Synopsis

"Aerial Forest Glides" presents a fascinating intersection of adventure sports and environmental science, exploring how zip-line systems serve as both recreational attractions and valuable research platforms in forest canopies. The book masterfully weaves together three crucial elements: the engineering behind safety systems, the physics of aerial movement, and the ecological insights gained from accessing forest canopies.

 
Through detailed analysis of real-world implementations in locations like Costa Rica and the Pacific Northwest, readers discover how modern zip-line technology has evolved from basic rope-and-pulley systems to sophisticated computer-modeled mechanisms. The book progresses logically through three main sections, beginning with fundamental engineering principles of harness design and safety systems, followed by an in-depth exploration of flight physics and environmental factors affecting zip-line operations. The final section reveals how these aerial systems enable groundbreaking ecological research, offering unique perspectives for studying canopy-dwelling species and forest ecosystems.

 
What sets this work apart is its dual focus on practical application and scientific understanding, making complex concepts accessible while maintaining technical accuracy. This comprehensive guide serves multiple audiences, from adventure sports professionals to environmental researchers, providing both theoretical foundations and practical guidelines. The book's balanced approach addresses important industry debates about safety standardization and environmental impact, backed by evidence-based analysis and real-world case studies. Throughout the text, readers gain valuable insights into how materials science, meteorology, and biological research converge in the fascinating world of canopy zip-lining.

    Everest Revised & Updated...

    David Breashears, the first American to scale Everest twice, was a veteran of nine previous Himalayan filmmaking expeditions when he agreed to lead what became his most challenging filmmaking experience. The expedition was organized by large-format motion picture producer MacGillivray Freeman Films and comprised an international team of climbers. Their goal was to carry a specially modified forty-eight-pound IMAX motion picture camera to the summit of Everest and return from the top of the world with the first footage ever shot there in this spectacular format. 
    A stunningly illustrated portrait of life and death in a hostile, high-altitude environment where no human can survive for long, Everest invites you to join Breashears, his climbers, and his crew as they make photographic history. Author Broughton Coburn traces each step of the team’s progress toward a rendezvous with history—and suddenly you’re on the scene of a disaster that riveted the world’s attention. Everest incorporates a first-person, on-the-scene account of the most tragic event in the mountain’s history: the May 10, 1996, blizzard that claimed eight lives, including two of the world’s top climbing-expedition leaders. It is a chronicle of the courage and cooperation that resulted in the rescue of several men and women who were trapped on the lethal, windswept slopes. Everest is also a tale of triumph. In a struggle to overcome both the physical and emotional effects of the disaster on Everest, Breashears and his team rose to the challenge of achieving their goal—humbled by the mountain’s overwhelming power yet exhilarated by their own accomplishment.

    What is it about freezing cold water that draws people in? Throughout history, humans have gravitated to cold water swimming and celebrated its healing properties, calling it the secret to good health and serenity. Today, cold water swimmers gather in groups from Galway to Georgian Bay to jump into frigid waters for fun, competition, and even as a form of activism and protest.
    		 
    Kathleen McDonnell started swimming in Lake Ontario, infamous for its chilly depths, because it was close to home. As time went on she began to rely on a daily dip, even breaking through winter ice to raise her spirits and refresh her body. In this wide-ranging memoir, McDonnell shares her love of cold water swimming and the lessons she has learned from a slow and steady commitment to the waves.

    Since I started my website DreAllDay.com, along with all the YouTube videos, I have received many requests from players on playing pro basketball. And since the NBA has only so many positions, most of you know that overseas ball is a stronger possibility for you to continue your playing career, and it is: the NBA has 450 job positions while there are 10,000 players employed internationally (which includes Canada and Central and South America, which technically do not require going "over a sea" to get to, in case you cared).  
    Over the years I have compiled several guides and tips for players on how to get their careers started, what to expect on the way and once they are in the door, and how to handle themselves with the on- and off-court situations that come with it. Every guide comes from questions that players frequently ask me.  
    This guidebook is a compilation of all of those guides and tips in one place for your quick and easy reference. It should be noted that several, though not all, of the chapters of this book are based on the posts on the Guides & Tips page of my website, edited and updated for this guidebook.  
    If you take only one thing from this guidebook, know that professional basketball is a buyer's market: There are more candidates than there are jobs, so the people who do the hiring - the teams themselves - have the power. What this means for you is you need to make yourself stand out.
