Synopsis

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.

    Our society has a technology problem. Many want to disconnect from screens but can't help themselves. These days we spend more time online than ever. Some turn to self-help measures to limit their usage, yet repeatedly fail, while parents feel particularly powerless to help their children. Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies shows us a way out. Rather than blaming users, the book shatters the illusion that we autonomously choose how to spend our time online. It shifts the moral responsibility and accountability for solutions to corporations. Drawing lessons from the tobacco and food industries, the book demonstrates why government regulation is necessary to curb technology addiction. It describes a grassroots movement already in action across courts and legislative halls. Groundbreaking and urgent, Unwired provides a blueprint to develop this movement for change, to one that will allow us to finally gain control.

    Destruction of 17th Century...

    In the mid-17th century, the heart of England fell victim to the mother of all epidemic catastrophes. The city of London was a ghost town, deserted by those who knew better than to hang around in a breeding ground that offered near-certain doom. Those who were confined within the city's borders had to make do with what they had, and the pitifully low morale seemed appropriate; the reek of rot and decomposition pervaded the air day in and day out, while corpses, young and old, riddled with strange swellings and blackened boils, littered the streets. For Londoners, to say it was hell would be an understatement.  
    With some bad luck and bad timing, a potential disaster awaited the city, and that finally came in September 1666. As it turned out, the Great Fire of London was so bad that one author who studied the blaze described it as “the perfect fire,” referring to the convergence in the largest city in England of spark, wood and wind in such a way that no one could stop the fire or even fight it effectively. John Evelyn, who had warned of the potential for a devastating fire given the layout of the city, noted that people seemed so stunned by the scope of the fire that they didn’t know what to do: “The conflagration was so universal, and the people so astonished, that from the beginning, I know not by what despondency or fate, they hardly stirred to quench it, so that there was nothing heard or seen but crying out and lamentation, running about like distracted creatures without at all attempting to save even their goods, such a strange consternation there was upon them.” 
    While the fire quickly spread throughout the heart of the city, the only thing that saved London’s suburbs was an ancient wall built around the city to keep the enemies of Rome out, not the fire in.  . By the time it was finished, most of the city’s homes and churches lay in ashes, and nearly 90% of the city’s citizens were left homeless.
