Rachel shares illustrated gripping stories of being out in the mountains, being stalked by a mountain lion, sleeping in the snow in -20 degrees, dodging an avalanche by split seconds and having to keep her cool when being rescued after an injury when skiing miles from anywhere.The book discusses the physics and biomechanics of balance and details the importance of the postural muscles (those that involuntarily control balance and stability). The exercises look very achievable whatever your current abilities may be, and I certainly think it is an excellent book for groups to learn from together.
