Summary

Emergency Snow Shelter offers a comprehensive guide to surviving in arctic conditions by mastering the art of snow shelter construction. It delves into the science behind snow properties, explaining how insulation, load-bearing capacity, and metamorphosis impact shelter design. For instance, understanding snow crystal structure is crucial because it dictates the snow's insulation capabilities, directly influencing warmth inside the shelter.

 
This book emphasizes practical, hands-on learning, combining time-tested indigenous knowledge with modern scientific research to equip readers with potentially life-saving skills. The book progresses methodically, starting with an overview of snow physics and thermal properties before transitioning into detailed instructions for building various shelters like the snow cave, quinzee, and trench shelter. Each method's advantages and disadvantages are explored, highlighting how environmental factors like wind and solar radiation affect shelter performance.

 
Emergency Snow Shelter distinguishes itself by providing a holistic understanding rooted in both tradition and science, offering a robust defense against hypothermia in emergency situations.

    Beneath the waves, one of Earth’s most extraordinary ecosystems is fading from colour to white. Coral reefs — the rainforests of the sea — are dying at an unprecedented rate, taking with them a quarter of all marine life and the livelihoods of millions who depend on them. 
    In The Last Coral, Alex Southwick journeys from the Great Barrier Reef to the islands of the Pacific, tracing the human and ecological story of the planet’s most fragile wonder. Through scientists, divers, and coastal communities, Southwick captures both the urgency of the crisis and the fierce devotion of those fighting to preserve what remains. 
    This is not just a tale of loss, but of endurance — of reefs regenerating in unlikely places, and of people refusing to surrender to despair. 
    Measured, moving, and unsentimental, The Last Coral asks what it means to love something vanishing — and whether that love might yet be enough to bring it back.
