Sinossi

"Rock Skipping" explores the surprising physics behind a seemingly simple pastime. It delves into how flat stones, when thrown correctly, can repeatedly bounce across water, defying gravity. The book investigates the science of stone skipping, from understanding angular momentum and the Magnus effect to mastering effective throwing techniques. Discover how even slight variations in stone shape or spin can dramatically affect the number of skips achieved. This book uniquely blends physics, sports science, and outdoor recreation, offering a comprehensive guide suitable for both casual enthusiasts and those interested in competitive stone skipping. It begins by tracing the history of the sport before transitioning into an accessible explanation of the underlying physics principles. Through clear diagrams and real-world examples, readers will gain insight into the forces at play. Progressing through the book, readers learn practical techniques, training methods, and strategies to enhance their skipping ability. "Rock Skipping" supports its arguments with established physics, fluid dynamics research, and insights from experienced skippers, providing a well-rounded perspective on this niche sport.

    Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner helped introduce the world to ultramarathoning. Now, after three decades of running ultramarathons across the globe, Dean Karnazes is still going strong. This updated and revised edition includes an afterword full of the lessons he’s picked  
    up along the way. He gives personal details on the essential pillars of health—fitness, diet, and sleep.  
     
    What does he eat, what supplements does he take, and what kind of mattress does he sleep on? Aging well takes work, and the man who hasn’t stopped is sharing the tips and learnings that have kept him going, mile after grueling mile. 
     
    Ultramarathon Man is Karnazes’ story: the mind-boggling adventures of his nonstop treks through the shoe-melting inferno of Death Valley, the lung-freezing ferocity of the South Pole, and the awe-inspiring beauty of the towering peaks and craggy canyons of the Sierra Nevada. 
     
    With an insight and candor rarely seen in sports memoirs, he reveals how he navigates the solitary, manic, self-absorbed life of extreme ultrarunning with a full-time job, a wife, and two children, and how running has made him who he is today: a man with an ironclad body, a teenager’s energy, and a  
    champion’s wisdom.

    Almost Somewhere - Twenty-Eight...

    It was 1993, Suzanne Roberts had just finished college, and when her friend suggested they hike California's John Muir Trail, the adventure sounded like the perfect distraction from a difficult home life and thoughts about the future. But she never imagined that the twenty-eight-day hike would change her life. Part memoir, part nature writing, part travelogue, Almost Somewhere is Roberts's account of that hike. 
     
     
     
    John Muir wrote of the Sierra Nevada as a "vast range of light," and that was exactly what Roberts was looking for. But traveling with two girlfriends, one experienced and unflappable and the other inexperienced and bulimic, she quickly discovered that she needed a new frame of reference. Her story of a month in the backcountry—confronting bears, snowy passes, broken equipment, injuries, and strange men—is as much about finding a woman's way into outdoor experience as it is about the natural world Roberts so eloquently describes. Candid, funny, and wise, Almost Somewhere not only tells the whimsical coming-of-age story of a young woman ill-prepared for a month in the mountains but also reflects a feminine view of nature. 
     
     
     
    This new edition includes an afterword by the author looking back on the ways both she and the John Muir Trail have changed over the past thirty years, as well as book club and discussion questions.
