Sinopsis

Arid Zone Survival explores the critical challenges of living in arid environments, focusing on heat management and water sourcing. It highlights how understanding thermoregulation and mastering water conservation are essential for survival in these harsh landscapes. Interestingly, humans can lose up to 1-1.5 liters of water per hour through sweat in extreme heat, underscoring the urgency of effective hydration strategies. The book also examines how indigenous populations have developed unique survival skills over generations, offering valuable lessons in adapting to arid conditions.

 
The book provides a structured approach, beginning with the science behind human adaptation to heat and dehydration, before moving into practical water sourcing techniques, like solar stills and dew collection. It emphasizes sustainable practices, such as shelter design and waste reduction, to minimize water loss.

 
By integrating environmental science, geography, and human biology, Arid Zone Survival delivers actionable strategies for individuals and communities facing the growing challenges of climate change in arid regions.

    Sarah Robinson has been writing about witches for nearly a decade. But can the witches cast a spell to re-enchant her within the landscapes she calls home? In Witch Country, Sarah ventures over (and under) Britain's storied landscapes, with their rich witch heritage as her guide—from witch marks to hanging trees. Join her as she's led astray by witch hares and colt pixies and is inspired by sorceresses, wishing trees, and crystal caves. Meet whispering knights, sister trees, and ancient mother stones; discover modern-day witches and those whose lives were brutally ended during the witch hunts in this spellbinding exploration of fascinating folklore, harrowing history, haunting superstitions, and the magical places where they all collide. Journey with Sarah through the wheel of the year as she sets out on a monthly journey to discover places and voices across the British Isles, from Glastonbury to Lancaster, the New Forest to Edinburgh, that have been shaped by witch lore. She explores the landscapes where well-known witches from myth and history lived, including Sybil Leek, Gerald Gardner, Lilias Adie, Morgan le Fay, the Witch of Wookey Hole, the Pendle Witches, and many more. Unearthing the stories and spirits of place rooted in the land, you will discover that wherever you may roam, a little magic is never far away . . .

    Unlock the hidden rhythms of Russian conversation with A Language Learner’s Guide to Russian Idioms, narrated by Ernest Timkin and crafted by linguist Dana Levina. This audiobook isn’t just about memorizing phrases—it’s a cultural passport, revealing how Russians weave humor, history, and wisdom into everyday speech. Imagine transforming awkward pauses into confident exchanges by knowing when to say someone’s “counting crows” (считать ворон) instead of daydreaming, or calling out empty promises as “noodles hung on ears” (вешать лапшу на уши). Whether you’re a traveler aiming to navigate local markets without getting “led by the nose” (водить за нос), a student tired of “thumbing wooden blocks” (бить баклуши) instead of studying, or a professional striving to “take the bull by the horns” (брать быка за рога) in meetings, these idioms bridge the gap between textbook Russian and authentic dialogue. Each expression unfolds with vivid context: Learn why “walking on heels” (ходить по пятам) means relentless pursuit, how “sitting on needles” (сидеть как на иголках) captures nail-biting anxiety, and when to “keep your ear sharp” (держать ухо востро) in tricky situations. Perfect for learners craving cultural fluency, this guide turns idioms from curiosities into tools, helping you decode films, literature, and casual chats with ease. Dive in—before you know it, you’ll be swapping stale translations for phrases that make Russians lean in and smile. Удачи! (Good luck!)

    A galvanizing road trip across California's immense public wilderness from a beloved adventurer. 
     
     
     
    It all began with a camping trip. Outdoor enthusiast Josh Jackson had never heard of "BLM land" before a casual recommendation from a friend led him to a free campsite in the desert—and the revelation that over fifteen million acres of land in California are owned collectively by the people. In The Enduring Wild, he takes us on a road trip spanning thousands of miles, crisscrossing the Golden State to seek out every parcel of public wilderness therein belonging to the federal Bureau of Land Management, from the Pacific shores of the King Range down to the Mojave Desert. Over mountains, across prairies, and through sagebrush, Jackson unravels the stories of these lands. He tells of the Indigenous peoples who have called them home for millennia, of the extractivist threats that imperil them today, and of the grassroots organizers and political champions who have rallied to their common defense to uphold the radical mandate to protect these natural treasures for generations to come. For the adventurers, campers, explorers, map readers, road trippers, nature enthusiasts, and public lands lovers out there, The Enduring Wild is an indispensable invitation to know these places more deeply and to embrace our common inheritance.
