Synopsis

Spur Route Divisions explores the critical skills needed to navigate alternate mountain routes, or spurs, when primary paths are blocked by hazards like ice accumulation or rock instability. It addresses how to identify, assess, and safely traverse these routes, essential knowledge for mountaineers, climbers, and search and rescue teams. The book uniquely combines earth sciences, geography, and practical mountaineering techniques, emphasizing informed decision-making and risk mitigation. For example, understanding geological factors and weather patterns is crucial for evaluating a spur's stability. The book provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating spur routes, blending geological understanding, meteorological awareness, and climbing skills. It delves into mountain geomorphology, environmental factors causing route obstruction, and core principles of spur route selection, considering aspects like elevation and exposure. Analytical techniques, such as slope angle assessment and snowpack stability analysis, are detailed. The book progresses from foundational knowledge to practical application, culminating in best practices for safe traversal, including route finding and rope management. Through field research, case studies, and expert interviews, Spur Route Divisions bridges theoretical knowledge with practical application. It offers a systematic approach to spur route assessment, highlighting the importance of risk assessment and informed decisions in challenging mountain environments. The book's interdisciplinary approach provides a holistic understanding of mountain terrain and enhances the ability to navigate safely.

Blockchain: Everything You Need...

Cory Bowen

The World Is Undergoing a Deep 360° Revolution! Learn Everything You Need to Know About Blockchain In the past few years, the world has seen the tendency towards favoring decentralized systems, rather than depending on a central authority. The infrastructure that is allowing this revolution to take place is called Blockchain. What is it? In the words of Don and Alex Tapscott, two of the biggest experts in the cryptocurrency sphere, “The blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions, but virtually anything of value.” It is an extremely powerful concept, that permits to cut out every central system, using a relationship of trust instead. However, by diving deep inside this fascinating topic, it is easy to see that there is an entire part of blockchain that is not often discussed. This book goes into it and more!

Digital Capitalism and...

Sabine Pfeiffer

Are robots taking away our jobs? Those who ask this question have misunderstood digitalisation - it is not an industrial revolution by other means. Sabine Pfeiffer searches for the actual novelties brought about by digitalisation and digital capitalism. In her analysis, she juxtaposes Marx's concept of productive force with the idea of distributive force. From the platform economy to artificial intelligence, Pfeiffer shows that digital capitalism is less about the efficient production of value, but rather about its fast, risk-free, and permanently secured realisation on the markets. The examination of this dynamic and its consequences also leads to the question of how destructive the distributive forces of digital capitalism might be.

Anthropocene - A Very Short...

Erle C. Ellis

The proposal that the impact of humanity on the planet has left a distinct footprint, even on the scale of geological time, has recently gained much ground. Global climate change, shifting global cycles of the weather, widespread pollution, radioactive fallout, plastic accumulation, species invasions, the mass extinction of species—these are just some of the many indicators that we will leave a lasting record in rock, the scientific basis for recognizing new time intervals in Earth's history. The Anthropocene, as the proposed new epoch has been named, is regularly in the news. 
 
 
 
Even with such robust evidence, the proposal to formally recognize our current time as the Anthropocene remains controversial both inside and outside the scholarly world. Instead, the Anthropocene has emerged as a powerful new narrative, a concept through which age-old questions about the meaning of nature and even the nature of humanity are being revisited and radically revised. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction explains the science behind the Anthropocene and the many proposals about when to mark its beginning: the nuclear tests of the 1950s? The beginnings of agriculture? The origins of humans as a species? The Anthropocene remains a work in progress. Is 
this the story of an unprecedented planetary disaster? Or of newfound wisdom and redemption?
