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.

    Down East Maine is well known for its breathtaking scenery and art museums. However, much of the history in the traditional mining and fishing area of Rockland and St. George remains untold.  Hanson Gregory from Clam Cove invented the donut. Mary Brown Patten sailed a clipper around Cape Horn. Captain Albert Keller was shipwrecked on Easter Island and Effie Canning of Rockland composed the lullaby "Rock a Bye Baby." Captain Charles Holbrook of Tenants Harbor and his ship, the Hattie Dunn, fell victim to a German U-boat in the Atlantic.  Local author Jane Merrill uncovers the forgotten stories and personalities that bring this unique area's history into focus.

    Lots of people take a walk to clear their heads, but have you ever walked over six hundred miles to do it?On a misty, gray morning in the summer of 2018, Gordon Bernhardt set out from a small town in the French Pyrenees to walk the ancient pilgrim route of Camino de Santiago, seeking clarity for his business, his relationships, and his priorities in life. The lessons he learned as a peregrino—a pilgrim—ranged from insights on financial advising and investing to the importance of noticing the tiniest details of each day: like the ant trails winding across the path at his feet or the “smiling sunflower” that lightened his steps in the middle of a hot summer day.An investing book like no other, Buen Camino: What a Hike through Spain Taught Me about Investing and Life will remind you that although we’re all walking a different path, we’re all headed for a common destination.

    One woman's journey through South America - and the devastating story of our planet's disappearing biodiversity 
     
    Pedalling hard for thirteen months, eco adventurer Kate Rawles cycled the length of the Andes on an eccentric bicycle she built herself. The Life Cycle charts her mission to find out why biodiversity is so important, what's happening to it, and what can be done to protect it. 
     
    From the Pacific Ocean to rainforests and salt flats, Kate learns that armadillos can cross rivers by holding their breath, that Colombia has more species of birds than North America and Europe combined, and that in threatening species and ecosystems, we're tearing down our own life support system. En route, she witnesses the devastation of goldmining and oil drilling but finds hope in the incredible people working to regenerate habitats and communities. As she reaches the 'end of the world', she realises that to tackle biodiversity loss we all have a role to play. 
    'A gripping read for anyone who cares about what we're doing to the planet and how we can change it' DAVID SHUKMAN, FORMER BBC NEWS SCIENCE EDITOR 
     
    'Searing observations focused on our need to protect biodiversity - A tour de force' SIR TIM SMIT OBE, CO-FOUNDER OF THE EDEN PROJECT
