Out of Mind
In 2015, climber and documentary maker Joe French was about to fulfil a dream of a lifetime – to climb Everest and film it. Then tragedy struck and Joe found himself at the epicentre of an earthquake which killed nearly 9,000 people. Only a few years previously, his team of Sherpa had been killed in another avalanche, and soon after that, Julie, his wife, was diagnosed with cancer.The accumulation of trauma took its toll: suffering from post-traumatic stress, Joe was haunted by the horrors he'd witnessed. In an attempt to find a resolution, he turned to his love of the outdoors. Running barefoot through the forests and glens around his house in Scotland, Joe discovered the means to find a return to health and peace of mind.
Highland Valentine
A Highland Secrets Story! Jules MacDonald thought her happily-ever-after was secure with her barbarian laird. She journeyed through time, to seventeenth century Scotland in search of her sister, and fell in love with Hugh MacDonald. Her forever started over a year ago when she decided to stay. Now she's expecting her first child, and can't be happier. The problem is her husband doesn't share her joy. After losing his first wife and wee son in childbirth, every day his sweet Juliette's stomach grows is proof of her probable demise. Memories haunt Hugh and he closes himself off from her, rather than deal with the pain. Jules is devastated by losing the man she loves, when he's right beside her. She seeks refuge with her sister's clan, the MacLeods, in an effort to bear her child where they'll both be loved and wanted. Hugh must face his worst fears to win back his wife and child before she flees to the future. Or will he be too late?
Scottish Rock
The best mountain, crag, sea cliff and sport climbing in Scotland. From the Foreword by Hamish MacInnes . "If you have an ambition to do all the climbs in these two Scottish Rock guides I think you'd better schedule time off in your next life. This labour of Gary's has been of gargantuan proportions. Those of you who use the guides will benefit by his dedication and the sheer choice offered; if you divide the retail price of these by the number of good routes you'll realise this is a bargain. Volume 1 covers a proliferation of Scottish crags up to the natural demarcation of the Great Glen. They are easier to access than most in Volume 2 and present infinite variety. I have been a long-time advocate of selected climbs and the use of photographs to illustrate both climbs and action. I'm glad that this principle has been used throughout these two volumes. It gives you a push to get up and do things. The list seems endless and if you succeed in doing half of them you'll be a much better climber and know a lot more about Scotland - have a good decade!"
Better Bouldering
This thoroughly revised and updated new edition of Better Bouldering presents all the techniques and tricks gleaned from the thirty-year bouldering career of John Sherman, America’s most noted and notorious bouldering guru. Sharing the most recent trends in techniques, equipment, and injury treatment and prevention, Sherman imparts his insider knowledge of the sport through colorful instructional text and “combat” stories from his own bouldering career—allowing both beginning and accomplished boulderers to learn from the author’s mistakes rather than their own. Among the guest contributors for this new edition are top boulderers Paul Robinson, the 2008 ABS national champion, writing on gyms and competitions; and Angie Payne, the first American female to climb V13, who shares a woman’s perspective on bouldering. More than 300 new color photos taken at the most popular bouldering locales throughout America and the world clearly demonstrate in dramatic fashion the concepts explained in the always entertaining text.
Highland Essence
Running from her past leaves her standing in her future... Alexandria “Lexi” MacLeod has had enough of her overprotective family, especially her mother. She’s tired of being seen as a child, and wants the chance to prove she’s an adult. Planning an escape to the Fae Realm, she uses the magical Faery Stones, only to awaken in the wrong century. Graeme MacDonald finds her naked and disoriented, and immediately wants to help her remember who she is and where she came from. Not to mention, the undeniable attraction that has his heart and his head reeling. He takes her to Dunvegan Castle, where she meets his grandfather. Lexi recognizes struggles between Graeme and his grandfather—they parallel her constant conflict with her mother. Maybe Fate brought her to the twenty-first century to mend their relationship, or gain a new perspective for her own. Lexi has the magic to return home at any time, but the draw and magnetism to Graeme has her in a constant battle between her head and her heart. She’ll have to decide if her Fate sides with her past or her future.

Kraft Pulp and Paper Mill Utilization Options for Grey-stage Wood
This study is part of a series of research papers that explore the biological, social, and economic aspects of British Columbia's mountain pine beetle epidemic. It examines lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) that has been attacked and killed by mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) and which goes through several stages (red and grey) following the attack. Wood moisture content decreases rapidly, typically to below fibre saturation point. As a consequence, the wood responds differently in both the chipping and pulping processes. Research on beetle-attacked wood has shown that many physical properties are not affected; wever wood-water interactions have not been studied in detail. In the two parts of this study, the sorption behaviour of beetle-killed wood in comparison to green wood is examined, and the influence of utilization of dry beetle-killed wood on kraft pulping operations and pulp quality is explored.--Includes text from Government of Canada publications site and from document.
