Sinopse

Canyon Drop Mechanics explores the comprehensive world of rappelling within challenging canyon environments, focusing on the crucial interplay between anchor systems, descent control, and self-rescue techniques. This book uniquely emphasizes a systems-thinking approach, highlighting the interconnectedness of each element rather than treating them in isolation. Readers will discover the evolution of rappelling, from early mountaineering to modern canyoning, with insights into how industrial rope access and military applications have shaped current practices.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with the fundamental physics of rappelling, including force vectors and rope dynamics, before moving into detailed discussions of anchor selection and descent control devices. A key focus is on understanding, not just memorizing, techniques for making informed decisions in unpredictable situations. The latter part of the book is dedicated to emergency procedures and self-rescue, essential knowledge for safe canyon exploration and effective response to mishaps.

 
This resource is valuable for recreational canyoneers, search and rescue teams, and climbing instructors, offering a blend of scientific rigor and practical advice. Canyon Drop Mechanics stands out by integrating engineering test data, accident reports, and first-hand accounts, promoting safety and informed decision-making in the thrilling yet demanding sport of canyoning, making it an invaluable guide for anyone serious about vertical descent.

    New Mexico's Spanish legacy has informed the cultural traditions of one of the last states to join the union for more than four hundred years, or before the alluring capital of Santa Fe was founded in 1610. The fame the region gained from artist Georgia O'Keefe, writers Lew Wallace and D. H. Lawrence, and pistolero Billy the Kid has made New Mexico an international tourist destination. But the Spanish annals also have enriched the Land of Enchantment with the factual stories of a superhero knight, the greatest queen in history, a saintly gent whose coffin periodically rises from the depths of the earth and a mysterious ancient map. Join author Ray John de Aragón as he reveals hidden treasure full of suspense and intrigue.

    "What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding is kind of like if Eat, Pray, Love were written by your funniest friend." —Rachel Dratch 
     
     
     
    Kristin Newman spent much of her twenties and thirties buying dresses to wear to her friends' weddings and baby showers. Not ready to settle down and in need of an escape from her fast-paced job as a sitcom writer, Kristin instead traveled the world, often alone, for several weeks each year. In addition to falling madly in love with the planet, Kristin fell for many attractive locals, men who could provide the emotional connection she wanted without costing her the freedom she desperately needed. 
     
     
     
    Kristin introduces listeners to the Israeli bartenders, Finnish poker players, sexy Bedouins, and Argentinean priests who helped her transform into "Kristin-Adjacent" on the road—a slower, softer, and, yes, sluttier version of herself at home. Equal parts laugh-out-loud storytelling, candid reflection, and wanderlust-inspiring travel tales, What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding is a compelling debut that will have listeners rushing to renew their passports.
