| The second edition of Land Navigation Handbook was published in July 2005 by Sierra Club Books. This classic title first came out in 1983 and has remained in print ever since. For this new edition, I completely revised the manuscript and added chapters on using GPS and mapping software. It contains 248 pages, with 22 new photos and 20 new illustrations, and about half the text is mine. | ||
| The Outdoor Knots Book was published in April 2004 by the Mountaineers Books. Intended for backpackers, climbers, and paddlers, this contains over 40 knots, with explicit instructions on tying methods and usage. 125 photos show step-by-step techniques for the most practical knots that any avid outdoorsperson should know. In addition, there is a great deal of information on selecting and using ropes and webbing. | ||
| Climbing: Expedition Planning was published in June 2003. Part of the Mountaineers Outdoor Expert Series, it's a detailed how-to for major trips to high peaks and remote places. There are 224 pages, with 87 photos (76 are mine), covering all aspects of planning and executing the adventure of a lifetime. Although Phil Powers is listed as the co-author, ninty percent of the text is by me. | ||
| Climbing: Training for Peak Performance, published in November 2002, is also in the Mountaineers Outdoors Expert Series. It contains 240 pages, with 96 photos and 4 anatomical illustrations, that cover nutrition, stretching, aerobic conditioning, and resistance training for all types and ages of climbers. This has been highly acclaimed by trainers, sports doctors, and some of the best climbers in the country. | ||
