"In the unlikely event of an emergency..." ...What would you do? This book is a manual for those unlikely emergencies, written by people who travel often. A book created by experts. A book that tells real stories. A book that deals with some of the scary realities of travel — from drug plants to kidnapping. In 2010 Craig Bidois, the Director of a security consulting company got in touch with a travel podcaster Craig Martin. Bidois was frustrated by the quality of travel safety information available to everyday travellers. Books were dull or out of date; magazine articles were so brief; blog posts sometimes giving dangerous advice. What could they do? Travel Safety: Safety Tips For Personal And Corporate Travellers was born out of this frustration. Finally a book written by experts — a consultant and a full-time traveller — that goes beyond cliches. But the important thing is that Travel Safety doesn’t leave you scared about leaving home. The authors’ love of travel really shines through, and their dry sense of humour shows its head as well. Travel Safety is a book that business people can read and put into practice, parents can buy for their children as they head off on their worldwide adventures, families can make use of as they go on vacation. Now you can travel around the world without fearing the people around you. You can immerse yourself in foreign cultures, secure in the knowledge that you can look after yourself. The world is a fantastic place. It's time to go and see it.

Because my time on the water is limited, I make a host of demands on my fishing experiences and that makes me rather particular about where I fish. That's why l go out of my way to seek mountain water, that glorious landscape found must often above 6,000 feet that offers the angler solitude, different type of challenges, and unspeakable beauty. In forest of Douglas fir and spruce, in rough-and-tumble canyons, in alpine meadows, and in mirror-surfaced glacial lakes I find the secret places that most anglers pass by on their way to some famous pool ....
Successful angling in mountain water relies more on technique and knowledge of trout habits than on equipment and fly patterns, and this guide provides expert advice to guarantee some memorable fishing excursions.

The guide offers tips on learning how to read the water, picking and presenting the proper fly, and choosing the most essential tackle and techniques.
For Martin, the joy of fishing mountain water is not only catching the trout, but enjoying the spectacular scenery and meeting the challenges of the sport. This guide will help all anglers successfully fish mountain water and savor the pleasures of high altitude fly fishing.
