Bøker av Jim Duff

Written by doctors with a wealth of experience, this book covers the fundamentals of wilderness first aid and medicine. Clearly referenced chapters describe both how to minimise risks (including the preparation of first-aid kits) and how to cope with accident or illness in remote settings, from diving to high altitude and from desert to polar.

This book of poetry by Jim Duff delves into topics of love, nature, religion, materiality, and mortality through the eyes of gods. Thoughts both existential and personal are expressed with passion, colour, and dazzling creativity as the gods of Love, Reason, Industry and Rhetoric lament and celebrate their work, and the sublime unpredictability they observe on Earth. As the stories of these gods, present in both masculine and feminine forms, personify the beauty and pain of nature into magnificent sentient forms, Duff's imagery is framed in a romantic, fantastical context which, contained in a structure of stanzas, convey the liminality and freedom of the Life at the heart of this book.
