Pages : 180
Book Description
* Gripping tales of tragedy and triumph in the mountains * Rescue stories through the eyes of a team member * Historical vignettes of Rocky Mountain Rescue on its 60th anniversary * Proceeds from the book go to support Rocky Mountain Rescue Pagers go off all over Boulder and programmers, grad students, accountants-men and women from all walks of life-drop what they are doing, grab their rescue gear, and head for the hills. Someone is in deep trouble in the mountains and the members of Rocky Mountain Rescue are ready to save a life. Playing for Real describes what goes through a rescuer's head, from the excitement of the initial ring of the pager to searching for and finding victims. The rescuer will share with you the challenges of stabilizing and preparing a critically injured victim for evacuation-moving the victim to emergency vehicles (sometimes down hundreds of feet of rock wall), and often dealing with death in remote, difficult terrain. Playing for Real is an evocation of the mountain rescue experience, a history of one of the finest mountain rescue groups in the country, and a celebration of 60 years of saving lives in the backcountry. Royalties from the sale of the book go directly to support the continuing operation of Rocky Mountain Rescue.

Pages : 140
Book Description
The development of the Western United States was an exciting and adventurous time in history. In Rocky Mountain Tales, author Arlene Pervin brings that history to life through this collection of eclectic stories. These stories tell of adventurers and entrepreneurs, hard-drinking men and gamblers, of fishing, cougars, and high-diving elk. "Bacon and Civilization" recounts a 1901 newspaper article that touted the role bacon played in society as the primary agent in the development of the country. "Camel Not" narrates the link between camels and tells the tale of these beasts in the Kootenay region; it reveals why the match between the camel and the environment was not to be. "The Mountain-Climbing Girl" relates the life of Mary Schaffer Warren who allowed her love of the West and her adventurous spirit of exploration to discover the jewels of mountain life. Rocky Mountain Tales reveals what life was like in the West through humor, political satire, and commentary via the writing of early newspapermen who lived and wrote of their time and place and dared to cross the line, in words, and in their vision for the West.
