Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ---Technical Skills for dealing with the cold. This is a great book for anyone who wants to learn how to get along in the out of doors. It is principle based, meaning it helps you relate to this skills as a master would. Many times people are taught the technique only, and that is simple and providing everything stays the same it will work. Here's a technique for building a fire. A can of gas, and a match... what if you don't have a gasoline, or any other kindling or fuel? Well that happened to us. I was hunting with an Uncle who had put on several extra pair of socks because it was colllld. Pretty soon his feet got cold, but he didn't complain. Well, during a rest stop I noticed he was doing something off to the side. He had taken paper from his pockets and pushed in under some branches and lit it. Well, it started to going and he was warming his boots, but it started to die down, so he quickly looked for more wood, but was not able to keep it going. Again he did not complain, but a short time later he told me his feet were really really cold, and we needed to do something. Well, we pulled his boots off and put them on my stomach, and that helped some, but he was cold , we needed a fire. Only problem was we had no kindling. He had used what paper, and TP he had, I did not have any but we needed to start a fire? We put our heads together and this is what we figured out. We put the bullet of a cartridge in the end of the barrel and levered it back and forth to remove the bullet then we poured it on top of flat rock. We figured if we used several cartridges, or more, we would have a pretty good pile of rifle powder (rifle powder burn much slower than black powder, which would be tooo fast!) so we gathered branches and small limbs and piled them over the pile of powder. Then we made sure we had plenty of extra wood to add to it, once it started. Then we lit the powder. Sure enough it started the branches, and bigger stuff, and we had a good fire. Once he was good and warm we put one pair of socks on his feet and then his boots. The extra socks were too many, they squished the veins and prevented the blood from his warm torso, from going down to his feet. With one pair of thick socks he did much better than the three pair. There's lots to keeping warm... here's some other thoughts. Important skills that are "not" common knowledge. Coats do not warm us up, they prevent heat loss. If your feet are cold put on a scarf and a hat.... The head and neck are responsible for 50% to 75% of the body's heat loss; also they are most important if the body does not have heat to protect the brain, heart, lungs, etc., it surely won't send it down to your feet. Feet can drop to temperatures below 50° F. If the heart temperature drops to even 70° F chances are you have died. I mention many "principles" associated with cold conditions. Principles are the key to building predictable outcomes or results. Techniques change. For example: Transporting heat to your toes requires warm blood pumping through your arteries and veins. If you put on three pair of wool socks, on a cold day to keep your feet warm, but you use your everyday shoes, you will likely squeeze your feet so tight that blood will have a hard time keeping them warm.

Download or read book Home Fires written by Sean Patrick Adams and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2014-04-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Easily the most thorough and best-grounded account of the coal-based system of heating in the nineteenth-century United States . . . authoritative.” —The New England Quarterly Home Fires tells the fascinating story of how changes in home heating over the nineteenth century spurred the growth of networks that helped remake American society. Sean Patrick Adams reconstructs the ways in which the “industrial hearth” appeared in American cities, the methods that entrepreneurs in home heating markets used to convince consumers that their product designs and fuel choices were superior, and how elite, middle-class, and poor Americans responded to these overtures. Adams depicts the problem of dwindling supplies of firewood and the search for alternatives; the hazards of cutting, digging, and drilling in the name of home heating; the trouble and expense of moving materials from place to place; the rise of steam power; the growth of an industrial economy; and questions of economic efficiency, at both the individual household and the regional level. Home Fires makes it clear that debates over energy sources, energy policy, and company profit margins have been around a long time. The challenge of staying warm in the industrializing North becomes a window into the complex world of energy transitions, economic change, and emerging consumerism. Readers will understand the struggles of urban families as they sought to adapt to the ever-changing nineteenth-century industrial landscape. This perspective allows a unique view of the development of an industrial society not just from the ground up but from the hearth up. “This smartly written and well-informed book focuses on a subject that very few people think about—the history of home heating in America.” —Choice

Download or read book Survive written by Peter DeLeo and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2005-01-12 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The man who accomplished one of the most remarkable feats of survival in history finally tells the story of the event that made worldwide news. This inspiring story shows what sheer determination can achieve against impossible odds. When Peter DeLeo set out one Sunday morning on a sightseeing and photography trip over the central Sierra Nevada mountains in California, he had no idea that he would soon be fighting for his life with the odds stacked very much against him. DeLeo’s single-engine plane encountered turbulence, and he and his two passengers crashed in the mountains. All three survived the accident but sustained multiple injuries. DeLeo had broken ribs, a shattered ankle, and a badly damaged shoulder. After assessing their situation, they decided that the passengers should remain with the plane while DeLeo would hike out to bring back help. It was already winter; he left the limited emergency supplies with the plane’s passengers; and he was hampered by his injuries, but DeLeo was determined to get help. He found or improvised shelter at night, carefully warmed himself during the daytime, drank from small pools of melted snow and ice, and slowly but steadily made his way toward civilization. Suffering from exhaustion and on the verge of collapse, he found a hot spring that provided him with temporary warmth and insects to eat. Injuries, dehydration, malnutrition, and a two-day blizzard slowed him, and a rockslide nearly killed him just as he glimpsed the valley and highway that he so desperately sought, but DeLeo’s courage saw him through. Meanwhile, Civil Air Patrol planes searched fruitlessly for the lost plane and for survivors; twice, DeLeo frantically tried to signal the search planes, but to no avail. When DeLeo finally reached a highway, he found it almost impossible to convince the authorities that he was the lost pilot who had been all but given up for dead. His astonishing survival, one of the most remarkable feats of endurance on record, made national and even international news. Now, for the first time, Peter DeLeo tells his remarkable story in gripping detail. His amazing saga is destined to become a classic.

Here he attends Stone Academy and begins to uncover some of his own unique abilities, leaving him with even more questions than when he arrived. The resistance is finally gathering momentum as Besrymir accepts his place among their ranks. Has he learned enough to make a difference? Or will he be a beacon for dark forces to destroy everything and everyone he loves?

Download or read book Oral Literature for Children written by Aaron Mushengyezi and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2013 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first ever major effort to document and study hundreds of texts from an African (Ugandan) oral culture for children – folktales, riddles, and rhymes – and at the same time to make them available in the local Languages and to focus on their cultural and national value. The author surveys the history of collecting in Uganda and situates the texts in their broader geographical, historical, socio-cultural and educational Setting, including the early collecting efforts of heritage-minded Ugandans and European missionaries. Most of this preservational work is elusive and under-explored – so that the present book constitutes a major pioneering summary of Ugandan oral culture for children. The book addresses key questions such as: What happens when we collect, transcribe, and translate an oral text? How do we transfer components of the oral text to the page? What are the challenges of translating oral forms targeting specifi¬cally a child Audience, and what choices ought to be made in the process? The book provides possible ways of rethink¬ing the debate about orality and literacy as modes of representation – the generic interrelationship between the oral and the written text, and how the two can enter dialogue through transcription and translation. The latter are effective means to archive these oral forms for children and use them to promote literacy and numeracy skills in predominantly oral communities. In the current institutions of formal education in Uganda, this coexistence of orality and literacy is evident in the class¬room environment, where the oral text is turned into words on the page to encourage literacy. Through transcription, the collector is able to capture oral texts in other forms – audio, written, visual, and digital. With the new technologies available, the task is not as arduous as in the past, and the information thus captured is made available in all its wealth for purposes of instruction or entertainment.

Download or read book The Environment written by Philip W. Sutton and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-29 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are human societies changing the global environment? Is sustainable development really possible? Can environmental risks be avoided? Is our experience of nature changing? This book shows how questions about the environment cannot be properly answered without taking a sociological approach. It provides a comprehensive guide to the ways in which sociologists have responded to the challenge of environmental issues as diverse as global warming, ozone depletion, biodiversity loss and marine pollution. It also covers sociological ideas such as risk, interpretations of nature, environmental realism, ecological modernization and globalization. Environmentalism and green politics are also introduced. Unlike many other texts in the field, the book takes a long-term view, locating environmental dilemmas within the context of social development and globalization. The Environment: A Sociological Introduction is unique in presenting environmental issues at an introductory level that assumes no specialist knowledge on the part of readers. The book is written in a remarkably clear and accessible style, and uses a rich range of empirical examples from across the globe to illustrate key debates. A carefully assembled glossary and annotated further reading suggestions also help to bring ideas to life. The book will be a valuable resource for students in a range of disciplines, including sociology, geography and the environmental sciences, but also for anyone who wants to get to grips with contemporary environmental debates.
