Sinopsis

Rapid Descent Safety is a vital guide focused on mastering rope work for quickly escaping dangerous situations. It emphasizes the dual necessities of creating trustworthy anchor systems, even under pressure, and expertly controlling descents with the right gear and braking methods. A key insight is the critical role of risk assessment when time is short, examining how to choose the best anchor points—whether natural formations or artificial supports—and understanding the mechanics of different descent control devices. 

 
The book progresses from basic rope and knot skills to detailed analysis of descent equipment and techniques suited for various terrains, such as cliffs or urban settings. It also covers emergency self-rescue methods and strategies for avoiding common hazards. Drawing from mountaineering and search and rescue protocols, the book uniquely emphasizes the physics of braking and load management, providing a scientific basis for safe adventure sports.

 
What sets this book apart is its specific focus on rapid descent in time-critical scenarios, offering a framework for sound decision-making when under pressure. Case studies are included to provide valuable lessons learned. The book culminates with team protocols and training exercises, integrating rapid descent techniques into broader operational strategies applicable to climbers, mountaineers, and search and rescue teams, making it an essential resource for enhancing safety and survivability.

    This program is read by the author, Ken Layne, host of the Desert Oracle radio show. It includes an exclusive first listen to a story from Desert Oracle: Volume 2.The cult-y field guide to the strange and intriguing secrets of the Mojave—its myths and legends, outcasts and oddballs, flora, fauna, and UFOs—becomes the definitive, oracular book of the desert.For the past five years, Desert Oracle has existed as a quasi-mythical, quarterly periodical available to the very determined only by subscription or at the odd desert-town gas station or the occasional hipster boutique, its canary-yellow-covered, forty-four-page issues handed from one curious desert zealot to the next, word spreading faster than the printers could keep up with. It became a radio show, a podcast, a live performance. Now, for the first time—and including both classic and new, never-before-seen revelations—Desert Oracle is available as an audiobook.Straight out of Joshua Tree, California, Desert Oracle is “The Voice of the Desert”: a field guide to the strange tales, singing sand dunes, sagebrush trails, artists and aliens, authors and oddballs, ghost towns and modern legends, musicians and mystics, scorpions and saguaros, out there in the sand. Desert Oracle is your companion at a roadside diner, around a campfire, in your tent or cabin (or high-rise apartment or suburban living room) as the wind and the coyotes howl outside at night.From journal entries of long-deceased adventurers to stray railroad ad copy, and musings on everything from desert flora, rumored cryptid sightings, and other paranormal phenomena, Ken Layne's Desert Oracle collects the weird and the wonderful of the American Southwest into a single, essential volume.A Macmillan Audio production from MCD Books.

    In 1879 John Muir went to Alaska for the first time. Its stupendous living glaciers aroused his unbounded interest, for they enabled him to verify his theories of glacial action. Again and again he returned to this continental laboratory of landscapes. The greatest of the tide-water glaciers appropriately commemorates his name. Upon this book of Alaska travels, all but finished before his unforeseen departure, John Muir expended the last months of his life. (Summary by William Frederic Bade)
