Download or read book Guardians of the Peaks written by Katherine M. Calvert and published by Rocky Mountain Books Ltd. This book was released on 2006 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountain rescue in western Canada developed through the Canadian Pacific Railway's use of Swiss guides to enhance the climbing experience in the early 1900s. These guides brought their knowledge of mountain rescue to the Canadian Rockies. As climbing gained in popularity with the emerging middle classes after the Second World War, tragic accidents became more common. Two accidents in 195455 (the deaths of a group of female climbers from Mexico on Mt. Victoria and a group of Philadelphia schoolboys on Mt. Temple) forced the government to develop a professional mountain rescue team through the Park Warden Service under the tutelage of Walter Perren (a Swiss guide and the father of mountain rescue in Canada). Perren essentially turned cowboys into competent rescue personnel, and the story takes off from there.Following five principal men through the first 50 years of mountain rescue in Canada, Guardians of the Peaks also looks at all aspects of the rescue experience. It is the story of personal tragedy and the ability of individuals to cope with this stress-laced, demanding occupation.

Download or read book Master of the Mountain written by Henry Wiencek and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there anything new to say about Thomas Jefferson and slavery? The answer is a resounding yes. Master of the Mountain, Henry Wiencek's eloquent, persuasive book—based on new information coming from archaeological work at Monticello and on hitherto overlooked or disregarded evidence in Jefferson's papers—opens up a huge, poorly understood dimension of Jefferson's world. We must, Wiencek suggests, follow the money. So far, historians have offered only easy irony or paradox to explain this extraordinary Founding Father who was an emancipationist in his youth and then recoiled from his own inspiring rhetoric and equivocated about slavery; who enjoyed his renown as a revolutionary leader yet kept some of his own children as slaves. But Wiencek's Jefferson is a man of business and public affairs who makes a success of his debt-ridden plantation thanks to what he calls the "silent profits" gained from his slaves—and thanks to a skewed moral universe that he and thousands of others readily inhabited. We see Jefferson taking out a slave-equity line of credit with a Dutch bank to finance the building of Monticello and deftly creating smoke screens when visitors are dismayed by his apparent endorsement of a system they thought he'd vowed to overturn. It is not a pretty story. Slave boys are whipped to make them work in the nail factory at Monticello that pays Jefferson's grocery bills. Parents are divided from children—in his ledgers they are recast as money—while he composes theories that obscure the dynamics of what some of his friends call "a vile commerce." Many people of Jefferson's time saw a catastrophe coming and tried to stop it, but not Jefferson. The pursuit of happiness had been badly distorted, and an oligarchy was getting very rich. Is this the quintessential American story?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "EMPOWERING...KINARI WEBB IS AN INSPIRATION." --BILL MCKIBBEN "A WONDERFUL BOOK." --JANE GOODALL A TIMELY, HOPEFUL MEMOIR ABOUT A WOMAN SPEARHEADING A GLOBAL INITIATIVE TO HEAL THE WORLD'S RAINFORESTS AND THE COMMUNITIES WHO DEPEND ON THEM Full of hope and optimism, Kinari Webb takes us on an exhilarating, galvanizing journey across the world, sharing her passion for the natural world and for humanity. In our current moment of crisis, Guardians of the Trees is an essential roadmap for moving forward and the inspiring story of one woman’s quest to heal the world. When Webb first traveled to Indonesian Borneo at 21 to study orangutans, she was both awestruck by the beauty of her surroundings and heartbroken by the rainforest destruction she witnessed. As she got to know the local communities, she realized that their need to pay for expensive healthcare led directly to the rampant logging, which in turn imperiled their health and safety even further. Webb realized her true calling was at the intersection of medicine and conservation. After graduating with honors from the Yale School of Medicine, Webb returned to Borneo, listening to local communities about their solutions for how to both protect the rainforests and improve their lives. Founding two non-profits, Health in Harmony in the U.S. and ASRI in Indonesia, Webb and her local and international teams partnered with rainforest communities, building a clinic, developing regenerative economies, providing educational opportunities, and dramatically transforming the region. But just when everything was going right, Webb was stung by a deadly box jellyfish and would spend the next four years fighting for her life, a fight that would lead her to rethink everything. Was she ready to expand her work to a global scale and take climate change head on?
Download or read book The Nephilim Guardians of the Veil written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2024-03-24 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nephilim Guardians of the Veil" The guardians of Nephilim keep the curtain between realms intact, but as it starts to fall apart, they face their toughest task yet. In Summary: The mythical story "The Nephilim Guardians of the Veil" takes place in a universe with two worlds: our own and a magical realm full of magic and wonder. There is a veil between this world and the other one that keeps them both balanced and in peace. These Nephilim are very strong beings that can control the elements, and their job is to keep this important barrier safe. Their careful watching keeps both realms safe by blocking the flow of magic into the human realm and keeping magical beings away. The peace of this coexistence is broken when the curtain suddenly starts to thin, showing a small but noticeable crack. Predators are drawn to this surprising weakness, which could upset the delicate balance between the magical and human realms. Strange and strange creatures come out of the crack, scaring and confusing people and pointing out a major problem for the Nephilim. A group of three young Nephilim—Aiden, Lina, Theo, and Zara—are given their biggest task yet. They are sent on a mission to find out why the veil is breaking down and fix it. The guardians each have skills in one of the four elements: air, water, fire, and earth. Their journey is full of challenges that will test their bravery, their abilities, and their bond as a group. They will have to go through beautiful, dark woods, cross rivers that whisper doubts, and climb mountains that represent their worst fears. It turns out that the Nephilim Guardians of the Veil are more than just guardians of the balance between worlds. They are also lasting symbols of hope and strength, ready to face any new problems with the same unwavering commitment and unity. The guards learn that their greatest strength is not in their individual skills, but in their unity as a group. They are able to get past problems and face the beast responsible for the veil's destruction thanks to their friendship and shared determination. Finally, the fact that they were able to fix the veil and defeat the beast shows how important courage is, how strong unity is, and how powerful cooperation is. Chapter 1: The Oath of the Guardians. The Nephilim Guardians were a separate group that lived in a world full of mysteries and wonders. These guards were not ordinary people; they were strong beings with amazing abilities. Every one of them could control one of the four elements, which were air, water, fire, and earth. They were put together in this group because they are brave, strong, and committed to keeping others safe. The veil, which was more than just a curtain or a piece of cloth, was an invisible wall between our world and a magical land full of magic, mysterious forests, and hidden secrets. It was their main job to keep it safe. It was beautiful in this realm, but its creatures would be dangerous if they were allowed to roam openly on human land. The Nephilim Guardians made a promise to protect the veil with their lives, fight any force that tried to destroy it, and keep the peace between the worlds no matter what. This promise was more than just a promise; it was a deep commitment that bound them to the veil and to each other. Like a well-balanced orchestra, the guardians lived in harmony with each other. Each watched over a different part of the screen to make sure there were no holes or breaks. They practiced hard, getting better at what they could do and building up their skills so they could handle anything. They spent their whole lives doing this job and were always on the lookout for any sign of trouble. They knew that even the smallest hole in the veil could let creatures from the magical realm into our world and scare and confuse people who weren't used to seeing them. It was clear that the guardians were strong because they worked together to achieve a shared goal and were never lonely because they had each other. The magical beings on the other side of the veil respected and thanked them, too. They knew how important the guards' job was and often helped them out when they needed it. The guardians took care of these riches and made sure that the magic from the other realm didn't get in the way of ours. In a way, they were the unsung heroes who kept the balance that let both worlds grow. Their story was about being brave, making sacrifices, and how friendship and trust can last a lifetime. They lived in a world where magic and truth lived together, and the magical realm was just beyond the veil. Chapter 2: A hole in the curtain. A small, almost unnoticeable hole appeared in the veil, the magical wall that separated the human world from a realm full of magic and wonder. Once upon a time, the Nephilim Guardians watched over this peaceful world. The guardians saw right away that this small crack was a cause for worry. They had sharp eyes and minds. They had always known that their main job was to protect this barrier, which was the link between two very different worlds. The break came out of nowhere, but it also showed that the barrier that had been there for hundreds of years could be broken. The guards gathered around the crack and carefully looked at it while discussing the best way to close it. But before they could come up with a plan, something even scarier happened: a small opening let strange creatures from the magical realm into the human world. These beings weren't bad, but they weren't supposed to be in our world either. Their strange habits and magical abilities fit in perfectly in their own world, but here they were, their actions were misunderstood, and they often caused confusion. In a world where magic was common, these creatures didn't understand how people lived. Some, like the sneaky pixies, couldn't help but play tricks on people who were easy to fool. Others, like the glowing will-o'-wisps, led people into the woods, where they thought it was all a game. And then there were the gentle but awkward giants, whose steps made people tremble, spreading fear and rumors of earthquakes. All of these events, even though they weren't meant to hurt anyone, made people feel even more uneasy and confused. These events were having an effect on the animals, even though they were magically skilled, they had no idea what kind of world they were in, and their actions, which were meant to be funny or just part of their nature, were making people feel bad. They saw the fear in people's eyes, the chaos caused by the magical creatures' good intentions, and the chance that this small crack would destroy the peace they had worked so hard to keep. The guardians knew they had to act quickly to restore peace and make sure the veil was fixed so that no one else could cross it. But this situation gave them a new challenge: they had to figure out how to fix the veil crack while also gently leading the lost creatures back to their realm. It took a lot of patience, understanding, and knowledge about both the human and magical worlds to do this job. The guardians felt more responsible for the worlds they protected and more connected to them as they worked to fix the crack and help the creatures get back home. When there was a hole in the veil, it taught them a lesson by showing them how quickly the balance they swore to protect could be broken. It also showed how important it is to understand and care about nonhuman beings when dealing with them.
