VITAL LIFE-SAVING KNOWLEDGE FOR ALL WATERBORNE PURSUITS Around ten people die from drowning every single day in the United States*. The danger to military personnel posed by bodies of water, whether during operations or training, is far greater and should not be underestimated. This Handbook equips the reader, military or civilian, with the ability to operate safety and effectively around water, whatever your activities. Throughout history, water has posed special challenges to Marines and Sailors during times of both peace and war. Therefore, the inherent dangers associated with waterborne operations demand that Marines and Sailors receive proper water survival training Combat units that are confident in their ability to work in and around water can use the water to their advantage in combat, and history is filled with examples of how the proper preparation or training for survival in water reduced or averted disaster. In particular, this unique Handbook covers areas of special interest and utility to those engaging in waterborne activities far from shore or assistance, such as: SURVIVAL IN OPEN WATER: Abandoning Ship - Surviving With a Pack - Staying Afloat With a Life Preserver - Avoiding Heat Loss in Cold Water - Drownproofing Methods - Survival Strokes WATER RESCUES: Reaching Rescue Techniques - Buddy Assist - Approach Strokes - Level-Offs - Rescue Techniques - Defense Against a Drowning Victim - Administering First Aid/Rescue Breathing TREATMENT OF CASUALTIES: Drowning - Hypothermia - Heat-Related Injuries - Burns - Common Medical Problems Associated with Sea Survival AVOIDANCE OF DANGEROUS MARINE LIFE: Sharks and Barracudas - Sea Snakes - Poisonous Fish - Turtles and Moray Eels - Corals - Jellyfish and Others - Spiny Fish, Urchins, Stingrays, and More NEGOTIATING WATER OBSTACLES: Tides - Surf - Currents - Back Bays - Rivers and Canals FORDING WATERWAYS: Selection of a Ford Site - The Buddy System - Water Crossings KNOT TYING Written by the most demanding of experts, with the benefit of decades of hard-won experience in combat and training operations around the world, this book is an investment in your future, and the future of those around you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this complete and thorough update of Arthur Boucot’s seminal work, Evolutionary Paleobiology of Behavior and Coevolution, Boucot is joined by George Poinar, who provides additional expertise and knowledge on protozoans and bacteria as applied to disease. Together, they make the Fossil Behavior Compendium wider in scope, covering all relevant animal and plant groups and all epochs, and providing a detailed review of animal and plant fossil behavior in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Fossil behavior encompasses not only past evidence of the life history of an organism but also behavioral, predation, and symbiotic interactions, including parasitism. This book compares patterns of behavior and coevolution in the past with those of the present-day descendants. It also discusses how to evaluate the rates of evolution of behavior and coevolution at various taxonomic levels. The compendium emphasizes the interactions between fossils and compares these interactions with present-day counterparts. It also provides new discussions on topics related to fossils in amber. Keeping Boucot’s trademark, easy-to-read style, the book includes new findings never published previously, reports not easily accessed, numerous examples, 40 tables, 285 illustrations—some published here for the first time—and a four-page color insert. The book provides a concise account of the evidence for varied disease types recognized to date in the fossil record.

Book excerpt: Unless you have unbeatable boatspeed, tactics are vital to winning sailboat races. Multi-champion, Nick Craig, shows you how to develop a strategy and what tactics to adopt on every leg and at every mark of the course. His first book, Helming to Win, was described as "original, thought provoking... like no other that has gone before it". He now turns his highly analytical mind to the subject of tactics. He discusses the inputs into strategy, starting and the race plan (going through each leg in turn). Nick then tackles mark tactics, covering every different type of mark, and fleet tactics on every leg of the course. He finally focusses on boat-to-boat tactics, again on every leg of the course. In each situation he covers attacking and defensive tactics, either to get ahead or make sure you stay ahead. Non-spinnaker, symmetrical spinnaker and asymmetric dinghies are all covered because Nick has won world or national championships in each of these types of boats. Having read Nick's first book many said that it had transformed the way they sailed. This book will have the same effect on your tactics and should see you moving up the leaderboard.
