The Hardest Winter by Carole Hamilton is a beautifully and realistically drawn novella, showing the hardships of farming life in Scotland today. Fiona and Drew live and work on a Scottish cattle farm. Beauty contrasts with the never ending chores and muck. Fiona is suffocated by the monotony of the endless tasks both in the farmhouse and outside. The continual preparation of meals, cleaning, feeding calves and helping with farm chores leaves her exhausted. At other times she is exhilarated by the magic of the changing seasons and landscape. Often she feels trapped in the repetitive, isolated environment that doesn't offer much scope for interaction with others. When she gets the chance to escape the mundane, her melancholy lifts. Birth and death infiltrate her life till the harshest of winters with painful circumstances arrive. With this adversity there is always hope of a new future just as winter will always turn to spring. The ritual of the farming year, ploughing, planting and harvesting are linked to love, loss and new life. Fiona's life is caught in this exquisite and intricate web.

A major new novel from the critically acclaimed author of IF THE INVADER COMES. The winter of 1962/63 was the coldest since 1740. From Boxing Day 1962 until March 1963, snow covered the whole of Britain. The sea froze. The Thames froze so hard that people drove cars across it. It was a winter of bizarre and wonderful detail: a poet was found frozen to death in Windsor, a car towed skiers across Ruislip Lido, a man resorted to digging up his carrots with a pneumatic drill, and a duck found frozen solid in a clay wagon was thawed out and brought back to life. Within this unreal, altered landscape the lives of sixteen-year old Alan Rae and twenty-six year-old Geoffrey Fairhurst collide.

The Coldest Winter in a Century is the epic sequel to Paul David Bauer's debut novel, Saint Ed. It brings the characters of Saint Ed forward into the winter of 1944-45 and World War II, with stories that reach from the bitter battlefields of Western Europe to the wilderness airbases of Alaska and to the horrors of wartime Moscow and the Eastern Front. Ed Rybowski is a company commander in the brutal battle of the Huertgen Forest. His best friend, Billy Randolph, is an intelligence officer on the staff of SHAEF in London, hiding his communist past. Mary Randolph, Billy's sister and Ed's estranged wife, is a rising bureaucrat in the Department of Interior back in Washington. Cathy Quinn, Ed's college girlfriend, is a nurse in an amputee ward of a Boston veterans hospital. All are changed utterly by the war. The Coldest Winter in a Century will be published in multiple volumes serially beginning in December 2013.

Up until now, the Korean War has been the black hole of modern American history. The Coldest Winter changes that, giving readers a masterful narrative of the political decisions and miscalculations on both sides. He charts the disastrous path that led to the massive entry of Chinese forces near the Yalu, and that caught Douglas MacArthur and his soldiers by surprise. He provides astonishingly vivid and nuanced portraits of all the major figures -- Eisenhower, Truman, Acheson, Kim, and Mao, and Generals MacArthur, Almond, and Ridgway. At the heart of the book are the individual stories of the soldiers on the front lines who were left to deal with the consequences of the dangerous misjudgments and competing agendas of powerful men. We meet them, follow them, and see some of the most dreadful battles in history through their eyes. As ever, Halberstam was concerned with the extraordinary courage and resolve of people asked to bear an extraordinary burden. Contemporary history in its most literary and luminescent form, The Coldest Winter provides crucial perspective on the Vietnam War and the events of today.

It’s Never Too Late to Top Your Personal Best. Both a riveting account of a life spent pulling off improbable triumphs and a report back from the front of the global-energy and natural-resource wars, The First Billion Is the Hardest tells the story of the remarkable late-life comeback that brought the famed oilman and maverick back from bankruptcy and clinical depression. Along the way, the man often called the “Oracle of Oil” shares the insights that have made him a legend–and describes the billion-dollar bets he is now making in hopes of securing America’s energy independence. “Sassy...breezes along...salted with earthy aphorisms.”—Bloomberg Businessweek “Boone’s analysis of America’ s energy situation is 100 percent on the money....The country should listen to him– now!” —Warren Buffett, chairman and CEO, Berkshire Hathaway “Self-deprecating and audacious...overall, it’s decidedly informative about the machinations of business.” –Dallas Morning News “A fascinating, eye-opening book by one of America’s greatest iconoclasts and entrepreneurs. Boone Pickens’ sense of daring and innovation has never been sharper.”–Steve Forbes, president and CEO, Forbes Inc., and editor in chief of Forbes magazine

"Since November of 2017 my dad has been going through a very difficult illness. I couldn't help but relate my experience in dealing with his illness to the very long winter we were having in Minneapolis. During a blizzard in mid-April I took photos of snow and wrote most of the text that became this zine. It was a way to help me process a very tough time"--Author's website.

'He appeared, without a word, in the tent's entrance, covered in ice. He looked like anyone would after spending over twenty-four hours in a hurricane at over 8,000 metres. In winter. In the Karakoram. He was so exhausted he couldn't speak.' Of all the games mountaineers play on the world's high mountains, the hardest – and cruellest – is climbing the fourteen peaks over 8,000 metres in the bitter cold of winter. Ferocious winds that can pick you up and throw you down, freezing temperatures that burn your lungs and numb your bones, weeks of psychological torment in dark isolation: these are adventures for those with an iron will and a ruthless determination. For the first time, award-winning author Bernadette McDonald tells the story of how Poland's ice warriors made winter their own, perfecting what they dubbed 'the art of suffering' as they fought their way to the summit of Everest in the winter of 1980 – the first 8,000-metre peak they climbed this way but by no means their last. She reveals what it was that inspired the Poles to take up this brutal game, how increasing numbers of climbers from other nations were inspired to enter the arena, and how competition intensified as each remaining peak finally submitted to leave just one awaiting a winter ascent, the meanest of them all: K2. Winter 8000 is the story of true adventure at its most demanding.
