Book Description
"He's built a quiet life for himself in Alaska. But it doesn't stand a chance against the unrelenting pull of a man who's everything he shouldn't want.Ex-military mountain man Griffin Barrett likes his solitude. It keeps him from falling back into old habits. Bad habits. He's fought too hard for his sobriety to lose control now. However, his gig as a wildlife guide presents a new kind of temptation in superhot supermodel River Vale. Nothing the Alaskan wilderness has to offer has ever called to Griffin so badly. And that can only lead to trouble...River has his own methods for coping. Chasing adventure means always moving forward. Nobody's ever made him want to stand still--until Griffin. The rugged bush pilot is the very best kind of distraction, but the emotions he stirs up in River feel anything but casual, and he's in no position to stay put. With temptation lurking in close quarters, keeping even a shred of distance is a challenge neither's willing to meet. And the closer Griffin gets to River, the easier it is to ignore every last reason he should run."--Back cover.

Book Description
Award-winning author and conservationist Ken Madsen has hiked, paddled, and photgraphed, and championed some of North America's most remote wilderness. Since 1998, he has coordinated the Caribou Commons Project, an international effort to preserve the coastal plain of northeastern Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from industrial oil and gas development. Part adventure story, part naturalist's journal, part personal journey, part call to action, Madsen's narrative is witty and thoroughly engaging. It is an appeal to human rights, to the dignity of ancient species, and to careful stewardship of what is left on Earth of true wilderness.

Book Description
The northern community known as Peawanuck (Cree for Flint) is located approximately 32 kilometres up river from the former village of Winisk on the shore of Hudson Bay. There, prior to a devastating flood on May 16, 1986, the First Nations residents of Winisk had carried on with a traditional lifestyle built largely around hunting and trapping seasons. The late Mildred Young Hubbert of Markdale, Ontario, first visited Winisk in the 1960s as a classroom consultant with the then Department of Indian Affairs. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine the scenario some three years later that found her experiencing an odd sort of honeymoon at Winisk and ultimately her first three years of marriage to the wonderful and highly unorthodox teacher, George Hubbert, all six foot six of him. Together the two teachers came to be a vital part of the village during the mid-1970s, a story lovingly and engagingly told by Millie Hubbert in a manuscript completed just prior to her passing. Winisk: On the Shore of Hudson Bay is charmingly told in the same anecdotal writing style that delighted readers of several previous books by the same author. This is vintage Millie Hubbert!

Book Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Cockroaches, a “forcefully written story of personal defeat, despair, and salvation” (The New York Times Book Review) about a man with one small problem—his former boss, Oslo's most notorious drug kingpin, wants him dead. "A fun read, with a likable protagonist and a brisk, page-turning pace." —Los Angeles Times Ulf was once the kingpin's fixer, but after betraying him, Ulf is now the one his former boss wants fixed. Hiding out at the end of the line in northern Norway, Ulf lives among the locals. A mother and son befriend him, and their companionship stirs something deep in him that he thought was long dead. As he awaits the inevitable arrival of his murderous pursuers, he questions if redemption is at all possible or if, as he's always believed, “hope is a real bastard.”
