|summary=Forty-three-year-old Lydia Mason has earned some unflattering nicknames in her time as a corporate lawyer for London-based Vertigen. On a previous project the staff called her 'The Machine', and others sometimes refer to her as 'Ms Terminator' and 'Snow White'. She wears only black, white and grey, and she seems very mechanical in her devotion to her routines. This undoubtedly makes her very good at her job. 'When the chips were down and you wanted something done, you went to Lydia.' But certain details make you wonder whether this character is soulless: 'She had not cried since 1979' and 'She rarely listened to music; she considered it irrelevant. There was no soundtrack to her life.'

|summary= Chris Townsend has been ''Out There'' as a long distance walker for almost four decades. For most of that time he has been equally ''out there'' as a champion of the outdoors. He is the author of many books, many accounts of his treks, and his web site and blogs receive many thousands of visits. Here, for the first time, he gathers his thoughts and experience into a single volume, singing a hymn of praise for the Wild, and stirring defence against human predation.
