Sinopse

'Cold Weather Survival' delivers a comprehensive exploration of human survival in extreme cold environments, combining scientific understanding with practical skills essential for anyone facing sub-zero conditions. The book uniquely structures its approach around three fundamental pillars: thermal regulation, sustenance acquisition, and risk management, making complex survival concepts accessible to both novice outdoor enthusiasts and experienced wilderness professionals.

 
The content progresses logically from the science of human thermoregulation to practical applications, incorporating critical insights from multiple disciplines. For instance, readers learn not only about the mechanisms of hypothermia but also receive detailed guidance on preventing it through proper layering techniques and emergency shelter construction. The book draws from diverse sources, including military training protocols, indigenous knowledge systems, and modern rescue techniques, creating a rich tapestry of survival wisdom.

 
What sets this guide apart is its thorough integration of scientific research with real-world applications, presenting evidence-based strategies for surviving in sub-zero conditions. The book advances through chapters systematically, building from basic principles to advanced techniques while addressing crucial aspects like increased caloric demands in cold environments, avalanche risk assessment, and ice safety protocols. Through detailed diagrams and step-by-step procedures, readers gain practical knowledge that could prove lifesaving in both planned expeditions and unexpected winter emergencies.

Truth and Fantasy

Joram Piatigorsky

The 67 essays in Truth and Fantasy explore diverse themes from different perspectives based on the author's and narrator's experiences. The essays are neither comprehensive nor meant to argue forcefully for any single viewpoint. Rather, they are meant to stimulate and inspire additional thoughts and ideas. Beginning essays include musings on random thoughts on the power of silence and neutral and indifference. Subsequent essays emerge from a lifelong career in biology research and touch on whether the ability to evolve is an evolutionary trait. Other essays argue that the nature of intelligence and aesthetics can be traced throughout the animal kingdom, including even so-called "mindless" invertebrates. Challenging subjects are covered in essays about the foundations and meaning of creativity, considering even the role of boredom and imperfections as sources of creativity. Other essays deal with ambition and the relative significance of the buried streams of time between the specific, visible, highlighted episodes in life. The essays include reflections relating competitive tennis to general issues of life, express gratitude for 50 years of marriage, the miracle of having children and grandchildren, the positive nature of kindness, the despondence of losing a treasured wedding ring, and relief when it's found; art: how it's valued, the significance of authenticity, the importance of ambiguity, and the experiences of amassing a world-class collection of Inuit sculptures. Essays describe uplifting experiences and broadening horizons by traveling to exotic places – Israel, Iceland, Greenland, Portugal, and West Africa – and the nostalgia of returning after 40 years to the science laboratories in Puget Sound as a writer instead of a science student. Finally, essays maintain that aging need not dampen ambition and creative efforts but do not ignore the inevitability of death and its value in defining the marvel and privilege of life.

Urban Lowlands - A History of...

Steven T. Moga

Interrogates the connections between a city’s physical landscape and the poverty and social problems that are often concentrated at its literal lowest points.In Urban Lowlands, Steven T. Moga looks closely at the Harlem Flats in New York City, Black Bottom in Nashville, Swede Hollow in Saint Paul, and the Flats in Los Angeles, to interrogate the connections between a city’s actual landscape and the poverty and social problems that are often concentrated at its literal lowest points. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective on the history of US urban development from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, Moga reveals patterns of inequitable land use, economic dispossession, and social discrimination against immigrants and minorities. In attending to the landscapes of neighborhoods typically considered slums, Moga shows how physical and policy-driven containment has shaped the lives of the urban poor, while wealth and access to resources have been historically concentrated in elevated areas—truly “the heights.” Moga’s innovative framework expands our understanding of how planning and economic segregation alike have molded the American city.
