It take place under very severe and often dramatic conditions like high altitude, snow and ice, crevasses, glaciers and avalances. It is the stuff of real heroic acts and romance. \nThe occassional demand for assistance, but on a larrge scale, is then often carried out by volunteers, mainly locals due to the demand for local area and climate knowledge. This book is mainly focusssed on the  Alps, but also visits outher European mountaineous areas.\nThe special conditions has led to the development of specialized equipment and the most visible is the widespread use of helicopters which have a high degree af maneouverability in inacessible terrain and ability to carry a payload.\nThe helicopter services work together with traditionsl ground based teams and sometimes move these teams to the search area. Helicopters swiftly move injured persons to a medicsl facility.\nProfessional mountain rescue services are quite common near tourist resorts like ski resorts where there is a regular demand.\nThe authors have made a similar book on American Air Rescue and the styles have both similarity and differences between the two continents.
