to fly; finding food; communicating; mating and caring for nests, eggs and young; migrating; facing dangers and surviving harsh conditions. 
    Sir David has no equal in helping others to learn and making it exciting. His curiosity and enjoyment are infectious. He shows the lifelong pleasure that birds around us offer, and how much we miss if unaware of them. 
    Attenborough, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the science of birdwatching, offering readers a comprehensive guide to understanding the natural world. His passion for zoology and ecology is palpable, making this non-fiction book a captivating read for anyone interested in nature and its history. 
    For fans of David Allen Sibley (Birds of Instagram), Joshua Foer (Atlas Obscura, 2nd Edition), Steve Brusatte (The Rise and Reign of the Mammals), Martin Stevens (Sensory Ecology, Behaviour, and Evolution), and Jonnie Hughes (Earthshot).
