Book Description
In 1898, Nome, Alaska, burst into the American consciousness when one of the largest gold strikes in the world occurred on its shores. Over the next ten years, Nome’s population exploded as both men and women came north to seek their fortunes. Closer to Siberia than to New York, Nome’s citizens created their own version of small-town America on the northern frontier. Less than 150 miles from the Arctic Circle, they weathered the Great War and the diphtheria epidemic of 1925 as well as floods, fires, and the Great Depression. They enlivened the Alaska winters with pastimes such as high-school basketball and social clubs. Empire’s Edge is the story of how ordinary Americans made a life on the edge of a continent—a life both ordinary and extraordinary.

Book Description
A trans-world journey with an extraorindary shorebird—from Australia's southern ocean to the Arctic and back—that explores the mysteries of the natural world and its power to heal. As the sun lowered and turned Gulf St Vincent fiery, they each called a high-pitched 'peeooowiii!', flashed their black wing-pits, spread their tail skirts and took flight... In a luminous new boook, Andrew Darby follows the odysseys of two seemingly-humble Grey Plovers, little-known migratory shorebirds, as they take previously uncharted ultramarathon flights from the southern coast of Australia to Arctic breeding grounds. On these death-defying flights they dodge predators, typhoons, exhaustion, and countless other dangers before they can breed...and then survive the jrouney all over again and return south to their feeding grounds. But the greatest threat to these, and other long-distance migrants on the flyway, is China's "dragon economy," which is engulfing their vital Yellow Sea staging spots. In Flight Lines, we meet the dedicated people of all nationalities and backgrounds working to save these intrepid birds, from Russia to Alaska, from the rim of the Arctic Sea to the coasts of the Southern Ocean. Out of their hard-won science Darby finds hope for the birds—an unexpected bright light for our times. But his journey to understand these marvellous birds almost ends when he is suddenly diagnosed with an incurable cancer. Then he finds science coming to his rescue too, as his own story and the journey of these little birds intersect in an unexpected and beautiful way.
Book Description
J'ai fait un rêve, un rêve blanc... J'ai rêvé d'un monde immaculé, vierge, où l'animal vivrait en harmonie avec la nature. Lors de ma première expédition polaire, les paysages ont défilé lentement au rythme d'une douce navigation : une découverte, un rêve éveillé, un émerveillement perpétuel. Cette première rencontre avec les terres arctiques a laissé en moi une empreinte indélébile. Les paysages d'une beauté et d'une pureté absolue, le rêve éveillé d'une terre vierge, préservée... et l'envie d'y revenir encore et encore. Les montagnes se jettent dans l'eau grise reflétant les nuages noirs qui s'amoncellent dans le ciel couleur de porcelaine. Le moindre rayon de soleil transfigure le paysage et illumine cette étendue glacée. L'eau devient miroitante et les rayons du soleil se reflètent à l'infini sur les vaguelettes. La glace d'un blanc immaculé, où l'ours polaire règne en maître, devient brillante, presque aveuglante. Kyriakos Kaziras
