Summary

"High Peak Ascents" delivers a groundbreaking examination of high-altitude mountaineering by seamlessly integrating scientific research with practical climbing expertise. This comprehensive guide focuses on three essential pillars: physiological adaptation, technical safety protocols, and psychological resilience, making it an invaluable resource for both experienced climbers and outdoor professionals interested in conquering peaks above 5,000 meters.The book uniquely bridges the gap between theory and practice by incorporating cutting-edge altitude research from facilities like the Pyramid Laboratory near Everest Base Camp with real-world experiences from professional climbers and medical practitioners. Through systematic progression, readers gain deep insights into critical aspects such as acclimatization strategies, the body's response to high-altitude environments, and evidence-based safety protocols developed in collaboration with international mountain rescue organizations.Each chapter builds upon established concepts while introducing advanced techniques, supported by clear explanations and practical examples. The text expertly addresses contemporary mountaineering challenges, from the role of supplemental oxygen to sustainable climbing practices, while maintaining strong connections with sports medicine, meteorology, and environmental science. What sets this work apart is its balanced approach to traditional mountaineering wisdom and modern scientific research, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of human performance under extreme conditions.

    Leaders, don't let AI get the best of you. 
 
 
 
AI is coming fast and will affect every part of a business, including the role of the leader. And up until now, leaders have largely ceded their role in the transformation—pushing determination of strategy out to tech teams and leaving investment decisions with groups that don't have a full view of the organization. Just when responsible leadership is more imperative than ever, leaders are not stepping up to understand and execute in the new world of human-machine collaboration. A generation of AI transformation failures awaits if leaders don't connect their use of AI to their strategies. 
 
 
 
This book helps leaders retake control of the wildly rapid deployment of AI across organizations. It outlines cleanly and concisely nine actions leaders need to take to successfully steward a transition to a more AI-centric future that will lead to growth for all—companies and workers—and avoid the kinds of mistakes that author David De Cremer has seen many early adopters already make. This is not a book about AI technology itself or the latest developments in machine learning but rather a clarion call for leaders to take their rightful place at the front of the AI revolution and lead their organization into the new world.
