Book excerpt: The Kolea (Pacific Golden Plover) leads a double life. From May to August it nests and raises its young on Alaska's chilly subarctic tundra. Come winter, just as its plumage turns from black and white to gold and brown, the kolea makes its way to Hawaii's distant shores, where it will remain for the next eight months before returning to Alaska. It undertakes this incredible journey of nearly 3,000 miles twice a year without stopping once to rest or feed. Amazingly, young kolea, left far behind on the Alaskan coast, find their way to Hawaii without any help from their parents. Those of us who witness the comings and goings of these amazing birds often wonder how they travel across thousands of miles of trackless ocean without losing their way. What signs or clues do they follow? Do they use the sun and stars as their guides? The ability of the kolea to navigate such a tremendous distance remains a mystery. In the first part of this book you will journey with the kolea from the treeless plains near the Arctic Circle, across the vast Pacific Ocean, to its warm and sunny winter home in Hawaii. The second part contains information on habitat, food, nesting and breeding, and the challenges facing scientists who study kolea migration. Both sections are clearly written and will engage and inform young readers.

Sims’s On Call in the Arctic, where the author relates his incredible experience saving lives in one of the most remote outposts in North America.Imagine a young doctor, trained in the latest medical knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment, suddenly transported back to one of the world’s most isolated and unforgiving environments—Nome, Alaska. Dr. Sims’ plans to become a pediatric surgeon drastically changed when, on the eve of being drafted into the Army to serve as a M.A.S.H. surgeon in Vietnam, he was offered a commission in the U.S. Public Health for assignment in Anchorage, Alaska.In order to do his job, Dr. Sims had to overcome racism, cultural prejudices, and hostility from those who would like to see him sent packing. On Call in the Arctic reveals the thrills and the terrors of frontier medicine, where Dr. Sims must rely upon his instincts, improvise, and persevere against all odds in order to help his patients on the icy shores of the Bering Sea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diary of a Fascinating Journey to Alaska and Hawaii... Let me share a few words about the book. America is a vast country filled with diverse natural beauty across various states. Among these, two exceptionally beautiful states or islands are Alaska and the Hawaiian archipelago. It was my privilege to visit these two places. My interest in Alaska began during my childhood through geography lessons. Hawaii, on the other hand, intrigued us endlessly. These two places are not just about natural beauty; they possess unique characteristics of their own. The inhabitants, their customs, attire, cuisine, religious practices, and language set them apart from many other places. I’ve spent nearly twelve days in Alaska, mesmerized by its natural beauty. From the vast mountain ranges to the tundra regions, Arctic areas, glacier landings, sea planes, cruises, and experiencing the ocean currents, I’ve tried to capture every experience in my book. I’ve endeavored to bring readers into that dream world. The extent of my success can only be judged by the readers. Including a few pictures will enhance the readers’ connection with the book. I’ve tried to provide information, but instead of burdening the book with facts, I’ve aimed to take readers on a journey with me. If through my writing, I can bring joy to a few travel enthusiasts, then my effort will be worthwhile. I’ve spent around 22 days touring the four main islands of Hawaii. The serene beauty of the Pacific Ocean, referred to as the queen or heaven of the tranquil ocean due to my son’s profound desire, urged me to take up the pen and sketch my experiences in diary form. I’ve attempted to convey the religious practices, deities, the spirit of aloha, language, and daily life of the Hawaiian islanders through words, trying to immerse readers in the essence of these islands. The abundant treasures of nature, the amalgamation of colors, scents, and flavors of these two places have been captured. I’ve wielded my pen as the only means to portray the unadulterated gift of nature. Perhaps it’s not an easy task, but I believe that with perseverance and sincerity, human endeavor, capable of winning the hearts of readers. I hope this composition, emanating from my heart, will resonate with the hearts of readers. I cherish the hope that I can do justice to the opportunity you’ve given me. I look forward to presenting more compositions to my readers. Countless thanks.

Download or read book Ice Bear written by Michael Engelhard and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prime Arctic predator and nomad of the sea ice and tundra, the polar bear endures as a source of wonder, terror, and fascination. Humans have seen it as spirit guide and fanged enemy, as trade good and moral metaphor, as food source and symbol of ecological crisis. Eight thousand years of artifacts attest to its charisma, and to the fraught relationships between our two species. In the White Bear, we acknowledge the magic of wildness: it is both genuinely itself and a screen for our imagination. Ice Bear traces and illuminates this intertwined history. From Inuit shamans to Jean Harlow lounging on a bearskin rug, from the cubs trained to pull sleds toward the North Pole to cuddly superstar Knut, it all comes to life in these pages. With meticulous research and more than 160 illustrations, the author brings into focus this powerful and elusive animal. Doing so, he delves into the stories we tell about Nature—and about ourselves—hoping for a future in which such tales still matter.

This book was released on 1999-05-03 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the performance and effectiveness of the Community Development Quotas (CDQ) programs that were formed as a result of the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996. The CDQ program is a method of allocating access to fisheries to eligible communities with the intent of promoting local social and economic conditions through participation in fishing-related activities. The book looks at those Alaskan fisheries that have experience with CDQs, such as halibut, pollock, sablefish, and crab, and comments on the extent to which the programs have met their objectivesâ€"helping communities develop ongoing commercial fishing and processing activities, creating employment opportunities, and providing capital for investment in fishing, processing, and support projects such as infrastructure. It also considers how CDQ-type programs might apply in the Western Pacific.

Book excerpt: In A Place Beyond, Nick Jans leads us into his “found” home—the Eskimo village of Ambler, Alaska, and the vast wilderness around it. In his powerful essays, the rhythms of daily arctic life blend with high adventure—camping among wolves, traveling with Iñupiat hunters, witnessing the Kobuk River at breakup. The poignancy of a village funeral comes to life, hordes of mosquitoes whine against a tent, a grizzly stands etched against the snow—just a sampling of the images and events rendered in Jan’s transparent, visual prose. Moments of humor are offset by haunting insights, and by thoughtful reflections on contemporary Iñupiat culture, making A Place Beyond a book to savor.
