Summary

Desert Crossing Challenges explores the intricate art of navigating arid landscapes, emphasizing the critical balance between physical preparedness, resource management, and environmental awareness. The book highlights that deserts, historically formidable barriers, demand respect and understanding, noting that the human body's reaction to extreme heat and strategic planning are crucial for survival. Did you know that deserts cover about one-fifth of the Earth's land surface, each with unique climatological challenges?

 
The book uniquely combines scientific rigor with practical advice, making it a valuable resource for anyone venturing into these environments. The book progresses methodically, beginning with an introduction to desert climatology, including temperature fluctuations and wind patterns. It then delves into the physiological effects of heat stress and dehydration, before exploring navigation techniques.

 
It supports the argument that successful desert navigation relies on integrating physiological readiness with fundamental navigation skills. By synthesizing these elements, the book provides practical strategies for planning desert crossings, including risk assessment and emergency preparedness, making it an essential guide for adventure travelers and researchers alike.

Cascadia

H.W. "Buzz" Bernard

If you live in the Pacific Northwest, get ready to run for your life . . . 
In the face of a massive earthquake and tsunami in the Pacific Northwest, a respected geologist must make two gut-wrenching decisions. One could cost him his reputation, the other, his life. 
Is the Northwest overdue for a huge quake and tsunami, or will the region remain safe for hundreds of years yet to come? No one knows… or does someone? 
Dr. Rob Elwood, a geologist whose specialty is earthquakes and tsunamis, is having nightmares of "the big one" that are way too real to disregard. His friend, a counselor and retired reverend, does not think Rob is going nuts. To the contrary, he believes the dreams are premonitions to be taken seriously. No one else does, however, even after a press conference. 
Some live to regret it, most don't. 
Rob's drama becomes intertwined with others--a retired fighter pilot trying to make amends to a woman he jilted decades ago and a quixotic retiree searching for legendary buried treasure in the rugged coastal mountains of Oregon. 
All are about to live Rob's nightmare. 
"Riveting, scary, and entirely believable . . . a compelling, page-turning thriller with the ring of truth." Jerry Thompson, author of Cascadia's Fault

Tales of Space and Time

H. G. Wells

"Between the stars and the stone, lies the story of us."

In this seminal collection, H.G. Wells—the "Father of Science Fiction"—takes readers on a journey across the spectrum of existence. From the primitive struggles of our ancestors in "A Story of the Stone Age" to the dystopian urban sprawl of "A Story of the Days to Come," Wells explores how environment and technology shape the human spirit. Featuring the chilling cosmic disaster of "The Star" and the mysterious Martian surveillance in "The Crystal Egg," these five stories serve as a profound meditation on humanity's fragile place in a vast, indifferent universe.

The Origins of Mystery: In "The Crystal Egg," Wells returns to the themes of The War of the Worlds, suggesting that even as we go about our daily lives, we are being watched from across the void. In "The Star," he delivers one of the most powerful descriptions of a global cataclysm ever written, showing how a passing celestial body could rewrite the geography of Earth and the humility of man.

The Future of the Machine: In the novella-length "A Story of the Days to Come," Wells predicts a world of moving sidewalks, synthesized food, and a rigid social hierarchy where the wealthy live in the sun and the poor toil in the subterranean depths. This vision of a "megacity" served as the direct inspiration for later masterpieces like Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

A Struggle for Survival: Wells reminds us that whether we are fighting a cave lion with a flint axe or battling a corporate monopoly in the year 2100, the core of the human experience remains the same: the drive to survive, to love, and to transcend our limitations.
