Adventure For Alison
by Elizabeth HowardAfter running away from their guardians to search for their older brother, Hugh, Alison and her twin, Gavin, find themselves aboard the Caroline, heading toward the colonies. They have heard that Hugh, because of his loyalty to the Stuart cause, has had to take refuge somewhere in the new world and they are determined to find him. It is not until they reach Boston that they realize they are to be sold as bond servants. Gavin is apprenticed to a bookseller and Alison is obliged to fit herself into the role of lady's maid to the spoiled Henrietta. Her life is no longer as carefree and easy as it was in Scotland, but her duties are not too difficult. After escorting Henrietta to Mrs. Bassett's school for young ladies she frequently has time to stop at the bookseller's shop to discuss plans with Gavin for finding their brother. On one occasion, while on an errand that leads her through Old Boston's narrow, winding streets, to her great dismay, Alison suddenly recognizes a familiar profile and she and Gavin are once more faced with the possibility of having to run away. Elizabeth Howard has chosen Old Boston with its busy streets and ship filled harbor for the background for this pre-revolutionary story and again she has created some convincing characters and an excellent plot. Ages 12-16

Adventure Psychology: Going Knowingly into the Unknown (Routledge Research in Health, Nature and the Environment)
by Eric Brymer Paula ReidIn recent years a new set of psychological principles has emerged from research investigating adventure and adventurous activities. Adventure involves a special type of physical activity in natural contexts where participants voluntarily participate in experiences where the environment and activity are challenging, perhaps dangerous and potentially life threatening. To go on an adventure is to participate in an enduring event requiring sustainable effort, where effective performance is measured not only by success but also by survival. This book brings together the emerging literature in ‘Adventure Psychology’ that supports enduring performance and wellbeing. The first section examines sustaining performance and wellbeing. The second section studies the transformative aspect of adventure. Adventure Psychology is of use in everyday life and the techniques and understandings can help people and business prepare for the future. This book will help us all thrive despite adversity, volatility and uncertainty. Written for trainers, educators, researchers and students of sports, performance and organisational psychology as well as adventurers and endurance athletes, Adventure Psychology is designed to meet the needs of specialists across a variety of fields but importantly also to be accessible and applicable for those wanting to live life fully — to realise our full potential.
