Summary

"Tough Jungle Hikes" offers a comprehensive guide bridging scientific research protocols with practical jungle navigation and survival skills in tropical rainforest environments. This methodical manual uniquely combines technical expertise with hands-on field techniques, making it invaluable for both researchers and advanced hiking enthusiasts venturing into challenging mountain terrains.

 
The book expertly weaves together three essential components: biodiversity survey methods, advanced navigation techniques, and crucial safety protocols, all while addressing the specific challenges of high-elevation rainforest exploration. The text progresses logically from fundamental expedition planning and gear selection through to advanced topics like quadrat sampling and species identification.

 
Drawing from extensive field research across South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, it provides real-world applications of scientific methodologies in challenging tropical environments. Particularly noteworthy is its integration of traditional compass-based navigation with modern GPS systems, offering readers a balanced perspective on both time-tested and contemporary exploration techniques.

 
What sets this guide apart is its practical approach to combining scientific rigor with survival skills, supported by detailed technical illustrations and case studies from various research stations. The book addresses specific challenges of mountainous rainforest terrain above 1000 meters elevation, providing specialized guidance for vertical navigation and elevation-specific biodiversity sampling.

 
Whether planning short-term surveys or extended research expeditions, readers benefit from comprehensive checklists, equipment maintenance schedules, and internationally aligned data collection frameworks that ensure both safety and scientific validity.

    In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact—and its potential for good. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford's zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities—from Baltimore to Chicago, Las Vegas to Minneapolis, and beyond. In Boston, a law fought for by a passionate group of organizers, farmers, and beekeepers is transforming the city into a haven for urban farming. In Tucson, zoning codes are mitigating the impacts of climate change and drought-proofing neighborhoods in peril. In Delray Beach, Florida, a new code aims to capture and maintain the town's colorful spirit through its architecture. 
 
 
 
With clarity and insight, Bronin demystifies the power of an inscrutable organizing force in our lives and invites us to see zoning as a revolutionary vehicle for change. In Key to the City, she puts forward a practical and energizing vision for how we can reimagine our communities.

    As an Emergency Medicine consultant in one of the busiest departments in the United Kingdom, Dr. Jonny Acheson loved his job. Fueled by adrenaline, he treated and cared for some of the sickest patients who came through the doors. 
 
In 2016, when he was forty-one, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, a progressive neurological condition for which there is no cure. 
 
He found it increasingly difficult to multitask in his fast-paced world. The environment that he thrived in made his symptoms worse. Parkinson's challenged his professional identity as an emergency doctor, and he didn't know what to do. 
 
When Your Neurons Dance is about how he is adapting over time with support around him—how he looked to the past to help him in the present, embracing change as new doors opened both inside and outside medicine. 
 
Ultimately as a doctor practicing with Parkinson's, he found a way to give back, despite a condition that always takes away.
