Another one I've recently enjoyed is "Godforsaken Sea" about the 1996 Vedee single handed sailing race. The author doesn't use the term, but he's obviously grasped the concept of risk homeostatis, as he contrasts the way today's racers, with their EBIRPs, survival suits, faxes, etc. sail further south into more ice-invested waters than earlier single handers, who knew they were truly alone (J. Solcum, F. Chitchester), would ever have dared.
