Beschreibung

"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.

    Featuring excerpts from Terry’s very own Marathon of Hope journal, Hope by Terry Fox shares the untold story of a well known hero — the goofy, resilient, and courageous 21-year-old who rallied a nation behind his mission.
    		 
    In 1976, when Terry Fox was just eighteen years old, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and his right leg was amputated just above the knee. It quickly became his mission to help cure cancer so others would not have to endure what he had gone through. He dreamed up a Marathon of Hope — a fundraising run across Canada, from St. John’s, Newfoundland, to Victoria, British Columbia. 5,300 miles.
    		 
    When he set off on April 12, 1980, Canadians were dubious. But as he continued across the country, enthusiasm grew to a frenzy. Sadly, Terry’s cancer returned, and after 143 days and 3,339 miles, he was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope. He passed away in 1981, but the nation picked up his mission where he left off, and the annual Terry Fox Run has even spread to cities around the world, raising more than $850 million to date — well over Terry’s goal of one dollar for every Canadian.
    		 
    After conducting over fifty interviews with people throughout Terry’s life — ranging from his siblings, nurses, and coaches to volunteers during the Marathon of Hope — editor Barbara Adhiya discovers how Terry was able to run a marathon a day. Through their stories, passages from Terry’s marathon journal, and over 200 photos and documents, Hope by Terry Fox shows that with enough resilience, determination, humility, and support, ordinary people can do impossible things.
