Synopsis

Deep Cave Risks explores the complex challenges of cave exploration, emphasizing the critical need for risk management in these extreme environments. It delves into the unique dangers faced by cavers, from the physical strains of navigating tight passages with limited air supply to the psychological impact of isolation and darkness. Understanding these risks is crucial, as cave exploration, while offering scientific value and adventure, presents inherent hazards.

 
The book highlights the importance of a holistic approach, integrating physical training, psychological preparedness, and meticulous risk assessment to enhance caver safety. The book progresses systematically, starting with the geological and environmental context of caves, followed by historical exploration incidents. It details the effects of low oxygen, high humidity, and constant darkness on the human body, alongside the psychological challenges of claustrophobia and cognitive strain.

 
Practical risk management tools, including equipment selection and emergency procedures, are thoroughly addressed. Deep Cave Risks draws upon scientific studies, incident reports, and first-hand accounts to provide a comprehensive framework for risk assessment applicable to diverse cave environments, making it valuable for experienced cavers, rescue personnel, and earth sciences enthusiasts alike.

    Your Shopping Superpower provides an insightful guide and strategies for shoppers to align the contents in their carts with their personal values. 
      
    Are there harmful toxins in your food and body care? Who makes the products you purchase and under what conditions? What impact does the production of these items have on the environment? If 70% of the U.S. economy is driven by consumer spending, then every purchase we make has a physical and social impact on the world. Unfortunately, our shopping choices can unintentionally contribute to climate change and social injustice. Many people wish they could do more to combat these unjust and unsustainable outcomes. So what is the connection between our purchases and this impact? Your Shopping Superpower explores this important question and offers a comprehensive guide that navigates toward positive and sustainable shopping practices by providing pragmatic tips, tools and revealing how our habits can help reduce climate change, support companies with equitable workplace conditions, and foster diverse, local businesses. 
      
    Broken into categories including People, Planet, Community, and Health, Diane Osgood expands on key issues regarding climate degradation, labor exploitation, products containing carcinogens and toxins, and the importance of supporting local, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses while covering an array of products that include food, fashion, gifts, household items, and personal care. Addressing shoppers’ doubts about whether consumer choices truly have an impact and their concerns about costs and accessibility, Osgood shows how making these easy changes fosters happiness. With helpful diagrams and firsthand stories on climate and social injustice, Your Shopping Superpower informs and guides shoppers on how to: 
     Implement one change per weekIdentify trustworthy certifications, rating systems, and appsDetect greenwashing and other misleading marketingDetermine which purchases to switch for maximum impactHandle and approach choices that aren’t easy or affordable 
      
    By changing what we buy, we can initiate the change in our economy's environmental footprint and social impact. To enact change, we must start simple; it’s about progress, not perfection. 
      
    “This book doesn’t preach. … She persuaded me to start shopping more sustainably step by step to increase my economic impact. It made me happier. Sustainable shopping is not just about the environment. It’s also about helping humanity. I usually donate or recycle most of my books as soon as I finish reading them. This is one book I plan on keeping.”—Biruté Mary Galdikas, PhD, renowned primatologist, conservationist, and author
