Book excerpt: Snowboarding should be fun, especially when you're riding at Colorado's newest ski resort. Elks Run is located in beautiful Summit County. With its aspens, colorful wildflowers, and very tall mountains, it takes your breath away, or, if you aren't careful, your life. Dangerous Slopes is a story that underlines a conflict when society chooses pride and greed are chosen over safety and honesty. The result will most likely be a physical, financial, and psychological loss. Michael Doyle works as a computer consultant and part-time ski/snowboard instructor at Elks Run ski resort. He is struggling with being newly divorced. While women are easy to meet at the resort, he has a dilemma. He still has feelings for his ex-wife. Mike and Stanley, his trusted basset hound, unravel an unfortunate accident-or was it sabotage by environmentalists as the FBI suspects-on the resort's newest gondola lift. His friends are helpful, but he is on his own. He readily admits that he isn't Sherlock Holmes; however, with a little luck, anything is possible.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Development in Mountain Regions by : Georgi Zhelezov
Download or read book Sustainable Development in Mountain Regions written by Georgi Zhelezov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-05 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mountain regions in Southeastern Europe are unique natural regions of great beauty and ecological value, and home of the head waters of major rivers. They constitute a major ecological, economic, cultural, recreational and living environment in Europe, shared by numerous cultures and countries. The Southeastern European Mountain Regions are an important reservoir for biodiversity and habitats in Europe. A great number of protected areas – national parks, nature parks, reserves and nature monuments are located in these regions. From a socio-economic point of view the mountain regions are among the poorest areas in the Southeastern European countries, but they have potential for the implementation of successful economic activities. There are opportunities for development of these regions and, in particular, for trans-border integration and co-operation. This book brings together research results from experts from all Balkan countries working on the problems of the mountain regions in Southeastern Europe. The volume focuses on the challenges taking place along the rapid transformation in land use, biodiversity, tourism, nature risk and bio-productivity due to the global changes and particularly due to the local impacts of climate change. The key questions for discussion are: - Biodiversity, nature protection and conservation - Natural disasters and risk management - Social-economical development of the mountain regions - Spatial planning in the development of the mountain regions - Sustainable practices and politics for land use - Transborder co-operation.

Experience, Theory and Practice contains the invited lectures and all papers presented at the 12th International Symposium on Landslides, (Naples, Italy, 12-19 June 2016). The book aims to emphasize the relationship between landslides and other natural hazards. Hence, three of the main sessions focus on Volcanic-induced landslides, Earthquake-induced landslides and Weather-induced landslides respectively, while the fourth main session deals with Human-induced landslides. Some papers presented in a special session devoted to "Subareal and submarine landslide processes and hazard” and in a “Young Session” complete the books. Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice underlines the importance of the classic approach of modern science, which moves from experience to theory, as the basic instrument to study landslides. Experience is the key to understand the natural phenomena focusing on all the factors that play a major role. Theory is the instrument to manage the data provided by experience following a mathematical approach; this allows not only to clarify the nature and the deep causes of phenomena but mostly, to predict future and, if required, manage similar events. Practical benefits from the results of theory to protect people and man-made works. Landslides and Engineered Slopes.
