Sinopsis

Cave System Routes transforms the understanding of multi-level cave systems, turning potential death traps into navigable routes for recreation, research, and especially cave rescue. It highlights how crucial it is to comprehend cave systems as interconnected networks, where airflow dynamics play a pivotal role, impacting temperature and pressure.  Delving into karst topography and speleogenesis, the book emphasizes that successful navigation is not just about pathfinding, but about understanding the geological forces at play. The book uniquely integrates geological principles with practical techniques, like compass-and-tape surveys and laser scanning, to map cave structures. It progresses from foundational concepts of cave morphology to airflow dynamics, demonstrating how tracer gases can map airflow pathways.  Finally, it covers practical applications such as exit route mapping and emergency retrieval protocols, culminating in case studies that highlight successful strategies and critical errors in past incidents. This resource is invaluable for anyone involved in cave environments, from geologists to recreational cavers and search and rescue teams. By combining detailed structural mapping with an understanding of airflow patterns and comprehensive emergency planning, Cave System Routes provides a holistic, data-driven approach to mitigate the risks associated with cave exploration.

    Her first night in a Tanzanian tent began with a prowling lion’s roar. Will the savage terrors open her eyes to an unseen world? 
    Sue Tidwell lived in awe of Africa’s extraordinary wildlife. After years spent appreciating the animals in her imagination, the tenderhearted American hated the idea of joining her husband on a big game hunt. And getting attacked by blood-sucking tsetse flies the moment she stepped off the plane gave no hint of the mind-blowing change of perspective in her future…  
    With her initial animosity turning into curiosity as they breathlessly tracked dangerous beasts, Sue formed a surprising bond with their young, female, government-assigned game scout. And as she became entranced by the tales and wisdom from the Masimba Camp crew, she was humbled by the mystery of the vilified safari and the people who relied on it for survival.  
    Supplementing her own experiences on the elephant-rutted roads with local insights and scientific research into conservation efforts, Tidwell explores how her preconceived beliefs sluiced away under the deluge of reality. And with an evocative narrative peppered with self-deprecating humor, vivid imagery, and over ninety photos and illustrations, you’ll emerge forever changed by the truths this greenhorn found buried in a rugged and romantic landscape. 
    Cries of the Savanna is an unflinching and passionate memoir. If you like awe-inspiring adventures, truth revealed through laughter, and life being stranger than fiction, then you'll adore Sue Tidwell's brush with the wild.  
    Buy Cries of the Savanna to put boots on the ground today! 
    NOTE: The audible version of Cries of the Savanna includes guest narration by Lilian Mremi, the Tanzanian Game Scout featured in the book, as well as the LITERAL cries of the savanna -- lions, hyenas, hippos, elephants, leopards, baboons and more.

    A combination of travel memoir and epicurean adventure, Godforsaken Grapes is an entertaining love letter to wine.​ "Will make you curious and thirsty." (Eric Asimov, New York Times) 
      
    There are nearly 1,400 known varieties of wine grapes in the world—from altesse to zierfandler—but 80 percent of the wine we drink is made from only 20 grapes. In Godforsaken Grapes, award-winning travel writer Jason Wilson looks at how that came to be and embarks on a journey to discover what we miss. 
      
    Stemming from his own growing obsession, Jason Wilson moves far beyond the “noble grapes,” hunting down obscure and underappreciated wines from Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, France, Italy, the United States, and beyond. 
      
    In the process, he looks at why these wines fell out of favor (or never gained it in the first place), what it means to be obscure, and how geopolitics, economics, and fashion have changed what we drink.

    One of the most witty and idiosyncratic travel books, Eothen started out as a few notes scribbled on the back of a map for a friend, but took Kinglake seven years of painstaking work to finesse. The physical details of the journey, undertaken in 1834 through Turkey, Cyprus, the Holy Land, Cairo and Damascus, are barely mentioned. The infectious charm lies in the conversations, the whimsical chance encounters and the attitudes of the author. Over the years, Kinglake has been recognised as a stylist without equal.
