In 2003, Aron Ralston set off for a day's hiking in the Utah canyons. As he slid down and off of a boulder it shifted, trapping his right hand against the canyon wall. No one knew where he was. He remained trapped for five days in the canyon: hypothermic at night, de-hydrated and hallucinating by day. Finally, he faced the most terrible decision of his life: what to do to save his life.
This is the account of those five days, of the years that led up to them, and where he goes from here. It is narrative non-fiction at its most compelling.
The movie 127 Hours, directed by Danny Boyle, is based on this book.

Covering all the major fields—solar electricity, solar thermal, solar architecture, bioenergy, wind, geothermal, hydropower, as well as new energy technologies—it also includes sections on how best to promote the uptake of renewables and answers to common questions and opposition.
