Sinopse

Bicycle History explores the captivating journey of the bicycle, revealing its profound influence on society and technology. More than just a mode of transport, the bicycle sparked social change, impacting urbanization and even the women's suffrage movement. The book traces the bicycle's evolution from rudimentary wooden contraptions to today's sophisticated models, highlighting its role in sports, recreation, and broader historical trends.

 
Early bicycles like the "dandy horse" paved the way for innovations such as the high-wheel bicycle and the safety bicycle, each representing significant technological leaps. The book uniquely combines technological history with social analysis. It examines how the bicycle became a symbol of freedom and independence, influencing urban planning and military strategies.

 
Bicycle History progresses through different stages of the bicycle's development, from early prototypes to its impact on society and the rise of cycling as a sport. Readers will gain insights into the bicycle's impact on engineering, sociology, and urban studies, solidifying its place as a catalyst for social progress and a reflection of humanity's innovative spirit.

    The story of a climbing adventure gone wrong in a remote Alaskan mountain range, the impossible rescue attempt that followed, and the fraught cost of survival 
    In 2018, two couples set out on a climbing expedition to Alaska’s Hidden Mountains, one of the last wild ranges in North America. A rarity in modern climbing, the peaks were nearly unexplored and untouched, a place where few people had ever visited and granite spires still awaited first ascents. Inspired by generations of daring alpinists before them, the four climbers were now compelled to strike out into uncharted territory themselves. 
    This trip to the Hidden Mountains would be the culmination of years of climbing together, promising to test the foursome’s skill and dedication to the sport. But as the climbers would soon discover, no amount of preparation can account for the unknowns of true wilderness. As they neared the top of an unclimbed peak, rockfall grievously injured one of the climbers while he was out of sight, leaving him stranded and in critical condition. 
    Over the course of the next nine hours, the other three climbers worked to reach their companion. What followed was a pulse-pounding rescue attempt by Alaska’s elite Pararescuers in one of the most remote regions in the country—raising difficult questions about wilderness accessibility, technology’s role in outdoor adventure, and what it means to weigh risk against the siren song of the mountains. 
    With visceral prose, Michael Wejchert recounts the group’s rescue and traces the scars left in the wake of life-altering trauma. Weaving the history and evolution of rock and alpine climbing with outside tales of loss and survival in the mountains, Wejchert gives a full picture of the reward—and cost—of following your passions in the outdoors.

    'A must read for anyone with a passion for women's equality and sport.' -Sue Anstiss
    Voices from the Hills is the story of the barriers encountered by the first female fell runners who fought to participate in the early days of this male-dominated sport. Despite experiencing discouragement and resistance, these women responded with personal courage and self-confidence. Thanks to them, women now compete at traditional fell races, international mountain races and endurance challenges such as the Bob Graham Round in increasing numbers.
    Told predominantly through interviews with pioneering female athletes who recount their lives and running careers, this is the story of a fight for equality of opportunity and reward.
