Summary

"High Summit Climbs" delivers a comprehensive exploration of high-altitude mountaineering, focusing on the critical interplay between human endurance and extreme environments above 8,000 meters. The book uniquely combines scientific data with real-world expedition accounts to examine three fundamental aspects: physiological adaptation, psychological resilience, and technical expertise required for successful high-altitude climbing.

 
Through detailed case studies of climbs on legendary peaks like Everest, K2, and Annapurna, readers gain concrete insights into the challenges and decisions faced by mountaineers in environments where oxygen levels are merely one-third of those at sea level. The book's systematic approach progresses logically through three major sections: The Physical Domain, The Mental Game, and Technical Mastery. Each section weaves together cutting-edge research from sports medicine, environmental science, and cognitive psychology with practical applications for mountaineers.

 
Notable features include detailed analyses of oxygen saturation levels, weather patterns, and success-to-attempt ratios on major peaks, providing readers with quantifiable metrics to understand the challenges of high-altitude climbing. What sets this work apart is its evidence-based approach to mountaineering challenges, making it valuable for both experienced climbers and researchers in wilderness medicine.

 
The book tackles contemporary issues such as climate change impacts on climbing routes and overcrowding on popular peaks, while maintaining an objective stance supported by data from multiple scientific disciplines. This blend of technical accuracy and practical application makes it an essential resource for anyone serious about understanding or participating in high-altitude mountaineering.

    This rediscovered classic memoir tells the incredible tale of a woman defying society's expectations to find freedom and peace in the adventure of a lifetime. 
 
 
 
In 1934, the painter Christiane Ritter leaves her comfortable life in Austria and travels to the remote Arctic island of Spitsbergen, to spend a year there with her husband. She thinks it will be a relaxing trip, a chance to "read thick books in the remote quiet and, not least, sleep to my heart's content," but when Christiane arrives she is shocked to realize that they are to live in a tiny ramshackle hut on the shores of a lonely fjord, hundreds of miles from the nearest settlement, battling the elements every day, just to survive. 
 
 
 
At first, Christiane is horrified by the freezing cold, the bleak landscape the lack of equipment and supplies . . . But as time passes, after encounters with bears and seals, long treks over the ice and months on end of perpetual night, she finds herself falling in love with the Arctic's harsh, otherworldly beauty, gaining a great sense of inner peace and a new appreciation for the sanctity of life.

    In this incredible audiobook, we invite you to learn about the different methods of extraction and analysis of the main cannabinoids for the use of derivatives in the cannabis industry. 
Currently, about 113 compounds have been isolated from the Cannabis sativa species, among the most important are tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These phytocannabinoids are mostly present in the form of carboxylic acids and are located in the trichomes of this plant. 
To identify and characterize the chemical molecules present in cannabis, it is important to know how to select the most appropriate extraction method. This technique depends on parameters such as temperature, agitation speed, process time, particle size, and distribution to achieve the concentration of the different cannabinoids. Likewise, it is necessary to implement an analytical system for the determination of cannabinoids, thus increasing the reliability of the efficacy of the formulated products, whether for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, gastronomic, or textile industry.  
If you are interested in learning more about the latest techniques for the extraction and analysis of phytocannabinoids, we invite you to listen to this audiobook brought to you by Pharmacology University.
