Beschreibung

Rapid River Crossings offers vital insights into safely navigating swift water, blending physics, tactical planning, and risk management. This guide emphasizes understanding hydrodynamic forces like drag and shear stress, which are critical for making informed decisions. Did you know that even a shallow, fast-moving river can exert enough force to sweep a person off their feet? Applying the principles of fluid dynamics can significantly improve crossing outcomes. The book uniquely integrates theoretical physics with practical techniques, moving beyond simple instructions to provide a deeper understanding. It covers tactical approaches like wading and ferrying, stressing pre-crossing reconnaissance and clear communication. Risk management is also a key focus, detailing essential gear and rescue strategies. A key argument is that an integrated approach to waterway crossings dramatically elevates safety. The book progresses logically, beginning with fundamental physics, then moves to tactical considerations, and culminates with risk management strategies. Rapid River Crossings includes real-world case studies to reinforce learned concepts, offering readers the knowledge needed to assess risks and execute crossings safely, whether for outdoor adventure, search and rescue, or emergency situations.

    Beloved TV host Bill Geist pens a reflective memoir of his incredible summers spent in the heart of America in this New York Times bestseller.Before there was "tourism" and souvenir ashtrays became "kitsch," the Lake of the Ozarks was a Shangri-La for middle-class Midwestern families on vacation, complete with man-made beaches, Hillbilly Mini Golf, and feathered rubber tomahawks. It was there that author Bill Geist spent summers in the Sixties during his school and college years working at Arrowhead Lodge -- a small resort owned by his bombastic uncle -- in all areas of the operation, from cesspool attendant to bellhop.What may have seemed just a summer job became, upon reflection, a transformative era where a cast of eccentric, small-town characters and experiences shaped (some might suggest "slightly twisted") Bill into the man he is today. He realized it was this time in his life that had a direct influence on his sensibilities, his humor, his writing, and ultimately a career searching the world for other such untamed creatures for the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times, and CBS News.In Lake of the Ozarks, Emmy Award-winning CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Bill Geist reflects on his coming of age in the American Heartland and traces his evolution as a man and a writer. He shares laugh-out-loud anecdotes and tongue-in-cheek observations guaranteed to evoke a strong sense of nostalgia for "the good ol' days." Written with Geistian wit and warmth, Lake of the Ozarks takes readers back to a bygone era, and demonstrates how you can find inspiration in the most unexpected places.

    The result is both a colorful listen separating true crime from urban legend and an offbeat historical tour of this Midwestern metropolis, from the person behind the Mysterious Chicago blog, podcasts, and tours.
