Beyond Gorp by Yvonne Prater,Ruth D Mendenhall Pdf

* 133 recipes for camping and backpacking * Stories behind the recipes and the people who contributed them * Includes tips on outdoor cooking basics, food drying techniques, and trail food lore Some of the recipes in Beyond Gorp are prized for their camping and backpacking practicality. These include food such as Lead Bread (a brick-like loaf that will keep indefinitely and survive even an air drop). But then there are gourmet offerings (Cashew-Ginger Chicken and Rice and Trail Tiramisu) and ideas on preparing wild foods (Cooked Stinging Nettles). This cookbook is as much about the people behind the recipes and their adventures -- and misadventures -- in the outdoors. Hear the stories behind the titling of Angry Moose Scrambled Eggs and Poison Ivy Pesto with Shrimp. Learn why outdoor writer Tim Cahill needs Fat Cocoa to guarantee a warm night's sleep; understand the expedition fare philosophy of mountaineer Jim Whittaker; and why Celebration Cous Cous was special for writer-conservationists Laura and Guy Waterman. Each of these recipes has been tested by Mountaineers Books staff and friends.

Beyond Names for Things by Michael Tomasello,William E. Merriman Pdf

Most research on children's lexical development has focused on their acquisition of names for concrete objects. This is the first edited volume to focus specifically on how children acquire their early verbs. Verbs are an especially important part of the early lexicon because of the role they play in children's emerging grammatical competence. The contributors to this book investigate: * children's earliest words for actions and events and the cognitive structures that might underlie them, * the possibility that the basic principles of word learning which apply in the case of nouns might also apply in the case of verbs, and the role of linguistic context, especially argument structure, in the acquisition of verbs. A central theme in many of the chapters is the comparison of the processes of noun and verb learning. Several contributors make provocative suggestions for constructing theories of lexical development that encompass the full range of lexical items that children learn and use.

ONE DAY BEYOND THE TOP OF THE WORLD by Anthony Caine Pdf

After leading successful hedge fund companies for twenty years, Anthony "Tac" Caine experienced the most extreme business catastrophe imaginable. Hedge fund companies managed by Tac Caine with a twenty-year successful track record collapsed in only two days, resulting in losses exceeding $1 billion. In the midst of managing an onslaught of legal and business challenges, Tac realized he needed more. He needed a big, positive goal, something to shoot for that would motivate him. And there's nothing bigger than Mt. Everest. With humility, humor and emotion in a page-turner story, One Day Beyond the Top of the World captures the full Mt. Everest experience. Come alongside for the entire seven-week Everest expedition from training, trekking, acclimatization, living above 17,000 feet at Everest Base Camp, the full cultural immersion of the Khumbu Valley, and finally climbing each step from Everest Base Camp to the highest point in the world. There are failures, successes, anxieties and elation on the journey, and you will discover how Mt. Everest can draw tears from even the strongest climbers. And, you will see how a Sherpa guide can evolve into a lifelong friend. Happy and successful people are driven by planning-then executing -their next big goal. We should always be metaphorically looking One Day Beyond the Top of the World to set the next meaningful goal. What is the Everest in your life? Let Tac Caine's adventure guide you to reach your own summit!

Babes in the Woods by Jennifer Aist Pdf

* Addresses concern about "nature deficit disorder" in children * Offers a fresh, modern approach to hiking and camping with kids * Makes parenting a celebration of the outdoors and a sharing of traditions There's a lot of information out there about introducing school-age kids to the outdoors, but what about babies and toddlers? Author Jennifer Aist bridges that gap and shares her tried and tested advice for active new parents. Babes in the Woods introduces outdoorsy moms and dads to the joy and vigor of taking babies and toddlers into the woods at a very early age. Well-organized chapters offer functional solutions for appropriate gear, clothing, and food, nature games to play, and tips on potty breaks and sleeping outdoors-but most importantly, Aist explores all the reasons why introducing even the youngest of children to wilderness experiences is healthy, rewarding, and fun. Whether planning a short day hike, a car camping trip, a base camp adventure, or a backpacking excursion, Aist covers every season and climate, while confirming that babies are well-suited for the mountains, the water, and the adventures that lie beyond.
