Sinopsis

Cliff Edge Slips explores the science behind slips and falls on hiking trails, focusing on how environmental conditions, human movement, and decision-making converge to create hazardous situations. It argues that falls aren't mere accidents but predictable events stemming from biomechanical vulnerabilities, environmental hazards, and cognitive biases. For instance, understanding how slope angle and surface composition affect balance is crucial. 

 
The book uses insights from physics, kinesiology, and environmental science to explain the mechanics of falls, providing a comprehensive understanding of risk mitigation. The book progresses systematically, starting with fundamental concepts of balance and gait, then examining the challenges posed by steep terrain and the impact of fatigue and cognitive biases. It highlights practical guidelines for fall prevention, such as proper footwear selection and effective use of trekking poles. 

 
By integrating biomechanical analysis with environmental science and cognitive psychology, the book provides a holistic view of fall causation, making it valuable for hikers, trail maintenance crews, and search and rescue teams alike.

The Grey Soul of London - An...

Robert Kingham

‘He who cannot find wonder, mystery, awe, the sense of a new world and an undiscovered realm in the places by the Gray’s Inn Road will never find those secrets elsewhere.’ – Arthur Machen 
The Grey Soul of London is an audio guided tour. Robert Kingham takes a walk across the worn and hollowed stones of the Angel and Clerkenwell districts of London in search of places that inspired the writer Arthur Machen (1863-1947). This was originally a historical guided tour commissioned for the Museum of London’s Urban Myths season in 2011. 
The Grey Soul of London has now been rewritten and expanded for 2023, with incidental music by Rich Cochrane. Everything you need in terms of directions and instructions is contained within the audio narrative, so you can just listen and walk. If you want, you can also find a map of the walk online at minimumlabyrinth.org, plus a picture gallery illustrating some of the people, places and events mentioned. 
‘It is a district both devious and obscure, and I suppose that its twisting streets and unexpected squares of dusty trees will all come to ruin before they are intelligently explored.’ – Arthur Machen
