The book deals with the role of social capital regarding its potential to increase small islands’ adaptive capacity to climate change. The case study of the Isles of Scilly, UK, shows how social structures can play a very important role for climate change adaptation. It is argued that social features have to be understood in a non-deterministic and potentially ambivalent manner, according to their place-specific geographical, cultural and historical context. Only then, risk management and adaptation strategies can succeed and function in a sustainable way. The findings have relevance for the further refinement of social capital theory and social emergence. Combined with the perspective of resilience, this approach is also relevant from a policy standpoint, given that small islands have been identified as hotspots not only due to their vulnerability, but also because they serve as examples for media and politics to advance the agenda of environmental protection. >

“Truly an epic of adventure and perseverance, this is great inspiration for anyone who thinks of someday tackling the impossible.” -- New York Times best-selling author Clive Cussler Try before you buy and download the first chapter for free from Rowing Into The Son. (Provide us with a little information and we'll send your download directly to your inbox) * Traces the struggle of the only American team competing in the first ocean rowing race from New York to England * The four young rowers spent 72 days pulling across the ocean * Author leaves for another cross-Atlantic adventure in December 2012 On June 10, 2006, college friends Dylan LeValley, Greg Spooner, Brad Vickers, and Jordan Hanssen stepped into a 29-foot rowboat as the only American competitors in the first North Atlantic Rowing Race, pulling across the northern ocean. From the first dreams of race planning to heaving through ocean waves, Rowing Into the Son: Four Young Men Crossing the North Atlantic takes the reader along with team Outdoor Adventure Racing (OAR) Northwest as they head out from New York Harbor, catch the Gulf Stream current, and make the final dramatic push for the finish line, a narrow 50-mile wide “gate” at Bishop’s Rock Lighthouse off the coast of Cornwall. Hurricane-level winds, giant eddies, passing freighters, flying fish, and sharks are all elements of the journey, and the race comes to a tense head on day 17 -- with another 55 days to go -- as the crew realizes their food supplies are running out and they must drastically restrict their eating. This is lead rower Jordan Hanssen’s intimate account of team OAR Northwest’s journey, set against the backdrop of Hanssen’s reflections on the teachings of both his stepfather and his biological father, who passed away many years previously. How Hanssen and his teammates cope within the confines of their tiny ocean rowing boat and their determination to push their limits will keep readers enthralled in this remarkable true tale of coming-of-age and adventure.

Gig Rowing is one of the country’s fastest growing water sports. It has its origins in the working boats of the Isles of Scilly. But when they were phased out, the Scillonians and the Cornish gradually adopted the gigs for sporting purposes. And over the last twenty years the number of clubs has mushroomed.Now there are clubs in Devon, Avon, Dorset and Wales and places as far afield as Boston in the USA, the Faroe Islands and Holland.The highlight every year comes on the May Bank Holiday weekend, very early in the season, with the World Championships on the Isles of Scilly. Now with more than 90 crews this has become as much a social event as a sporting one.There have been books about gig rowing before but they tended to be about the sport’s history, or about technical aspects. Dan Williams, an education worker in Falmouth and Truro and a member of Devoran Pilot Gig Club’s redoubtable B team, touches on these aspects but for him the camaraderie and parties are as important as which oar goes where.He recounts epic nights such as the one in Gorran Haven when his wife Anne, who as can be seen from the book’s title, is a fellow rower, became a champion “tosser”.
