In Oceans Deep
In this masterful account in the spirit of Bill Bryson and Ian Frazier, a longtime deep-sea diver masterfully weaves together the science and history of Earth's last remaining frontier: the sea.In an age of unprecedented exploration and innovation, our oceans remain largely unknown, and endlessly fascinating: full of mystery, danger, beauty, and inspiration. In Oceans Deepcelebrates the daring pioneers who tested the limits of what the human body can endure under water: free divers able to reach 300 feet on a single breath; engineers and scientists who uncovered the secrets of decompression; teenagers who built their own diving gear from discarded boilers and garden hoses in the 1930s; saturation divers who lived under water for weeks at a time in the 1960s; and the trailblazing men who voluntarily breathed experimental gases at pressures sufficient to trigger insanity.Tracing both the little-known history and exciting future of how we travel and study the depths, Streever's captivating journey includes seventeenth-century leather-hulled submarines, their nuclear-powered descendants, a workshop where luxury submersibles are built for billionaire clients, and robots capable of roving unsupervised between continents, revolutionizing access to the ocean.In this far-flung trip to the wild, night-dark place of shipwrecks, trapped submariners, oil wells, innovative technologies, and people willing to risk their lives while challenging the deep, we discover all the adventures our seas have to offer -- and why they are in such dire need of conservation.

Understanding Your RV’s ”SHORE POWER”120-Volt Electricity
Fifth Edition. .- Welcome to an educational and entertaining encounter with your RV's 120-Volt Electricity. This Primer was explicitly designed to get all RVers thinking in a different direction. - Written for all RV enthusiasts, especially those who are: Initially "CONSIDERING" RVing, Just "BEGINNING" to RV, Have been "CAMPING for YEARS," or, Living the dream of "FULL-TIMING." .- The information within will clearly demonstrate that living with electricity in an RV is NOT the same as living with it in a house. It will explain why electrical "things" don't seem to function in an RV, the way you might expect them to (i.e., as they do in your home). .- Additionally, this Primer endeavors to help all readers establish a practical awareness of "basic" 120-Volt, RV Electricity. Principally, a knowledge level that will enable each reader to start thinking in terms of "electrical cause and effect"- thus preventing the proverbially frustrating, "OH, NO! NOW, WHAT?" when everything electric in the RV suddenly "quits," and you have no idea why? .- The included Editorial Comments embody the author's many years of hands-on experience: using and living in RVs, conducting the business of repairing RVs, and, also, specializing in educating the RV owners. .- The ladies are especially encouraged to read everything between this book's covers. Then, they will understand where their partner's logic went wrong, and confidently be able to "suggest" a different approach.
From Dumyat to Mont Blanc

From his experiences in Mountain Rescue Teams to not one but two successful attempts at Scotland's famous cross-country Ultimate Challenge, join Ian as he relates amazing stories of some of the most stunning places in the world.

Survive the Savage Sea
In June 1972, the 43-foot schooner Lucette was attacked by killer whales and sank in 60 seconds. What happened next is almost incredible. In an inflatable rubber raft, with a 9-foot fiberglass dinghy to tow it, Dougal Robertson and his family were miles from any shipping lanes. They had emergency rations for only three days and no maps, compass, or instruments of any kind. After their raft sank under them, they crammed themselves into their tiny dinghy. For 37 days--using every technique of survival--they battled against 20-foot waves, marauding sharks, thirst, starvation, and exhaustion, adrift in the vast reaches of the Pacific before their ordeal was ended by a Japanese fishing boat. The Robertsons' strong determination shines through the pages of this extraordinary book which describes movingly their daily hopes and fears, crises and triumphs, tensions and heartbreaks.

The Idea of Sport in Western Culture from Antiquity to the Contemporary EraTheIdea of Spor
In "The Idea of Sport in Western Culture from Antiquity to the Contemporary Era," Dr Saverio Battente examines the concept of sport as an element of Western culture. Sport has aided in structuring the collective identities that underpin individual civilisations in the West, and, far from being a merely marginal phenomenon, it has in fact been an essential feature of Western civilisation and culture from antiquity, in its various forms. The starting point of the book is the idea that there is a certain number of universal traits--unchanged across time and different cultures--underlying all sports, even if there are a series of entirely original elements with which sport has been linked over the centuries in specific civilizations. This volume thus makes a comparative analysis of the ancient, modern, and contemporary worlds and various national contexts; longues dur矇es (whose presence transcends anthropological and cultural barriers), divergences, and discontinuities pertaining to the concept of sport are identified and explored. The book also looks at the link between the rise of civilisation and the educational and training function of sport, as well as the connection between a culture's decline and a growing emphasis on sport as an element of entertainment and spectacle in and of itself.
