Synopsis

"Cliff Descent Basics" is a comprehensive guide for climbers and adventurers aiming to master the crucial skill of safely descending cliffs. This book emphasizes that controlled descent is as important as ascending, focusing on techniques to minimize risks associated with rope entanglement and anchor failure. Did you know that belay points, the anchors securing a climber during descent, require careful construction and redundancy? Also, mastering rope management, including coiling and knot tying, is vital for smooth rappelling. The book adopts a step-by-step approach, beginning with essential climbing equipment and gradually building to advanced techniques for complex situations. It covers the construction of secure anchors, the proper use of descent devices like the ATC and figure-eight, and various rope management techniques. Practical examples of accidents caused by improper techniques are woven throughout, highlighting the importance of standardized procedures. The text progresses logically, starting with single-pitch rappels and advancing to multi-pitch lower offs, ensuring a solid foundation for safe cliff descent.

    A history of the engineering marvels behind one of America's most innovative and beloved entertainment experiencesWhen Disneyland opened to the public in 1955, it demystified the hidden world of factory automation through its extraordinary new attractions. In this fascinating book, Roland Betancourt tells the story of how the visionary engineers and designers at Disney transformed the technologies of the postwar assembly line into an entertainment experience unlike anything the world had ever seen.Disneyland and the Rise of Automation traces the origins and evolution of these technical innovations during the theme park's first three decades in operation, exploring how engineers reimagined the systems and machines of industrial manufacturing and the military. The magnetic tape used to test ballistic missiles was repurposed to animate the talking macaws in the Enchanted Tiki Room. Programmable Logic Controllers, widely used on automotive assembly lines, brought to life the spectacular rides of the Matterhorn Bobsleds and Space Mountain. Betancourt shows how these and other attractions helped to allay fears about automation and job displacement in 1950s America. Along the way, he situates Disneyland's remarkable creations within a broader history of the technologies that increasingly order and construct the world around us, from the Fordist factory to artificial intelligence.Essential listening for anyone interested in engineering, corporate histories, or popular culture, Disneyland and the Rise of Automation invites us to consider how technology and the logic of automation become integrated into our lives through entertainment.
