Download or read book The Sun Is a Compass written by Caroline Van Hemert and published by Little, Brown Spark. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of Cheryl Strayed, the gripping story of a biologist's human-powered journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Arctic to rediscover her love of birds, nature, and adventure. During graduate school, as she conducted experiments on the peculiarly misshapen beaks of chickadees, ornithologist Caroline Van Hemert began to feel stifled in the isolated, sterile environment of the lab. Worried that she was losing her passion for the scientific research she once loved, she was compelled to experience wildness again, to be guided by the sounds of birds and to follow the trails of animals. In March of 2012, she and her husband set off on a 4,000-mile wilderness journey from the Pacific rainforest to the Alaskan Arctic, traveling by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe. Together, they survived harrowing dangers while also experiencing incredible moments of joy and grace -- migrating birds silhouetted against the moon, the steamy breath of caribou, and the bond that comes from sharing such experiences. A unique blend of science, adventure, and personal narrative, The Sun is a Compass explores the bounds of the physical body and the tenuousness of life in the company of the creatures who make their homes in the wildest places left in North America. Inspiring and beautifully written, this love letter to nature is a lyrical testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Winner of the 2019 Banff Mountain Book Competition: Adventure Travel

Download or read book Trail of Hope written by Norman Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the conquest of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939, hundreds of thousands of Polish families were torn from their homes and sent eastwards to the arctic wastes of Siberia. Prisoners of war, refugees, those regarded as 'social criminals' by Stalin's regime, and those rounded up by sheer chance were all sent 'to see the Great White Bear'. However, with Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa just two years later, Russia and the Allied powers found themselves on the same side once more. Turning to those that it had previously deemed 'undesirable', Russia sought to raise a Polish army from the men, women and children that it had imprisoned within its labour camps. In this remarkable work, renowned historian Professor Norman Davies draws from years of meticulous research to recount the compelling story of this unit, the Polish II Corps or 'Anders Army', and their exceptional journey from the Gulag of Siberia through Iran, the Middle East and North Africa to the battlefields of Italy to fight shoulder-to-shoulder with Allied forces. Complete with previously unpublished photographs and first-hand accounts from the men and women who lived through it, this is a unique visual and written record of one of the most fascinating episodes of World War II.

Book Synopsis Hellz Yeah It's Possible! by : Kevin 'Possible' Kiernan
Download or read book Hellz Yeah It's Possible! written by Kevin 'Possible' Kiernan and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thru Hiking the Appalachian Trail is an epic adventure, and yet one that is still within the reach of most people. It is a long journey, an escape, and a time of self-discovery. The author completed his own thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2015. 'Hellz Yeah It's Possible' ('Possible' is the author's trail Name) is designed as a two part guide and aid to prospective thru-hikers, although those readers who are just looking for an adventure tale should not be disappointed. The first section is an account of the author's journey, the second section is is a compilation of information useful to a prospective thru-hiker. It is entitled "If You Go". The journal is broken down day by day, tracking distances and landmarks along the way. It incorporates the physical, social, and mental aspects of the author's thru-hike. The physical aspect off the trail is real. It is an insane endurance event for a person's body. It can actually be started by someone with only moderate conditioning, because the Appalachian Trail itself is its own training ground. The hiker learns to listen to their body, learn how much they can do, what to eat, and how to take care of themselves. This is part of the journal; as the days pass the author learns what makes his body work, and what makes it falter. Aspects of diet and physical care are critical parts of his wellbeing as he copes with the environmental rigors of living outdoors on the move for an extended period of time. The Appalachian Trail is not just a path through the woods and an escape into nature. As with all human constructs, it is a social community, a gathering of people. That it is a moving stream of people makes it no less a social adventure. There is conflict and resolution, friendships are made and broken, and people become more of what they are under the physical and emotional stresses of the journey. Hiking the trail is an intense period in a person's life, and it fuels social impact and personal growth in a direct way at a greater rate than at other periods of a persons life. The narrative discusses the author's own personal interactions and his reactions to the trail community at large. The Appalachian trail is also a landmark, its history is woven into the land it travels through, and with each year's class of hikers the history grows just a little more. Significant trail events and location lore are woven onto the narrative. It is told from the hiker's perspective, from one with a historical bent who marvels at the point in time that is his journey. In "If You Go" The author creates lists of gear and food choices, and imparts his own lessons from hiking the trail that will be of interest to anyone considering a long distance hike. The author discusses his choices knowing that his way is just one way, and develops some ideas he didn't use but were used by other successful thru-hikers. Most of the knowledge here is already discussed in the journal narrative, but it is condensed so it is a useful reference for those planning their own adventures.The author encourages everyone to find their own space and way to adventure. We are not meant to live our entire lives working in cubicles and retiring to a couch in front of a television. There is a real world out there waiting for you to find it. Hellz Yeah Its Possible!

Book excerpt: Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers." But it often seems like conflict and disagreement are unavoidable. Serious, divisive conflict is everywhere-within families, in the church, and out in the world. And it can seem impossible to overcome its negative force in our lives. In The Peacemaker, Ken Sande presents a comprehensive and practical theology for conflict resolution designed to bring about not only a cease-fire but also unity and harmony. Sande takes readers beyond resolving conflicts to true, life-changing reconciliation with family members, coworkers, and fellow believers. Biblically based, The Peacemaker is full of godly wisdom and useful suggestions that are easily applied to any relationship needing reconciliation. Sande's years of experience as an attorney and as president of Peacemaker Ministries will strengthen readers' confidence as they stand in the gap as peacemakers.

Book Synopsis A Walk on the Beach by : Joan Anderson
Download or read book A Walk on the Beach written by Joan Anderson and published by Crown. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the bestselling A Year By the Sea, comes the inspiring story about how her and Joan Erikson's friendship pushed them to remember the importance of transformation and sustained them through their unique challenges. Shortly after arriving on Cape Cod to spend a year by herself, Joan Anderson’s chance encounter with a wise and astonishing woman helped her usher in the self-discoveries that led to her ongoing renewal. First glimpsed as a slender figure on a fogged-in beach, Joan Erikson was not only a friend and confidante when she was most needed, but also a guide as Anderson stretched and grew into her unfinished self. Joan Erikson was perhaps best known for her collaboration with her husband, Erik, a pioneering psychoanalyst and noted author. After Erik’s death, she wrote several books extending their theory of the stages of life to reflect her understanding of aging as she neared ninety-five. But her wisdom was best taught through their friendship; as she sat with Anderson, weaving tapestries of their lives with brightly colored yarn while exploring the strength gathered from their accumulated experiences, Joan Erikson’s lessons took shape on their small cardboard looms as well as in her friend’s revitalized life. In writing about their extraordinary friendship, Anderson reveals a need she didn’t know she had: for a mentor to help navigate the transitions she faced as she grew beyond middle age. And when Joan Erikson had to face her husband’s death and the growing limitations of her own body, Anderson was able to give back some of the wisdom she had gleaned. To this poignant, joyful account, Joan Anderson brings the candor and sensitivity that have made her an acclaimed speaker and writer on midlife and its possibilities. A Walk on the Beach is an experience to savor and treasure, a glimpse of the exuberant spirit that can be sustained and passed on in all our friendships.
