M. Atwater, The avalanche hunters. Philadelphia, Macrea Smith Co., 1968. (Russian translation: М. Отуотер, Охотники за лавинами. Изд. 2-е. - М., “Мир”. − 1980). A wonderful memoir, reminds a bit (in spirit, not style) Kipling’s The Head of the District and The Bridge-Builders. Contains examples of real-life problems—risking many lives to save one—with a consequentialist moral.
