As a boy, Cauchy wanted to be a veterinarian, but he became a doctor, as well as a skier and mountaineer. He ultimately combined his work and hobbies as part of an emergency response team based in a hospital near Grenoble, France, and became one of the best-known mountain rescue doctors, serving as well as an adviser to films set in the mountains. Here, Cauchy presents an episodic account of rescues in which he participated. Many of these stories are humorous, others are harrowing. The same can be said of interactions between members of the response team and patients. Cauchy also presents scenes from his personal life, including befriending a little girl from Nepal. This is no textbook on a specialized aspect of medicine; rather, the emphasis is on the excitement of flying through the mountains in helicopters to save hapless skiers and climbers trapped in perilous situations. There are enough thrills and spills to attract readers with a taste for true-life medical thrillers and outdoors stories.Stephen Hupp, West Virginia Univ. Lib., Parkersburg
