Book Synopsis Beyond the Snow by : Christine Rawlins
Download or read book Beyond the Snow written by Christine Rawlins and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-08-28 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a much-needed study of a remarkable life. Elizabeth Goudge was not only a sensitive and acute artist in fiction, but a profoundly insightful commentator on the processes of growing up spiritually and morally. She fully deserves the kind of sympathetic and appreciative exploration provided by this book. Rowan Williams, 104th Archbishop of Canterbury Elizabeth Goudge once said she had done no exciting things - none of the wonderful things that some people do. Yet her achievement was wonderful. From the stuff of her own life even the hard things like depression and nervous breakdown, even the Christian faith that upheld her throughout she created best-selling books that were read, worldwide, throughout the forty years of her career and are still being read today. J.K. Rowling has said that her favourite childhood book was The Little White Horse - recently filmed as The Secret of Moonacre. Beyond the Snow is an appreciation of Miss Goudges life and work that attempts to look beyond her memoires, by linking them to her books and letters and the recollections of family and friends. It examines in particular her Christian faith and its illuminating influence on everything she did, and was. As Alan Walton said, reviewing The Joy of the Snow there is nobody like her.

Book excerpt: In this magical debut, a couple's lives are changed forever by the arrival of a little girl, wild and secretive, on their snowy doorstep. Alaska, 1920: a brutal place to homestead, and especially tough for recent arrivals Jack and Mabel. Childless, they are drifting apart -- he breaking under the weight of the work of the farm; she crumbling from loneliness and despair. In a moment of levity during the season's first snowfall, they build a child out of snow. The next morning the snow child is gone -- but they glimpse a young, blonde-haired girl running through the trees. This little girl, who calls herself Faina, seems to be a child of the woods. She hunts with a red fox at her side, skims lightly across the snow, and somehow survives alone in the Alaskan wilderness. As Jack and Mabel struggle to understand this child who could have stepped from the pages of a fairy tale, they come to love her as their own daughter. But in this beautiful, violent place things are rarely as they appear, and what they eventually learn about Faina will transform all of them.
Download or read book Dragons in the Snow written by Ed Power and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2020-08-12 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Power sets the reader down in the midst of a February 2017 blizzard that raked Utah’s Uinta Range as nine snowboarders made their way into the backcountry for a day of intense adventure. As the boarders were taking their first turns, expert avalanche forecaster Craig Gordon was tracking the storm and its impact, posting one of the most dire avalanche forecasts and warnings in his career. In Dragons in the Snow, Power delves into the research and science behind avalanche forecasting and rescue, weaving in the art of backcountry skiing as well as dramatic tales of avalanche accidents, rescues, and recoveries. And he paints compelling portraits of the men and women who have made the study of avalanches their life’s work. The tales told by these avalanche forecasters, as well as the stories of the backcountry riders who may "wake the dragon" make for not just a compelling read, but also a powerful tool for raising avalanche awareness in everyone who plays in the winter backcountry.
Book Synopsis This Land of Snow by : Anders Morley
Download or read book This Land of Snow written by Anders Morley and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passionate skier since he was a child, Anders Morley dreamed of going on a significant adventure, something bold and of his own design. And so one year in his early thirties, he decided to strap on cross-country skis to travel across Canada in the winter alone. This Land of Snow is about that journey and a man who must come to terms with what he has left behind, as well as how he wants to continue living after his trip is over. It is an honest, thoughtful, and humorous reckoning of an adventure filled with adrenalin and exuberance, as well as mistakes and danger. Along the way readers gain insight, both charming and fascinating, into Northern outdoor culture and modern-day wilderness living, the history of northern exploration and Nordic skiing, the right to roam movement, winter ecology, and more. Throughout, Morley’s clear, subtle, and self-deprecating voice speaks to a backwoods-genteel aesthetic that explores the dichotomy between wildness and refinement, language and personal story, journey and home.

Book excerpt: “A slender but punch-packing overview of the environmental destruction of the Far North” from the award-winning environmental reporter (Kirkus Reviews). Traditionally thought of as the last great unspoiled territory on Earth, the Arctic is in reality home to some of the most severe contamination on the planet. Awarded a major grant by the Pew Charitable Trusts to study the Arctic’s deteriorating environment, Los Angeles Times environmental reporter Marla Cone traveled across the Far North, from Greenland to the Aleutian Islands, to find out why the Arctic has become so toxic. Silent Snow is not only a scientific journey, but a personal one with experiences that range from tracking endangered polar bears in Norway to hunting giant bowhead whales with native Alaskans struggling to protect their livelihood. Through it all, Cone reports with heartbreaking immediacy on the dangers of pollution to native peoples and ecosystems, how Arctic cultures are adapting to this pollution, and what solutions will prevent the crisis from getting worse.

When he discovers a way to escape, he leaves the only world he knows and fearfully enters a world completely unknown to him. Eventually, he meets the Shepherd who sends him on a long journey to the Kingdom where Gindel hopes to become a Royal Horseman. Along the way, Gindel meets both good and evil people, some in the physical world, and others in the spiritual world. His faith is put to the test when he confronts many dangerous and seemingly impossible obstacles. Join him on his journey and find out what happens when he places his faith in the loving hands of the Good Shepherd. Beau is retired and lives in northern California with his wife, Joanne. He enjoys fishing and wildlife photography, but his passion is paddling the calm waters of northern California and the Pacific Northwest in his sea kayak.

Book Synopsis Beyond by : Christine R Prost and August R Prost
Download or read book Beyond written by Christine R Prost and August R Prost and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How often do we listen to the rain, watching the drops dance on the pavement, hanging like crystals from the leaves? Often through our day, we may see our reflections. How often do we take an internal survey of what we think, how we feel and why? Our outer and inner senses offer so much to consider, if we take the time to be aware of what is beyond the surface. My husband writes with a similar thought pattern, so several of his writings have been included. It is a wonder gift to have someone to share life, heart and mind with. Life is not just a destination. It is a journey from moment to moment. Make each one count.
