Tells the fascinating story of the Red's climbing community through interviews with the people who lived that history and considers how sustainable ecotourism might contribute to the region economically.Rock Climbing in Kentucky's Red River Gorge documents, for the first time, fifty years of oral history from this famous climbing community. Through extensive interviews, Maples reconstructs the growth of rock climbing in the region—including a twice-failed dam project, mysterious first routes, unauthorized sport-route growth on public lands, and a controversial archaeological dig. The book details five decades of collaborations to secure ongoing access to some of the world's most beautiful and technically demanding routes and the challenges along the way.More than a recounting of the past, however, Rock Climbing in Kentucky's Red River Gorge uses the region's extraordinary history to argue that climbing has the potential to be a valuable source of sustainable economic activity in rural areas throughout Appalachia today and in the years to come. The book concludes by offering policy recommendations and lessons learned about building beneficial partnerships among climbers, local communities, and public land managers to encourage community development and ecotourism alongside preservation.

Knochengeflüster

Knochengeflüster

William R. Maples

Im Gegensatz zu Gerichtsmedizinern arbeiten Forensische Anthropologen nahezu ausschliesslich am Skelett. Sie verfügen über eine aussergewöhnliche Begabung: anhand eines Skeletts oder auch nur einzelner Knochen können sie Alter, Geschlecht, Herkunft und Todesart des Opfers bestimmen. In Knochengeflüster beschreibt William Maples seine vielseitige Arbeit, beispielsweise die Exhumierung der Zarenfamilie und die Aufklärung eines fünffachen Mordes in Florida. Maples' Leben gleicht einem Krimi: ständig ist er von Mord und Selbstmord umgeben, konfrontiert mit den Opfern. Er selbst bezeichnet sich als "Knochenleser", jemanden, der das "Flüstern des Todes" hört und versteht. Es mag paradox und vielleicht makaber klingen, doch Maples' Buch ist ein lebendig geschriebener Erlebnisbericht, ein begeistertes Plädoyer für die forensische Anthropologie. Patricia Cornwell, die Autorin der erfolgreichen Bücher über die Gerichtsmedizinerin Kay Scarpetta, schreibt zu diesem Buch: "Knochengeflüster ist ein Meisterwerk!"
