Sinossi

Extreme River Crossings presents a groundbreaking analysis of river fording in mountainous environments, combining scientific principles with practical field expertise to create a comprehensive guide for outdoor safety. This innovative work bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, making complex hydrodynamic concepts accessible to outdoor enthusiasts while maintaining technical accuracy. Through a systematic approach, the book transforms traditionally experience-based river crossing techniques into a quantifiable science.

 
The book uniquely integrates multiple disciplines, from hydrology to materials science, progressing logically from fundamental water dynamics to equipment selection and real-world applications. It introduces readers to crucial concepts like flow rates, water pressure dynamics, and substrate composition, supported by extensive research across five continents and data from controlled testing environments. A standout feature is its proprietary flow-rate calculation method, specifically designed for mountain environments, which provides readers with concrete tools for assessing crossing conditions.

 
The content is structured to serve both technical and practical needs, incorporating detailed diagrams, mathematical models, and case studies from both successful and failed crossing attempts. While primarily targeting mountaineers, wilderness guides, and rescue personnel, the book's thorough approach to safety and decision-making makes it valuable for anyone venturing into mountainous terrain. Each chapter builds upon the previous, culminating in practical exercises and scenarios that allow readers to immediately apply their learning, making complex concepts actionable in real-world situations.

This Is Your Captain Speaking -...

Doug Morris

For everyone from frequent fliers to aviation geeks, travel buffs to nervous travelers, Captain Doug Morris tells you everything you want (and need!) to know about flight
		 
Captain Doug Morris has been writing for his airline’s in-flight magazine for 24 years and has answered a gamut of questions. This Is Your Captain Speaking will draw from his extensive experience and explain everything you ever wanted to know about airline travel: whether airliners have keys, why the bumps, what aircrew get up to on layovers, what’s the deal with “mile-high memberships,” and how to become a pilot. It also provides entertaining anecdotes from air travel’s unsung heroes — flight attendants. It’s the A to Z of airline travel with a twist of humor. The flight deck door will always be closed, but Doug exposes the unique inner world of aviation to the public.

Cloud Computing - The Definitive...

Craig Dames

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way businesses and individuals interact with technology, offering vast opportunities for scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency. At its core, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet, encompassing everything from servers and storage to databases and software. The concept has evolved over time, transforming from traditional IT infrastructure to highly dynamic and scalable cloud platforms that allow users to access resources on-demand.
The evolution of cloud computing dates back to the 1960s, with the concept of time-sharing and the idea of providing remote computing resources. However, it wasn't until the early 2000s that cloud computing began to take its modern form, largely due to the widespread adoption of broadband internet and advancements in virtualization technologies. Early pioneers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud laid the foundation for today’s expansive cloud services.
Cloud computing is grounded in several key concepts and terminologies that are important to understand for anyone delving into this field. At its simplest, it allows users to access and store data over the internet rather than relying on local servers or personal devices. This shift has been made possible by virtualization, a technology that enables the creation of virtual instances of physical hardware, allowing multiple users to share resources efficiently. Another fundamental concept is elasticity, which refers to the ability to scale computing resources up or down based on demand, a key feature that sets cloud computing apart from traditional IT infrastructure.

Planta Sapiens - The New Science...

Paco Calvo, Natalie Lawrence

An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. 
 
 
 
Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways. 
 
 
 
A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.
