Sinopse

Thermal Vent Zones explores the extreme environments of underwater hydrothermal vents, where superheated, mineral-rich water creates unique ecosystems. These volcanically active areas present immense challenges for explorers, necessitating advanced technologies like thermal resistance suits and sensor guidance systems. The book highlights how human ingenuity and scientific understanding converge to enable safe and effective deep-sea exploration.

 
The book examines the geological processes behind vent formation and the innovative materials used in thermal suits, protecting divers from extreme temperatures. Sensor guidance systems, including sonar and temperature probes, are essential for mapping thermal gradients and navigating these complex landscapes.

 
Through case studies of actual vent exploration missions, Thermal Vent Zones demonstrates the symbiotic relationship between explorers and their technology, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in Earth Sciences, Oceanography, and Materials Science.

 
The book's structure progresses from introducing the fundamental concepts of hydrothermal vents to detailing the development and functionality of thermal resistance suits and sensor guidance systems. It culminates with an overview of practical applications, including scientific research expeditions and resource exploration, making it valuable for students, engineering enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the adventure of exploring extreme environments.

    A True Story Of Risk, Resilience and Survival 
    After a life-changing neck injury left him paralysed, Ed Jackson defied the odds to walk again. Driven by a renewed perspective on life and determination to push his limits, Ed set out to climb Himlung Himal—a 7,126-meter peak deep in Nepal’s Himalayas. But as the climb unfolded, what began as a daring expedition quickly became a test of survival. 
    Joined by fellow climbers Ben, Beetle, Arron, and their guide Bigraj, Ed faced extreme conditions—treacherous glaciers, near-misses, and snowstorms that prevented the team from summiting. When altitude sickness forced Ben to turn back, Ed made a fateful decision just meters from the top, realising that success wasn’t about reaching the summit but knowing when to stop. As they descended, the true danger revealed itself. 
    Stranded on the side of the mountain with no shelter, minimal food and water, and fading hope, the team endured a harrowing night, unsure if rescue would ever come. Isolated in the freezing wilderness, they confronted not only the unforgiving elements but their own fears, doubts, and vulnerabilities. With Bigraj’s courageous efforts and a helicopter rescue arriving the next day, the climbers narrowly escaped with their lives. 
    From the Mountain’s Edge is more than a tale of adventure. It’s a powerful story of resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity, the bonds forged through teamwork, and the courage it takes to recognise when a goal has stopped serving you. As Ed reflects on the perilous journey and the emotional toll it took, this book becomes a profound meditation on the strength it takes to walk away—and the lessons that come from facing life’s greatest challenges head-on. 
    Ed Jackson's From the Mountain’s Edge is a Sunday Times bestselling book that chronicles his journey from paralysis to scaling the Himalayas. This inspirational autobiography is a powerful blend of mountaineering, travel, and self-help, making it a must-read for those seeking motivation and a fresh perspective on life. 
    For fans of Sophie L Morgan (Driving Forwards), Nims Purja (Beyond Possible), Rachel Murphy (Loose Head), Levison Wood (The Art of Exploration), and Jerry Grayson (Film Pilot).

  • Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 - Highlands & southern Cairngorms: 64 routes designed to complete the 141 southerly Munros in the most efficient way - cover

    Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 -...

    Over 130 years ago, mountaineer Sir Hugh Munro published the first list of Munros – Scottish mountains with a height over 3,000 feet – and inspired the hobby of Munro 'bagging', a pastime which combines rugged adventure on a personal and literal journey around the Scottish Highlands with a nerdy compulsion to maintain a ticklist.
    Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 by Nicola Hardy (Munroist number 6,765) features 64 routes designed to link up the 141 most southerly Munros so you can enjoy the challenge of 'compleating' them at your own pace – over years, months or, in rare cases, even just a few weeks. It presents not only the most efficient routes, but does so in such a way that each route is a fantastic walk or run in its own right. The featured routes include the iconic Ring of Steall and Ben Nevis via the Carn Mòr Dearg Arête, alongside classic entry-level walks up the likes of Ben Chonzie, Ben Lomond in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and Mount Keen in the Cairngorms.
    To assist you in building an itinerary, the routes are split into ten Highland hubs which include Glencoe, Fort William, Braemar and Pitlochry. These are chosen to be easy to access and with decent public transport links to help you make environmentally sustainable choices when you can. Base yourself in a Highland hub for a long weekend or a lengthier stay, springboard to Munro routes from each hub and return to access the recommended local facilities including shops, pubs and cafes.
    In addition, the book is packed with useful information, including 1:40,000 scale maps, elevation profiles, route directions, public transport and parking details, refreshments, downloadable GPX files for each route, and custom timings for walkers, trekkers, fastpackers and runners. Along with stunning photography, there are rest day suggestions, accommodation ideas to suit multiple budgets and a series of supportive indices through which you can find suitable walks, whatever your current level of hillwalking experience.
    Whatever your timescale for compleating Scotland's Munros, Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 is the indispensable guide to this Scottish hill challenge.
