Book Description
At sixteen, bivouacked on a mountainside beneath a sky filled with stars, Jean-Marc Rochette has already begun measuring himself against some of Europe's highest peaks. 0The Aiguille Dibona, the Coup de Saber, La Meije: the summits of the Massif des Ecrins, to which he escapes as a teenager, spark both exhilaration and fear. At times, they are a playground for adventure. At others, they are a battlefield. The young climber is acutely aware that death lurks in the frozen corridors of the French Alps.0In 'Altitude', Jean-Marc Rochette tells the story of his formative years, as a climber and as an artist. Part coming-of-age story, part love letter to the Alps, this autobiographical graphic novel captures the thrill and the terror invoked by high mountains, and considers one man's obsession with getting to the top of them

Guiding you to connect with your own truth, he helps you recognize you are not your emotions, mind, reactions, or ego.

YOUR ATTITUDE DETERMINES YOUR
Author: Yves Carrenard
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 9781498487122
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Everything that you do is affected by the attitude that you have. All that you do and say is being observed by others. The observation is being done when you are unaware. Someone is always watching you. Your example is so important. Godly attitudes lead to right choices. Ungodly attitudes lead to wrong choices. In this book I focus on eleven attitudes that God teaches about in the Bible. As we cultivate these attitudes we will see how God will bless us and make our lives successful. I look at faith, prayer, patience, obedience, meditation, humility, passion, forgiveness, gratitude, compassion and love. For each I give examples from the Bible of how God promoted the lives of those that developed one of these attitudes in their life. This book will help you to position yourself in God so that you can gain the altitude that God intended for you. Your attitude determines your altitude. A Godly attitude will enable you to become the person God intended you to be. Yves Carrenard is the Founder and Pastor of Rhema Ministry, He holds a Masters degree in Christian Counseling. He is certified as a Temperament Counselor, an active member of the American Association of Christian Counseling and National Christian Counselors Association. He is a family and marriage conference speaker. Author of two other books, Haitian Proverbs with a Biblical Perspective and Les Promesses a Condition De Dieu (The Promises of God with Conditions).

Dressing for Altitude
Author: Dennis R. Jenkins
Publisher: Government Printing Office
ISBN: 9780160901102
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 540
Book Description
"Since its earliest days, flight has been about pushing the limits of technology and, in many cases, pushing the limits of human endurance. The human body can be the limiting factor in the design of aircraft and spacecraft. Humans cannot survive unaided at high altitudes. There have been a number of books written on the subject of spacesuits, but the literature on the high-altitude pressure suits is lacking. This volume provides a high-level summary of the technological development and operational use of partial- and full-pressure suits, from the earliest models to the current high altitude, full-pressure suits used for modern aviation, as well as those that were used for launch and entry on the Space Shuttle. The goal of this work is to provide a resource on the technology for suits designed to keep humans alive at the edge of space."--NTRS Web site.

An Ecology of High-Altitude Infancy
Author: Andrea S. Wiley
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521536820
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Andrea Wiley investigates the ecological, historical, and socio-cultural factors that contribute to the peculiar pattern of infant mortality in Ladakh, a high-altitude region in the western Himalayas of India. Ladakhi newborns are extremely small at birth, smaller than those in other high-altitude populations, smaller still than those in sea level regions. Factors such as hypoxia, dietary patterns, the burden of women's work, gender, infectious diseases, seasonality, and use of local health resources all affect a newborn's birth weight and raise the likelihood of infant mortality. An Ecology of High-Altitude Infancy is unique in that it makes use of the methods of human biology but strongly emphasizes the ethnographic context that gives human biological measures their meaning. It is an example of a new genre of anthropological work: 'ethnographic human biology'.
