Book excerpt: Recommended by the New York Times Holiday Books Guide A quest to rediscover America’s other border—the fascinating but little-known northern one. America’s northern border is the world’s longest international boundary, yet it remains obscure even to Americans. The northern border was America’s primary border for centuries—much of the early history of the United States took place there—and to the tens of millions who live and work near the line, the region even has its own name: the northland. Travel writer Porter Fox spent three years exploring 4,000 miles of the border between Maine and Washington, traveling by canoe, freighter, car, and foot. In Northland, he blends a deeply reported and beautifully written story of the region’s history with a riveting account of his travels. Setting out from the easternmost point in the mainland United States, Fox follows explorer Samuel de Champlain’s adventures across the Northeast; recounts the rise and fall of the timber, iron, and rail industries; crosses the Great Lakes on a freighter; tracks America’s fur traders through the Boundary Waters; and traces the forty-ninth parallel from Minnesota to the Pacific Ocean. Fox, who grew up the son of a boat-builder in Maine’s northland, packs his narrative with colorful characters (Captain Meriwether Lewis, railroad tycoon James J. Hill, Chief Red Cloud of the Lakota Sioux) and extraordinary landscapes (Glacier National Park, the Northwest Angle, Washington’s North Cascades). He weaves in his encounters with residents, border guards, Indian activists, and militia leaders to give a dynamic portrait of the northland today, wracked by climate change, water wars, oil booms, and border security.

Book excerpt: Praised as “one of the most inventive writers that science fiction has ever produced” (SF Site), national bestselling author Stephen Baxter presents a new saga of a world that could have become our own.... Ten thousand years ago, a vast and fertile plain existed that linked the British Isles to Europe. Home to a tribe of simple hunter-gatherers, Northland teems with nature’s bounty, but is also subject to its whims. Fourteen-year-old Ana calls Northland home, but her world is changing. The air is warming, the ice is melting, and the seas are rising. One day Ana meets a traveler from a far-distant city called Jericho—a town that is protected by a wall. And she starts to imagine the impossible....

Book excerpt: "Matti did not come to Ukko's funeral, although his parents sent a message about it. He could not cope with facing the loss in the form of a coffin, a funeral, the grief of the parents, the support of society for the bereaved. And he did not dare to risk meeting his own parents, his own family. He would stand there as a representative of sin from the south, the sin that had killed his best friend. They would blame him. They would be disgusted at the sight of him. And not for a single moment would they acknowledge his presence." "Northland" is a story about Matti from Kärsämäki in North Ostrobothnia, Finland. An isolated place with a single bus stop on the route between Oulu and Helsinki and a pit stop for drivers who need to refuel on the way to or from their holiday in Lapland. Here, a particularly conservative Christian denomination, Laestadianism, has been strong since the mid-1800s, and Matti was born into one of its congregations. But the world is changing, and so are people. Maybe. "Northland" is based on inspiration from local sources from Kärsämäki, the area's nature, history and folklore and of course from Kalevala, Finland's national epic. "Northland" is the 6th independent story in the series Modern Nordic Folk Tales. Storytelling for adults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the U.S. Coast Guard served as the Alaskan 911. Known then as simply the Revenue Cutter Service, it was comprised of skilled navigators, judges and law enforcement specialists tasked with preventing the frontier from descending into anarchy, and securing its status as a "cash cow" for the mainland states. This is the history of the early U.S. Coast Guard, with special focus on its former whalers-turned-cutters, the Bear and the Northland, and their voyages along the coast of Alaska, Hawaii and Greenland. Following the two vessels through history, chapters detail the diverse responsibilities that the "Coasties" had to face at the time, including capturing seal poachers and pirates, delivering babies, pulling natives' teeth and even engaging in combat with a German warship.

Book excerpt: Like the characters in the popular dime novels of the time, London's heroes display such manly virtues as courage, loyalty, and steadfastness as they conftont the merciless frozen expanses of the north. Yet London breaks free of stereotypical figures and one-dimensional plots to explore deeper psychological and social questions of self-mastery, masculinity, and racial domination. The uneasy relationship between the Native Americans and whites lies at the heart of many of the stories, while others reflect London's growing awareness of the destruction wrought by the white incursion on Indian culture. Northland Stories comprises nineteen of Jack London's greatest short works, including "An Odyssy of the North" (London's major breakthrough as a young author), "The White Silence," "The Law of Life," "The League of the Old Men," and the world classic "To Build a Fire." For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DescriptionIn this sci-fi fantasy novel, the author tells the story of the Northland, a mystical world in crisis. Once a magical realm of love and service, the inhabitants of this realm have abandoned their sacred heritage and embraced the world of the machine. As their intuitive awareness now fades into memory, selfishness and destruction expand. This descent into the lower mind has also created catastrophic energy surges that have spread throughout the Northland threatening its very existence. Their only hope is Baben, the Cosmic Being, and his fellow expedition members. They must solve the mystery of the magnetic disturbances and save their world. Their quest must rely on Mother World and their own latent abilities if they are to save the Northland and themselves. About the AuthorBecause of his lifelong struggle with a major mental illness, the author has relied on his writing to express frustration and direct his creative intelligence. This essential source of inspiration has helped satisfy his need to express his ideas while sidestepping the recurring traps of delusions and emotional extremes. In conjunction with medications, meditation, and other coping skills, Zurn's writing is now greatly improved, and his art is both thought provoking and entertaining. During the last two years, he has also begun to share his writing and his mental illness experiences in a wide variety of settings. This has been made possible by the help and encouragement he has received from Chipmunka Publishing and NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) of DuPage County, Illinois. John Zurn was born in 1954 and lives with his wife, Donna, in Geneva Illinois. He received an M.A. in English from Western Illinois University in 1982.

Book excerpt: Praised as “not only a gifted storyteller but also a master of speculative fiction” (Library Journal), bestselling author Stephen Baxter brings his epic Northland trilogy to a close as a once-thriving civilization faces winter without end.... Many generations ago, the Wall was built to hold back the sea. A simple dam, it grew into a vast linear city, home to scholars, builders, and merchants. Northland’s prosperity survived wars and unrest—and brought the whole of Europe together. But now darkness is falling. Days grow shorter, temperatures colder, and in the wake of long winters come famine, destruction, and terror. As a mass exodus to warmer climes threatens to fracture Northland, one man believes he can outwit the cold, and even salvage some scraps of the great civilization—before interminable gloom settles over the land; before the fires of war lay waste to an empire; before the ice comes....

Book excerpt: One man’s “curiously thrilling joyride” of travelogue, history, and climatology, across a planet on the brink of cataclysmic transformation (Donovan Hohn). As the planet warms, winter is shrinking. In the last fifty years, the Northern Hemisphere lost a million square miles of spring snowpack and in the US alone, snow cover has been reduced by 15-30%. On average, winter has shrunk by a month in most northern latitudes. In this deeply researched, beautifully written, and adventure-filled book, journalist Porter Fox travels along the edge of the Northern Hemisphere's snow line to track the scope of this drastic change, and how it will literally change everything—from rapid sea level rise, to fresh water scarcity for two billion people, to massive greenhouse gas emissions from thawing permafrost, and a half dozen climate tipping points that could very well spell the end of our world. This original research is animated by four harrowing and illuminating journeys—each grounded by interviews with idiosyncratic, charismatic experts in their respective fields and Fox's own narrative of growing up on a remote island in Northern Maine. Timely, atmospheric, and expertly investigated, The Last Winter will showcase a shocking and unexpected casualty of climate change—that may well set off its own unstoppable warming cycle.

Book excerpt: Tennis in the Northland is a book about Minnesota's high school tennis champions, and the coaches who helped them become successful. It is a comprehensive 75-year history, beginning in the first year of state competition in 1929. Featured in the book are narrative profiles of all the singles and doubles champions; sketches of prominent Minnesota tennis families, teaching pros, patrons, and media reporters; and stories about successful teams. The book also includes stories about girls playing on boys' teams before Title IX, dark horse teams such as St. James, dynasty teams such as Edina, and many fun facts about former champions. For example, one future champion missed his streetcar and so missed the tournament his junior year. Another is one of the creators of the play “Triple Espresso.” Another had a tennis scorebook named after him, and still another was the lead prosecutor at the Charles Manson trial (and author of the book Helter Skelter).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two years ago, Logan Ward got the surprise of his life when he discovered he was the father of a two-year-old little boy. Professionally and romantically adrift, he devoted all his time and energy to caring for his son. But now he's searching for more, and accepting a job in Alaska will give him a fresh start. Along the way, he can only hope work out the rest. Minor things, really. Like how to create a home for him and his boy, figuring out whether or not he's into men, and how to find his place in a new culture where a young girl is better with a rifle than he is. Kyle Shaw has been living off the land his whole life, very comfortable with nature and the challenges of surviving in the Alaskan wilderness. He particularly enjoys his seasonal work at the O'Connor Adventure Retreat, and for this year's stint, he's bringing his niece. He's not in the market for anything other than hard work, good friends, and-fingers crossed-reasonably priced milk. Then some guy from the South puts his foot in his mouth, and Kyle steps up to teach Logan a lesson.

Book excerpt: "Marisol the Parasol" is a short whimsical tale told in rhyme and intended for young readers, as well as for adults to read-aloud to children. It is based in Paris and tells the story of the troubled romance between a sun umbrella (Marisol, a parasol) and a rain umbrella ("parapluie" in French), named Louie; and how their love comes to triumph in the end. Beyond the clear and straightforward attempt to entertain, the author and illustrator believe young English speaking listeners and readers may acquire from this little book some curiosity or insight about French and, by extension, foreign languages in general. (A glossary addresses the French words as well as a few in English which may not be familiar to young readers.) David "Ollie" Oliver's colorful, charming, and thoughtful illustrations evoke a little of the culture, look and style of the City of Paris in times somewhat earlier than our own. Under the surface of this tale, more serious questions and issues - such as the nature of work and of differences - might possibly provoke discussion which children, families, or teachers might find useful (not obligatory!)
