Download or read book Northland: A 4,000-Mile Journey Along America's Forgotten Border written by Porter Fox and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Romantic, urgent, valuable and appealing as hell.” —Andrew McCarthy, New York Times Book Review 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; and traces the forty-ninth parallel from Minnesota to the Pacific Ocean. 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.

Download or read book The Last Winter written by Porter Fox and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
Download or read book Stone Spring written by Stephen Baxter and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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: 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....
Download or read book Northland Stories written by Jack London and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book Synopsis Tennis in the Northland by : Jim Holden
Download or read book Tennis in the Northland written by Jim Holden and published by Beavers Pond Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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).
Book Synopsis Marisol the Parasol by : Joel Glickman
Download or read book Marisol the Parasol written by Joel Glickman and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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!)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Lakes are the largest collection of fresh surface water on earth, and more than 40 million Americans and Canadians live in their basin. Will we divert water from the Great Lakes, causing them to end up like Central Asia's Aral Sea, which has lost 90 percent of its surface area and 75 percent of its volume since 1960? Or will we come to see that unregulated water withdrawals are ultimately catastrophic? Peter Annin writes a fast-paced account of the people and stories behind these upcoming battles. Destined to be the definitive story for the general public as well as policymakers, The Great Lakes Water Wars is a balanced, comprehensive look behind the scenes at the conflicts and compromises that are the past-and future-of this unique resource.

Book excerpt: The year is 2045 and a well respected newspaper columnist, David Cohen, is offered a once in a lifetime assignment. David is accustomed to his somewhat mundane lifestyle, and suddenly finds himself in unfamiliar territory and danger. David is desperate to uncover the secrets of Northland. This segregated city was built within the U.S borders and its policy is "White Christians Only." The leaders of Northland legally circumvented the laws to build their city in the heart of America. A hand picked group of media and journalists from outside of Northland were invited to this city to interview its people and leaders and report to the world the truth about this well guarded city. For years the people of the United States have come to believe that Northland and its leaders have other plans that could change the way they live, and alter their lifestyles. David, with the help of his assistant Connie, must obtain the proof he needs before he can write his story. David unexpectedly finds himself falling for Connie and struggles to keep his focus. Will other areas and other groups of people now living in the United States follow the same path as the city of Northland, or can we break the bigotry that has always existed in America?
