Sinopsis

Ridge Edge Movements explores the art and science of safely navigating knife-edge ridges, drawing parallels between mountaineering and scouting. It reveals how balance, environmental awareness, and gear management are crucial for success. Readers will discover how mastering equilibrium under pressure and understanding wind dynamics can significantly reduce risk. The book uniquely blends practical climbing instruction with environmental science, emphasizing safety protocols and risk management, essential for both climbers and scouts.

 
The book challenges the idea that ridge travel is purely about physical strength, arguing it requires calculated precision. It begins by examining the physics of balance and the psychology of risk, then investigates weather impacts on movement. Subsequent sections detail rope techniques and safety systems.

 
Case studies of successful and unsuccessful ridge crossings provide actionable guidelines, making this a valuable resource for anyone looking to master ridge travel.

    Through her engaging memoir, author Margaret Herle shares a pioneering tale of life on the road. After deciding to retire in a home on wheels, Herle and her husband satisfied their cravings for travels (and being warm in winters!) on their own terms, exploring every province in Canada, most of the US, and the entire length of the Baja Peninsula in Mexico. From tourist destinations to unexpected offbeat spots, they found more adventure than they imagined in their converted bus, the Dragonfly.  
    Readers can come along for the ride with one of the original “vanlifers” who dared to give up a fixed address for an undetermined time and fulfill a love of travel in retirement—meeting locals, discovering different cultures, finding and immersing in new communities, and overcoming some epic challenges. For anyone interested in the #vanlife trend, Herle’s journey throughout North America in the 1990s—told through her reflections and personal letters to family—is an inspiration to choose the unordinary lifestyle and live your dream.

    Befriending China tells the story of China's current effort to "open up" to a flood of visitors, as part of a campaign of "People-To-People Peacemaking." The story is partially based on three visits to China from late 2023 through late 2024. It describes the impressive achievements China has made in infrastructure, education, health care, and poverty alleviation. It includes an in-depth eye-witness account of visiting Xinjiang, debunking official rumors in the US of abuse of the Uyghur population there. It also highlights exciting tourism opportunities, with closeup looks at the mountainous Guizhou and Shanxi provinces, and the amazing "megacities" of Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Suzhou. It includes a preface by Carlos Martinez, editor of the Friends of Socialist China website. It also examines China's democratic system, and its successful foreign policy based on common prosperity and a shared future. Finally, it details ongoing US efforts to slander China and prepare for war against it, arguing that China is not our enemy.
