Synopsis

Rapids Boat Capsizes delves into the high-stakes world of river rafting, examining accidents and survival strategies in extreme aquatic environments. This isn't just a collection of stories; it's an investigation into the mechanics of river mishaps and human behavior under pressure. The book highlights the critical role of understanding river dynamics, like how strainers can unexpectedly create deadly underwater traps, and the psychological factors that determine survival.

 
 The book progresses systematically, beginning with fundamental concepts such as river classifications and essential safety equipment. It then analyzes real-world accident scenarios and concludes with practical survival techniques, including self-rescue and emergency signaling.

 
 Drawing on accident reports, expert interviews, and scientific data, Rapids Boat Capsizes provides concrete guidance for improving safety and preparedness for all levels of rafters—from novices to seasoned guides. It underscores the importance of personal responsibility and proactive risk mitigation in water sports.

    The heroic story of how Sherpas stood up and took control of their destiny 
    Ever since Europeans started exploring the world’s highest mountains and trying to reach their summits in the early 20th century, Sherpas have been an integral part of mountaineering expeditions to the Himalayas. In this anthology curated from his popular Footsteps on the Mountain blog, Mark Horrell explores the evolution of Sherpa mountaineers, from the porters of early expeditions to the superstar climbers of the present day. 
    Writing with trademark warmth and humour, he starts by bringing to life the Sherpa characters of the early days, describing their customs and superstitions, and putting their contributions and achievements into context. 
    In the deeply personal second section of the book, he covers some of the conflicts of the 21st century, when a series of high-profile controversies highlighted the tensions between Sherpas and western climbers on Everest. He was a witness to a devastating avalanche in the Khumbu Icefall that killed 16 Nepali mountain workers and led to a labour dispute, and he describes the events that followed from a commercial client’s perspective. 
    In the final section of the book, he brings the story up to date and looks to the future, as Sherpas have moved out of the limelight of westerners, running successful mountaineering expedition companies and becoming celebrated climbers in their own right.

    A vibrant, meticulously researched celebration of the women and non-binary skateboarders who defied a hostile industry and redefined skateboarding around the world
    		 
    With enthusiasm and empathy, Girl Gangs, Zines, and Powerslides celebrates the relentless participation of women in skateboarding from the 1960s onward who defied a hostile industry to carve out their own space through underground networks. Skater librarian Natalie Porter presents interviews and meticulous research, including the DIY zines created by female and non-binary skaters as a means of communication, to expose this unacknowledged story while offering a personal narrative about the importance of community-building and validation, with or without your own video game.
    		 
    Girl Gangs, Zines, and Powerslides disrupts the image of skateboarding as an exclusive male domain, offering historical context for the seemingly rapid progress of female skaters today seen competing on the Olympic stage. Discover how the collective action of a grassroots movement in the 1980s established meaningful change, building a foundation that has led to greater inclusion and diversity, which has inspired women, girls, and non-binary youth worldwide to roll on a skateboard for the first time or rediscover their youthful obsession as an adult and feel inspired to drop once again.
