  A journey through the far north from the Shetland Islands to Greenland and beyond: “A wonder-voyage . . . often beautiful” (Robert Macfarlane, author of Underland). The stark, vast beauty of the remote landscape of Arctic Europe has been the focus of human exploration for thousands of years. In this striking blend of travel writing, history, and mythology, Gavin Francis offers a unique portrait of the northern fringes of Europe. His journey begins in the Shetland Islands, takes him to the Faroes, Iceland, Greenland, Svalbard, and Lapland.   Following in the footsteps of the area's early pioneers, the author observes how the region has adapted to the twenty-first century, offering insight into the lives of people he encounters along the way. As with all the best travel writing, True North is an engaging, compassionate tale of self-discovery, blending historical and contemporary narratives.   “His nuanced, often witty, observations of the people and places he encounters mean True North really gets under the skin of Europe’s magical north.” —Sunday Herald   “An evocative writer.” —Booklist on Empire Antarctica

  Success with Chickens - The What...

  Who would have thought that keeping chickens would ever become a lifestyle objective rather than, as was the case a few years ago, a hobby generally indulged in at the bottom of the garden by a few middle-aged men? While the fact that it has can only be a good thing, without a basic understanding of what chickens need in terms of daily care, the newcomer to the hobby is as likely to experience failure as he is success. Even the more experienced can always learn something new and this book caters for both. 
  This practical, often anecdotal guide incorporates much of the author's 40 years experience as a chicken keeper, as well as taking advantage of the knowledge and experience of other, like-minded enthusiasts. Also included, either because of their relevance, or simply their ability to raise a wry smile, are several snippets taken from poultry books written during the first half of the 20th century.
