  Winner of the 2020 National Outdoor Book Award for Outdoor Classic! 
   
   
   
  In this coming-of-middle-age memoir, Kim Heacox, writing in the tradition of Abbey, McPhee, and Thoreau, discovers an Alaska reborn from beneath a massive glacier, where flowers emerge from boulders, moose swim fjords, and bears cross crevasses with Homeric resolve. In such a place Heacox finds that people are reborn too, and their lives begin anew with incredible journeys, epiphanies, and successes. All in an America free of crass commercialism and overdevelopment. 
   
   
   
  Braided through the larger story are tales of gold prospectors and the cabin they built sixty years ago; John Muir and his intrepid terrier, Stickeen; and a dynamic geology professor who teaches earth science "as if every day were a geological epoch." 
   
   
   
  Nearly two million people come to Alaska every summer, some on large cruise ships, some in single kayaks—all in search of the last great wilderness, the Africa of America. It is exactly the America Heacox finds in this story of paradox, love, and loss.

  The coziest soundscape. Imagine you are at home. The window is open and there’s a very light drizzle of rain outside. Your neighbor is practicing piano and the notes drift into your room. You make a hot drink, pick up a book, and cuddle up on the sofa under a cozy blanket, now you’re ready to hygge.

  From the bestselling author of How Economics Shape Our World, a brisk history of how innovation is cultivated and its influence on everything from art to AI 
   
  Scientists, economists, and historians are always looking into the past in order make informed decisions about how to improve our future. Though our modern-day innovations are often mind-boggling (gene editing and fabricated ecosystems come to mind), they would not exist without their predecessors—someone had to invent the wheel. 
   
  In The Shortest History of Innovation, bestselling author Andrew Leigh tells the story of human innovation by identifying three of its most essential driving forces: tinkering, teams, and trade. Unveiling the surprising linchpins behind the everyday innovations that we take for granted, Leigh takes a closer look at the myriad ways ideas are developed, the forces that suppress them, and how they travel and evolve across borders and disciplines. 
   
  From technologies and tools to art and feats of engineering, innovation is everywhere. Drawing on his background as an economist and his experience as a decision-maker in Australia's House of Representatives, Leigh revisits history with fresh eyes and deftly connects it to the rapid innovation taking place today. The result is a lively, compact look at the engines powering progress.
