Synopsis

Dune Surfing explores the exciting world of sandboarding, an extreme sport that combines the thrill of snowboarding with the unique environment of desert landscapes. This book delves into the physics of riding sand dunes, the equipment used, and the techniques needed to master this sport. For example, understanding the right body positioning is as crucial as choosing the appropriate sandboard wax for optimal performance. The book emphasizes that sandboarding is a dynamic interplay of skill, environmental factors, and technological innovation.

 
The book starts with the origins of sand sliding, then moves into equipment analysis, focusing on design and materials. Sandboarding techniques are another key focus and include practical advice on body positioning and speed control. Beyond the techniques, Dune Surfing uniquely addresses the environmental impact, promoting responsible riding and the Leave No Trace principles.

 
What makes this book valuable is its blend of practical advice and scientific insight, written in an accessible tone for both novices and experienced riders. The book progresses by first laying a historical foundation, then building on this foundation with technical aspects, and concluding with a discussion of environmental responsibility.

Bly vs Bisland - Beating Phileas...

Nellie Bly, Elizabeth Bisland

Following the publication of Jules Verne's novel Around the World in Eighty Days in 1873, Americans had an increasing interest in travel. World travel was becoming even easier with the faster steamships of the day.
In 1888, Nellie Bly, a feisty, investigative reporter for Joseph Pulitzer's New York World newspaper, pitched a story idea of traveling around the world in 75 days to beat the record achieved by Phileas Fogg, the character in Verne's book. While the editor thought it a great idea, he naturally thought the trip should be made by a man. The idea was shelved for over a year.
One day in November 1889, Bly's editor told her the trip against Fogg's time would occur, and she would be the reporter to go - in just two days! She sailed east toward England on 14 November, 1889.
The Cosmopolitan was a rival magazine in New York. Not to be outdone by Pulitizer, the Cosmopolitan editors suddenly decided - seemingly within minutes of Bly's departure - to send their own female reporter, Elizabeth Bisland, on a world trip with the intent to return to New York before Bly. Bisland left that evening on a train going west to San Francisco.
Both reporters wrote detailed accounts of their journeys. For the first time, their writings have been combined in this book so that a consistent timeline is maintained between both women. The listener can feel the urgency and uniqueness of their travels while fully enjoying the similarities and differences in the authors' styles and their experiences.
Who will win the race?
Elizabeth Cochrane adopted the name of the Stephen Foster song Nelly Bly as her pen name. This famous song is performed in the credits by noted musicians Vivian and Phil Williams and is used with their gracious permission. You can hear more of their music at VoyagerRecords.com.
