Avalanche Essentials
Book (italiano):
Utah Avalanche Center director Tremper presents this risk assessment and management guide for winter recreation enthusiasts. The foundational three chapters discuss risk posed by overconfidence and cognitive heuristics, by the topography of the landscape, and by snow conditions. On-the-spot indicators of hazard and ways to avoid unnecessary risk are discussed. Emergency response in case of an avalanche and rescue technologies round out the book, concluded by a summary of decision-making considerations during outdoor winter activities. Photographs and diagrams illustrate the provided recommendations. Annotation ©2014 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
