They might be called to action to save the victims of a boat accident. They might be asked to search for survivors after an earthquake. They may need to rescue hikers trapped in a cave. Regardless of the job, search and rescue workers need to be brave, fit, and smart. Rescue operations are often hard to predict, adding a level of uncertainty to their daily work. Readers will be drawn in by the amazing photographs of search and rescue workers doing their job"--

Go find : my journey to find the lost --and myself / by Purvis, Susan,author.(CARDINAL)795305;
"Somewhere between hunting for gold in Latin America as a geologist and getting married to a new husband, thirty-three-year-old Susan Purvis loses her way. Susan comes to believe that a puppy and working on ski patrol at the last great ski town in Colorado will improve her life. When she learns about avalanches that bury people without warning, she challenges herself: ''What if I teach a dog to save lives?'' This quest propels her to train the best possible search dog, vowing to never leave anyone behind. With no clue how to care for a houseplant, let alone a dog, she chooses a five-week-old Labrador retriever, Tasha. With the face of a baby bear and the temperament of an NFL linebacker, Tasha constantly tests Susan's determination to transform her into a rescue dog. Susan and Tasha jockey for alpha position as they pursue certification in avalanche, water, and wilderness recovery. Susan eventually learns to truly communicate with Tasha by seeing the world through her dog's nose. As the first female team in a male-dominated search-and-rescue community, they face resistance at every turn. They won't get paid even a bag of kibble for their efforts, yet they launch dozens of missions to rescue the missing or recover the remains of victims of nature and crime. Training with Tasha in the field to find, recover, and rescue the lost became Susan's passion. But it was also her circumstance -- she was in many ways as lost as anyone she ever pulled out of an avalanche or found huddled in the woods. ''Lostness'' doesn't only apply to losing the trail. People can get lost in a relationship, a business, or a life. Susan was convinced that only happened to other people, until Tasha and a life in the mountains taught her otherwise."--Jacket.Last ditch effort -- Purple -- La Republica Dominicana -- Crested Butte Ski Patrol School -- Tasha -- Crested Butte Search and Rescue -- The student -- Ski patrol -- Snow burial -- Derailment -- Licking my wounds -- Ready and awake -- Wilderness and rescue medicine -- The real deal -- Searching for the lost -- Tests, tests, and more tests -- Worst avalanche disaster in a decade -- Death in the field -- All certified and nowhere to go -- A dog's nose -- Reeling in scent -- Cadaver dog boot camp -- Finding gold -- Practice makes perfect -- Second time up the mountain -- Finding my voice -- Barking back -- Go find -- Water mission -- A promise -- My Everest -- Buried alive.

"Trevor MacDaniel is a search and rescue volunteer whose need to guard and protect extends to his daily life. When he rescues a boy from a mountain lion, he forms a bond with Natalie Reeve, the sculptor next door whose gift is also a disability. Their relationship develops, but a reckoning draws near. Drawn by the heroic story of the boy's rescue on the news, a twisted mind recognizes its adversary in Trevor, like an archangel of stalwart size and righteousness. The threats Trevor receives chill him and those he cares about, but are, at the root, a cry for help. Jonah Westfall, chief of police, has not encountered a threat like the one approaching his town, Redford, Colorado. But he'll do whatever it takes to bring it down. The monster cries for help in the only way he knows how, by reenacting the nightmare that created him, hoping and praying each time for a different outcome. Trevor MacDaniel, strong in appearance, power, and righteousness, will provide him his final test"--

Gene and Sandy Ralston, a married Idaho couple in their mid 70s, are self-taught underwater search-and-recovery specialists who volunteer their time and equipment. And yet the Ralstons are counted among the best in the world. The Ralstons have an uncanny knack for finding bodies in deep water and can regularly find a missing person within hours, sometimes even minutes, of launching their boat. Law enforcement and emergency response agencies seek out their peculiar expertise, but when the Ralstons' home phone rings it's usually a family member of a missing person. Someone reaching out after the local police and volunteer groups have called off the official search. Someone who heard from a friend of a friend about a couple from Idaho who will travel thousands of miles at the drop of a hat — charging only their travel costs — to help complete strangers.
