Sinopse

"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.

    The St. Croix River is a 169-mile ribbon of blue that cleaves the land between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Exploring the St. Croix River Valley provides a tour of the St. Croix Riverway and its 8,000-square-mile watershed. Environmental educator Angie Hong recommends specific places to explore the varied habitats and shows us myriad ways to get out and enjoy by hiking, paddling, biking, skiing, fishing, and more. As she travels from headwaters to tributaries, Hong takes in the Arcola High Bridge (with a side of freshwater mussel lore), searches for the perfect lakeside supper club, and talks to wildlife pros and volunteers restoring prairies, oak savanna, streams, and woodland habitats. 
     
     
     
    With stops at Standing Cedars Community Land Conservancy, Sunfish Lake Park, and the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest, listeners will learn about the landscape and its history—groundwater geology and riverside land formations, ephemeral wildflowers and forests lost to logging—and the local fauna such as skinks and osprey, red-headed woodpeckers, grouse, and elk. Along the way, Hong has her own stories to tell, from paddling the Namekagon and wild ricing on the Moosehorn to planting trees with school kids. With its mix of stories and practical information, Exploring the St. Croix River Valley makes an engaging companion for anyone venturing to this extraordinary place.
