Review & Description

RVers that like to escape the winter weather of the northern states and Canadian provinces for the dry, sunny climate of the Southwestern Deserts are called "snowbirds." The four major deserts cover parts of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico, with most snowbirds heading for the prime--and warmest--deserts in the lower Mojave of Southern California and the Sonora of Southern Arizona. This book is a guide to what to expect in the dry climate of the winter deserts, including the birds, wildlife, trees, plant, and wildflowers that are unique to the deserts, and will point you to the millions of acres of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) where you can boondock free or cheap. It also provides tips on how to boondock, including management of your resources--water, electricity, and waste disposal--and provide numerous links to additional online information and sources .RVers that like to escape the winter weather of the northern states and Canadian provinces for the dry, sunny climate of the Southwestern Deserts are called "snowbirds."

Review & Description

U.S. Army Special Operations Forces Medical Handbook2001, is a comprehensive medical reference resource designed for Special Operations Forces (SOF) medics. This “single-source” reference provides many revolutionary approaches to accessing medical information, such as a treatment hierarchy based on available medical resources and mission circumstances commonly facing the SOF Medic. The Special Operations Forces Medical Handbook is an innovative achievement in military medical knowledge, with contributions by over 80 medical specialists organized into a problem-oriented template for reference to diagnoses and treatments.

Take a look at the sample for this book and for details about downloading 500 free US military manuals as a thank you for taking the time to look at our book.

Few in the civilian (or even military) medical profession ever are challenged with the conditions in which SOF medics practice medicine daily. The SOF medic still has the ultimate medical mission. Despite the proliferation of medical information, no single reference source has emerged addressing the varied and complicated needs of the SOF medic. As a result, conflicting information and even misinformation have created confusion over the most basic medical
questions, possibly endangering the lives of those we are committed to helping. The SOF medical community had to remedy this dangerous situation by creating a new SOF Medical Handbook, one that provides guidance to medics in our special environment, answering the hard diagnostic and treatment questions as best as possible. These answers are based on the best possible knowledge and tailored to the austere mission — in plain, straightforward language, without excuses, conditions or academic musings.U.S. Army Special Operations Forces Medical Handbook2001, is a comprehensive medical reference resource designed for Special Operations Forces (SOF) medics.

Publication Date: September 15, 2011

Buy new: $56.00

(Visit the Hot New Releases in Hiking & Camping list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)

Review & Description

Focuses on the inclusion of spiritual issues in the clinical social work process. Part of Advancing Core Competencies Series, a unique series that helps students taking advanced social work courses apply CSWE's core competencies and practice behaviors examples to specialized fields of practice. Integrating Spirituality in Clinical Social Work Practice: Walking the Labyrinth focuses on the inclusion of spiritual issues in the clinical social work process using the metaphor of the labyrinth to discuss the implementation of spiritual issues in the various phases of the treatment process -- engagement, assessment, intervention, endings, and more. It makes the clear distinction between the concepts of "spirituality" and "religion" and addresses sensitive issues such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, death & dying, trauma, gender and social justice. Learning Goals Upon completing this book, readers should be able to: * Understand how the labyrinth's cyclical nature resembles the therapeutic process and reminds us that our work with clients often includes moving towards and moving away before we achieve the goal * Acknowledge the importance of the sacred (therapeutic) relationship between therapist and client * Learn the importance of understanding our countertransference reactions, exploring our own beliefs and biases and reflecting on how they may affect our work. * Distinguish between the concepts of "spirituality" and "religion" Note: MySocialWorkLab does not come automatically packaged with this text. To purchase MySocialWorkLab, please visit: www.mysocialworklab.com or you can purchase a valuepack of the text + MySocialWorkLab (at no additional cost). VP: 0205206840 Read more

Review & Description

Combat operations in cold regions characteristically produce vulnerable flanks, rear areas, and lines of communication. Attacks against these kinds of objectives require fast, silent, oversnow mobility. Units on skis are best suited for deep penetrations followed by surprise attacks
against these targets.

Military skiing is a means of oversnow mobility which allows the soldier to traverse most types of terrain using standard equipment while carrying or hauling his basic fighting and subsistence load. In this manner, he can arrive at his destination prepared to accomplish any assigned mission.

Most military skiing. is done on flat or rolling terrain requiring the use of crosscountry (Nordic) skills. Tactical considerations sometimes dictate skiing down steep slopes requiring skill at downhill (Alpine) skiing techniques. Gaining and maintaining a downhill skiing capability within
military units present a major training challenge.Combat operations in cold regions characteristically produce vulnerable flanks, rear areas, and lines of communication.

Man vs. Wild: Survival Techniques from the Most Dangerous Places on Earth

Man vs. Wild: Survival Techniques from the Most Dangerous Places on Earth
by Bear Grylls

Buy new: $26.99 $17.81

(Visit the Most Gifted in Hiking & Camping list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)

Review & Description

In Man vs. Wild, Bear Grylls demonstrates all manner of survival techniques when faced with nature's extremes--from crossing piranha-infested rivers to fighting off grizzly bears. He shows us how, armed with the correct know-how and a determination to stay alive, all of us have the potential to beat the elements in even the bleakest of situations.

Bear Grylls is the ultimate modern-day adventurer. He spent three years with the British Special Forces (21 SAS), only leaving when a near-fatal parachuting accident broke his back in three places. Just two years later, Grylls followed his childhood dream and became one of the youngest climbers ever to reach the summit of Mount Everest. He is the host of the Discovery Channel series Man vs. Wild, where viewers tune in to watch Grylls show what it takes to find your way out of the most inhospitable places on earth with little more than the clothes on your back.

Now, in his book, he shows his millions of fans worldwide how to do what he does in an utterly entertaining crash course in surviving every kind of hard ecosystem--mountain, sub-zero terrain, jungle, desert, and the sea. Grylls takes readers on a journey to the corners of the earth and recreates disaster scenarios such as being stranded on a desert island or lost in the snowy Arctic. Perfect for armchair adventurers and extreme sports buffs alike, Man vs. Wild is destined to become a classic in adventure literature.

Prepare to learn how to ...

  • Snack on maggots
  • Dig yourself a shelter from the snow
  • Suck the fluid from fish eyeballs
  • Skin a snake and eat it
  • Use your own urine to cool yourself down
  • Live without your cell phone

"When disaster strikes and we find ourselves alone in an unknown and hostile environment, why do some people survive and others perish? Almost all of the most extraordinary tales of survival seem to involve an indefinable Ingredient X, which can only be understood as having its source in that mysterious entity, the `human spirit.'"

Review & Description

Field Manual (FM) 90-13 describes how divisions and brigades conduct river crossings. It shows the relationship to corps operations, where appropriate, and includes details for lower echelons to support the brigades. It provides doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures
(TTP) in one reference to accomplish this special operation.

The corps assigns missions and provides the necessary support and equipment. The divisions normally assign bridgehead objectives and control movement across the river. The brigades are the bridgehead forces that execute the crossings, either independently or as elements of a larger force.

River-crossing skills and knowledge are highly perishable. As with many other tactical operations, they require constant practice in planning and execution. There are relatively few opportunities to train with the frequency needed to keep a high degree of proficiency in this tough operation. For that reason, this manual includes considerable detail on techniques and procedures.

A river crossing is a special operation in that it requires specific procedures for success because the water obstacle prevents normal ground maneuver. It demands more detailed planning and technical support than normal tactical operations. It also features specific control
measures to move the force across a water obstacle. This obstacle may be a river, a lake, or a canal. Unlike other obstacle types, the water obstacle remains effective during and after the crossing operation.Field Manual (FM) 90-13 describes how divisions and brigades conduct river crossings.

Review & Description

Obesity is at epidemic levels worldwide. In the U.S. alone, it is estimated that by 2018 the cost of treating weight-related illnesses will double to almost $350 billion a year. A 2010 report by the U.S. Surgeon General estimates that two-thirds of American adults and almost one in three children are now overweight or obese. Similar statistics emphasize the staggering problem in other industrialized countries. This volume originated in a special 2009 symposium funded in part by a grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Development (NICHD) and sponsorship from Mars-Waltham™ on how human-animal interaction may help fight obesity across the lifespan. It provides systematic presentation of the scientific evidence for this powerful expression of the benefits of the human-animal bond. The volume will be especially valuable as a sourcebook of evidence-based studies for public health professionals treating overweight humans and veterinarians treating obese dogs.

Review & Description

More than 2,000 years ago, Cleopatra used freshly cut aloe vera leaves as a soothing burn ointment.
People of that period in history also commonly sipped tea brewed with white willow bark to relieve the pain of gout.
Why did it work?
Because that white willow bark contains a natural form of aspirin!
Modern medicine borrows heavily from plants in the never ending quest for improved remedies.
Of all the prescription drugs sold in the United States, an astounding one-third are derived from plants.
Approximately 80 percent of the world's people rely on folk medicine for treatment of their illnesses.
People in developing areas of the world depend wholly upon the sometimes strange practices of a local healer, medicine man or witch doctor.
Many of their plant concoctions are as effective as modern medications in the civilized world.
American Indians developed a vast expertise in plant medicines.
And early settlers from England and Western Europe brought to the New World their knowledge of medical treatment with plants.
Herbal home remedies were handed down in those families over many generations.
In Colonial days, no drugstores could be found on street corners and few, if any, trained doctors.
People were forced to rely on homemade medicines.
It goes without saying that the greatest pharmacy in the world is found in plants.
These plants have incredibly effective medicinal properties.
Plants can and should be utilized when faced with an emergency medical situation or where survival may be in question.
The Official Pocket Medicinal Plant Survival Manual is designed to show you exactly what to do.

Review & Description

A crackling fire, the smell of s’mores, an eerie howl in the distance. Refresh your childhood memories with some good old-fashioned horror stories that you can share with your kids. Former scout leader William Forgey compiled this collection of tales as a valuable resource for storytelling. With memorable plots and characters, each tale can be told around the campfire rather than read.

 

Campfire Tales includes seventeen original and classic tales bursting at the seams with ghosts, graveyards, and things that go bump in the night. A handy outline after each story assists in telling tales by firelight, and the book also includes ten tips that can make anyone a great storyteller.

Although commonly taken in steel traps, as described respectively in a later portion of this work, these animals are nevertheless often captured by Deadfalls and other devices, which are well known to the professional Trapper, and which serve excellently in cases of emergency, or in the scarcity of steel traps

Review & Description

How would you like to CONTROL EVERY SHOT you ever hit in golf?

After all... What good is hitting your tee shots longer, if you can't keep it in the fairway?

This book will show you exactly how to:
* Control the Spin
* Control the Curve
* Control the Direction

...of all your golf shots.

That means:
If you struggle with a SLICE, you will soon know how to fix it.
If you want to start the ball right and DRAW back into the fairway, you are about to master that too.

In fact, you'll learn there are only 4 things you can do with a golf ball... And understanding those will allow you to hit ANY SHOT you can imagine.

That's the reason why I call Perfect Shot Control the 'Greatest Secret in Golf'.

You see...

Every golfer who has ever set foot on the lesson tee in front of me has asked me to increase their distance. This is not only their driving distance, but also the distance they are seeking with every club in their bag.

Here is the amazing part of all of this. Just as soon as I have them hitting the golf ball farther the very next thing out of their mouth is this, “I know I hit it a lot farther, but it isn’t on target. It doesn’t do any good to hit the ball twenty yards farther if I don’t know where it’s going.”

Distance, distance, distance is all I hear, until the player realizes how important it is to be in control of the golf ball. The stark truth is being able to control the direction of your golf shots is far more important than hitting it a thousand yards. The problem arrives when we first envision our shots.
