Book Description
Excerpt from The Aurora Borealis The first work, devoted entirely to the study of Polar Auroras, was written in France; it is entitled 'Traite Physique et Historique de l'Aurore Boreale, ' and was published in 1733 by De Mairan, in the 'Memoires' of the 'Academie des Sciences.' We must allow a century to elapse before we find anything to be compared with it in importance and volume, when the work 'Aurores Boreales' appeared in the collection of the corvette 'Recherche.' This volume, accompanied by magnificent plates - of which we shall reproduce the most interesting - contains records of observations of the aurora borealis taken in Lapland during the winter of 1838-39 by Bravais, Lottin, Lillihoeoek, and Siljestroem. Bravais added general remarks on this phenomenon, and discussed the principal observations collected at that date, and the various hypotheses put forward to account for them.

Book Description
Just over one hundred years ago Kristian Birkeland looked into the night sky of his native Norway and saw in the beautiful Northern Lights a mystery waiting to be solved. Determined to prove to the world his bold theory about the heavens above, this misunderstood genius began a quest that would take him from Norway's ice mountains to the deserts of Africa, and across a continent ravaged by war. It was a quest that alienated friends and family, ruined his health and sanity, and ended in his mysterious death in a Japanese hotel in 1917. Lucy Jago brilliantly tells the fascinating and tragic story of Kristian Birkeland, the man who saw in the night sky a secret that no one else could see, but who died trying to convince the world of his vision.

Book Description
Winner of the National Book Award This bestselling, groundbreaking exploration of the Far North is a classic of natural history, anthropology, and travel writing. The Arctic is a perilous place. Only a few species of wild animals can survive its harsh climate. In this modern classic, Barry Lopez explores the many-faceted wonders of the Far North: its strangely stunted forests, its mesmerizing aurora borealis, its frozen seas. Musk oxen, polar bears, narwhal, and other exotic beasts of the region come alive through Lopez’s passionate and nuanced observations. And, as he examines the history and culture of its indigenous communities, along with parallel narratives of intrepid, often underprepared and subsequently doomed polar explorers, Lopez drives to the heart of why the austere and formidable Arctic is also a constant source of breathtaking beauty, mystery, and wonder. Written in prose as pure as the land it describes, Arctic Dreams is a timeless mediation on the ability of the landscape to shape our dreams and to haunt our imaginations.

Book Description
Focusing on the lives and careers of Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Theodore Dreiser, Ernest Hemingway, and John Dos Passos, Fishkin offers the first full-length study to examine the tradition in American letters since the 1830s of great imaginative writers beginning their careers in journalism. Her probing examination of the poetry and fiction that followed the newspaper and magazine work of these writers reveals how each transformed fact into art and how journalismhas helped to give a distinctively American cast to American literature.
