Summary

Avalanche Trigger Points explores the intricate factors that lead to avalanches, emphasizing that these events aren't random but result from specific triggers acting on unstable snowpacks. It investigates how subtle shifts in snow layering, combined with terrain features and weather patterns, can create deadly conditions. The book uniquely focuses on these immediate triggers, offering a nuanced understanding of avalanche risk. Readers will gain insight into how the book progresses from fundamental snow science principles to detailed analyses of snow layering, terrain influence, and weather's role. For example, it explains how slope angle and aspect affect snowpack stability, or how rapid temperature increases can act as a natural trigger. By examining past avalanches and drawing on data from global research institutions, the book supports its arguments with empirical evidence. Ultimately, Avalanche Trigger Points aims to improve avalanche forecasting, risk assessment, and safety practices. This book provides actionable advice for professionals and recreationalists alike, making it invaluable for anyone navigating avalanche terrain and aiming to understand mountain ecosystems and snow science.

The Common Uncommon - A Forest...

Bernd Heinrich

From the renowned author of A Year in the Maine Woods, the intimate, thoughtful reflections of a lifetime spent observing the natural world. 
 
For forty years, Bernd Heinrich has been ensconced in the woods of the northern, or boreal, forest, a vast sea of spruce, fir, and larch in the mountains of western Maine. All life confronts vast and occasionally rapid environmental changes, as one day, and one season, is to the next a completely different environment. Heinrich's narrative illuminates the complete experience of his seasonal life―with the ups and downs of not just the leaves and snow, but also the problems, solutions, and frustrations of unblinking immersion in nature. He observes the "common uncommon" of spiders, ants, chestnut trees, porcupines, owls, and mice as his story branches out into five themes: Being, Becoming, Interbeing, Remembering, and Returning. The Common Uncommon is a narrative of small surprises in nature, some delightful and some―brought on by climate change―devastating, all seen through the sharp eye of a world–renowned naturalist.
