As we begin to venture outside of lockdown, photographers of all
skill levels will be eager to capture the world around them. In
Decisive Moments, Andy Hall combines his photographic and teaching
experience by putting together a thirty year retrospective
collection of stunning images, each of which has a key learning
feature for photographers to reflect on. Throughout, Hall will
teach and inspire photographers of all abilities from beginners to
experienced practitioners and will help them to identify
photographic opportunities and make successful images consistently.
The advice is applicable to users of all types of cameras from
professional DSLRs to smartphones. This is a must-have book not
only for photographers who want to achieve their full potential but
for people who simply enjoy the visual world around them.
The purpose of this book is to showcase a range of approaches that
consider learning and collaboration as central processes in
agriculture and natural resources governance and management. These
include four related and overlapping adaptive collaborative
approaches - Adaptive Collaborative Management, Participatory
Action Research, Social Learning and Innovation Systems. Despite
these being generated in different institutional domains with
somewhat diverse epistemological and policy orientations, the
authors show that there are common themes among these approaches.
The book presents a review of various adaptive and collaborative
approaches to management developed to cope with the social and
biophysical complexity of natural resource systems, including case
studies from Bangladesh, Ecuador, Nepal and Zimbabwe. The contexts
range from farmer field schools, to floodplain management and
community forestry. The authors provide rich accounts of how
adaptive collaborative approaches were applied to synergise
different types of learning, foster collaboration among
stakeholders, and nurture innovative development processes. Through
its introduction and conclusion chapters, the book establishes a
clear theoretical approach and identifies a set of practical
methodologies for combining different systems of knowledge in a way
that generates and maximizes innovation and the translation of
research into practice.

Blueseason 2011-2012 is the sixth in a series of books chronicling
the season-by-season history of Carlisle United; Cumbria's only
representatives in the Football League for most of the last 35
years. Offering the official game reports for all first team games,
all the goals and gossip and a day to day account of a tense
promotion campaign, this is one book no member of the Blue Army
will want to be without.
In 1967, twelve young men attempted to climb Alaska's Mount
McKinley - known to locals as Denali, 'The High One' - one of the
most popular and deadly mountaineering destinations in the world.
Only five survived. Journalist Andy Hall grew up in the mountain's
shadow, the son of the ranger on duty at the time of the tragedy,
and has spent years tracking down survivors, lost documents and
recordings of radio communications to piece together the chain of
events. In Denali's Howl, Hall reveals the full story of an
expedition facing conditions conclusively established here for the
first time: At an elevation of nearly 20,000 feet, these young men
endured an "arctic super blizzard," with howling winds of up to 300
miles an hour and wind chill that freezes flesh solid in minutes.
All this without the high-tech gear and equipment climbers use
today. As well as the story of the men caught inside the storm,
Denali's Howl is the story of those caught outside it trying to
save them - Hall's father among them. The book gives readers a
detailed look at the culture of climbing then and now and raises
uncomfortable questions about each player in this tragedy. Was
enough done to rescue the climbers, or were their fates sealed when
they ascended into the path of this unprecedented storm?
