Arctic Heart forges the natural world into a luminous classroom of soul. A decade before the Alaska pipeline, Shinan Barclay joined Iñupiat Eskimos creating thread from caribou tendons, mukluks and parkas from seal skin, and kayaks from walrus hides. Told with disarming innocence, this heroine's journey is an elemental tale of finding truths about human nature--that laughter, sharing and goodwill count far more than material possessions. Set miles above the Arctic Circle, nineteen-year-old Shinan Barclay encounters a mystical spirituality. In 1962, leaving her parents' home in Southern California, she answers a missionary's call to convert the "pagans" (Eskimos) of northern Alaska. During the dark months of winter she falls through the ice and undergoes a crisis of her cradle faith, resulting in a story few could tell. Irrevocably shaped by the Arctic and its native people, Shinan presents a moving portrait of her funny, difficult, and often confusing passage into adulthood. Layered with courage, kindness, and serendipity, Barclay's storytelling artistry extends from whimsy and candor to theological inquiries and socioeconomic insights. Arctic Heart authenticates a society unknown to most and illustrates cross-cultural respect. Flashbacks link to the shared youth of The Baby Boomers. Seventy-five chapters include vivid journal notes and letters written during that northernmost adventure as well as the author's photos, and an annotated bibliography. Widely published, Shinan Barclay's stories appear in Japanese, Portuguese, Czechoslovakian, French, and Spanish. She is the niece of world-renowned authors Rollo May (Love and Will) and Gerald G. May (Addiction and Grace).

From the author of the enduring classic The Solace of Open Spaces, here is a wondrous meditation on how water, light, wind, mountain, bird, and horse have shaped her life and her understanding of a world besieged by a climate crisis. Amid species extinctions and disintegrating ice sheets, this stunning collection of memories, observations, and narratives is acute and lyrical, Whitmanesque in breadth, and as elegant as a Japanese teahouse. “Sentience and sunderance,” Ehrlich writes. “How we know what we know, who teaches us, how easy it is to lose it all.” As if to stave off impending loss, she embarks on strenuous adventures to Greenland, Africa, Kosovo, Japan, and an uninhabited Alaskan island, always returning to her simple Wyoming cabin at the foot of the mountains and the trail that leads into the heart of them.

We all now know that the arctic is the canary in the coal mine of climate change, but that is only part of the story. As Alun Anderson reveals in this fascinating book, the melting snow and ice are now giving way to a much bigger story of battles over vast deposits of gas, oil and minerals, arguments over control of new sea lanes and disputes over access to huge new, untapped fisheries in rich, warming seas. The arctic has become a new frontier, where the future wealth and power of northern nations - including Britain - is being fought out today. From the titanium Russian flag that now sits on the sea bed beneath the North Pole to disagreements over where Greenland starts and ends, this is a topic that is only going to become more important. This compelling book reveals the full story of what is happening today in this most important of regions and what needs to be done to preserve it for all humanity - but also shows how the arctic will have its own revenge if we're unable to find a solution now.

Imagining the Arctic explores the culture and politics of polar exploration and the making of its heroes. Leading explorers, the celebrity figures of their day, went to great lengths to convince their contemporaries of the merits of polar voyages. Much of exploration was in fact theatre: a series of performances to capture public attention and persuade governments to finance ambitious proposals. The achievements of explorers were promoted, celebrated, and manipulated, whilst explorers themselves became the subject of huge attention. Huw Lewis-Jones draws upon recovered texts and striking images, many reproduced for the first time since the nineteenth century, to show how exploration was projected through a series of spectacular visuals, helping us to reconstruct the ways that heroes and the wilderness were imagined. Elegantly written and richly illustrated, Imagining the Arctic offers original insights into our understanding of exploration and its pull on the public imagination.

This book is an anthology of stories set in the background of 70s and 80s in which the author himself grew up. The Mendicant story deals with the vulgar display of riches by the rich and the humble helplessness of the poor in their living. The story justifiably culminated in both of their lives ending in the same plane as one . The story ’Love Diary 7’ is purely an emotional outburst of a traditional teenager in his love affair. The story’s evocative feelings well relates to every teenager of either sex of all the generations. The Fool’s money is all about the perils of trying to make easy money through gambling and how the protagonist was trapped in that vicious cycle. The Astrologer is about a boastful soothsayer who was cocksure about all his predictions but came a cropper about his own life in an anticlimax. The untouchable Chariot is about the fraternity that develops between two boys of different social backgrounds which ultimately roots out the scourge of untouchability in their village. An ‘Outré Love’ is an unusual love that is the fall out of the changing mores of our society. ‘The Penny pincher’ is all about proving the adage ‘ The penny you save is for others to spend’
