Sinopse

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 Chemical History of A Candle

Michael Faraday

The Chemical History of a Candle is a series of 6 lectures on chemistry presented to a juvenile audience in 1848. Taught by Michael Faraday - a chemist and physist, and regarded as the best experimentalist in the history of science - it is probably the most famous of the Christmas Lectures of the Royal Society. Taking the everyday burning of a candle as a starting point, Faraday spans the arc from combustion and its products, via the components of water and air (oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon), back to the type of combustion that happens in the human body when we breathe. The final lecture "On Platinum" describes a then new method to produce large quantities of Platinum. It was delivered before the Royal Institution on February 22, 1861. (Summary by Availle.)
