  The St. Croix River is a 169-mile ribbon of blue that cleaves the land between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Exploring the St. Croix River Valley provides a tour of the St. Croix Riverway and its 8,000-square-mile watershed. Environmental educator Angie Hong recommends specific places to explore the varied habitats and shows us myriad ways to get out and enjoy by hiking, paddling, biking, skiing, fishing, and more. As she travels from headwaters to tributaries, Hong takes in the Arcola High Bridge (with a side of freshwater mussel lore), searches for the perfect lakeside supper club, and talks to wildlife pros and volunteers restoring prairies, oak savanna, streams, and woodland habitats. 
   
   
   
  With stops at Standing Cedars Community Land Conservancy, Sunfish Lake Park, and the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest, listeners will learn about the landscape and its history—groundwater geology and riverside land formations, ephemeral wildflowers and forests lost to logging—and the local fauna such as skinks and osprey, red-headed woodpeckers, grouse, and elk. Along the way, Hong has her own stories to tell, from paddling the Namekagon and wild ricing on the Moosehorn to planting trees with school kids. With its mix of stories and practical information, Exploring the St. Croix River Valley makes an engaging companion for anyone venturing to this extraordinary place.

  The playground of sport..
  
  How does efficient, effective and sustainable training really work?
  Especially in this day and age, when resilience and the immune system play a greater role than ever before, the contrasts on this topic could not be wider. There are countless "experts" who promise the moon. In no other area are there more of them - except perhaps in politics.
  
  Are content and form out of balance?
  Hopes, dreams and desires are processed for marketing purposes and spread like wildfire via social media channels.
  Each training method is yet more effective and efficient than the previous one, while taking less time. Self-proclaimed "biohackers" and people who have reinvented physiology are making utopian promises.
  It seems that human physiology has changed proportionally with the development of the internet, at least if you believe these promises.
  Human physiology has evolved over millennia and will not change significantly in the next hundred years.
  This book is not a training manual, it is intended to encourage reflection, questioning and scrutiny - whether in health sports, ambitious hobby sports or competitive sports.
  What conditions should be created? What do the many terms buzzing around mean? How does it all really work?
  These connections and backgrounds are explained both clearly and logically in this book - why one thing works and another can't work.
  Understanding the "why" is one of the most important prerequisites for functional, effective and sustainable training.
  Many achievements and medals are the product of a series of coincidences, which are not all that rare - which is why many training systems persist.
  
  The knowledge about the application of biological measurement data for physical training has been around for almost half a century - only the knowledge about the correct application is still largely a mystery.

  From the director of the wildly popular Bush Mechanics and Black As - a can-do guide for your next outback adventure filled with practical advice, ripper yarns and road-trip tips. 
    
  Driving around Australia is one of life's biggest adventures, if you're crazy enough to do it. But as anyone who has broken down on the Nullarbor can attest, it's nerve-wracking to head out into the big red. 
  David Batty knows how to get out of hairy situations because he's wound up in a bunch himself. From nearly being washed away by flash floods in the Kimberley to being marooned on an island in the Top End eating stingray, Batty's Bush Bible is chock-full of yarns from David's four decades as a film director in the most remote regions of Australia. He has lived in Alice Springs and Broome longer than he has in the Big Smoke, has traversed the Tanami Track between Alice Springs and Darwin hundreds of times and reckons he's done more laps of Australia than a Qantas plane. 
  This book also contains the wisdom of many of the First Nations people he has worked with throughout his career, including interviews with the original Bush Mechanics and Black As boys. You'll find out how they stuff blown tyres with spinifex, fashion mulga wood into gear sticks and keep cars going long after their used-by date - and learn how to have a whirl yourself. 
  Batty's Bush Bible is your guide to going bush and living to tell the tale. Filled with practical advice, ripper yarns and road-trip tips, it's designed to be picked up, put down, tossed in the glove box or, if you really need it, used for kindling to cook your tailgate dinner. So whether you're a grey nomad, living your best #vanlife or just looking to do a bit of imaginative armchair tourism, this book is your bible for how to stay out of trouble in the outback - and make your own.
