Ve svém živlu – Formánek Vítek (2023)

At a time when nuclear weapons are once again rattling and threatening the destruction of humankind, this book presents stories of people who have achieved something "in the realm of earthly elements." They focus on the opposite activity - not destruction, but creation from the gifts of nature. Whether it is creative work with metal (noble or recycled), wood, fire, or ice. Forty-five people from around the world, forty-five stories of human will, self-overcoming, respect, and humility towards nature, its beauty, resources, and gifts. Thanks to them, the reader will look to the bottom of the ocean, at sunken wrecks, into karst caves, into orbit, sail around the world, swim across the English Channel, climb the highest mountains in the world and ski down them, travel the world by bike, walk on a rope between the Twin Towers, build their own balloon, mini-submarine, make violins, stand at the North and South Poles, or guide in the Himalayas or photograph the Earth from a balloon or inside caves. Forty-five inspirations on how to do something positive in life and be IN YOUR ELEMENT.
