Summary

Largest Waterfalls explores the mightiest cascades on Earth, moving beyond simple height measurements to examine water flow and width as key indicators of their true power.

 
The book emphasizes that volume, the amount of water surging over the edge, and width, the span of the falls, are crucial for understanding a waterfall's ecological impact and geological significance. For example, Boyoma Falls demonstrates immense volume, showcasing nature's raw strength, while Khone Falls extends impressively across the landscape, revealing a different kind of grandeur.

 
The book delves into the geological formations and hydrological processes that create these natural wonders, providing context for understanding their scale and influence. It progresses from introducing fundamental concepts to detailed case studies of representative waterfalls.

 
Largest Waterfalls connects Earth sciences, geography, and nature, offering a holistic perspective on these dynamic features and their importance in conservation and regional water resources.

The Adventurer's Handbook - From...

Mick MickConefrey

Combining The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook and Into Thin Air, award-winning documentarian Mick Conefrey's The Adventurer's Handbook draws lessons from the glory days of exploration.
What makes a good explorer? Adaptability, ambition, stamina, self-confidence, curiosity, optimism, authority—and fundraising ability. Though few of us will ever have to face a charging elephant, or survive solely on penguin stew, when it comes to project management, crisis aversion, or any number of everyday problems, there is much we can learn from the larger-than-life tales of the world's most famous adventurers.
Here, award-winning documentarian Mick Conefrey pulls practical advice from their original diaries and logs, like how to survive an anaconda attack (wait until it has swallowed your legs, then reach down and cut its head off), and how to keep morale up (according to Ernest Shackleton, "A good laugh doesn't require any additional weight"). In addition to the wonderful characters and stories, this book offers many lessons on how to set sail without a clear path home.
Answers to some important questions, courtesy of The Adventurer's Handbook:
* How many corpses are believed to be on Mt. Everest?
Answer: 120
* How is polar bear meat best prepared?
Answer: Raw and frozen.
* What do you do if attacked by a charging lion?
Answer: Stand very still and stare it down.
* What should you wear when crossing a desert?
Answer: Lots of layers—fabric absorbs sweat and prolongs its cooling action.
