Summary

In the heart of the North American continent lies a vast and unforgiving land, a realm of ice and snow, of endless tundra and towering mountains, known as the Far North. This is a place of extremes, where the sun never sets in summer and the darkness of winter lingers for months on end. Yet, amidst the harsh conditions, there exists a beauty and a resilience that is unlike anything else on Earth.

"Legends of the Far North" is an immersive journey into this awe-inspiring region, a place of contrasts and contradictions, of beauty and harshness, of resilience and hope. With vivid descriptions and stunning photography, this book captures the essence of the Far North, inviting readers to experience its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and vibrant cultures.

From the icy shores of Alaska to the windswept plains of Canada, "Legends of the Far North" takes readers on an unforgettable odyssey, exploring the unique stories and traditions of the region. Meet the indigenous communities who have lived in harmony with the Arctic for generations, and learn about their traditional ways of life, their languages, and their deep connection to the land. Discover the challenges facing the Far North today, from climate change and resource development to the ongoing struggle for indigenous rights.

"Legends of the Far North" is not just a travelogue or a history book; it is a celebration of the human spirit, a testament to the resilience and adaptability of those who call this unforgiving land home. It is a book that will stay with you long after you have finished reading it, a book that will change the way you see the world.

Immerse yourself in the magic of the Far North, a place of mystery and wonder, where the forces of nature are unleashed in all their fury and beauty. "Legends of the Far North" is an invitation to adventure, a journey to the heart of a land that will forever hold a special place in your heart.

    Noble Savage Deadbeat Dad - How...

    In this mercilessly funny takedown, Jean-Jacques Rousseau—history's most insufferable philosopher—gets the roasting he so richly deserves. "Noble Savage, Deadbeat Dad" exposes the spectacular hypocrisy of a man who abandoned five children at orphanages while writing the definitive guide to education, preached natural virtue while exposing himself to strangers, and railed against wealth while living off rich patrons. 
Laugh out loud as we dissect Rousseau's greatest contradictions: his fetishization of indigenous cultures (without meeting any actual indigenous people), his belief that society corrupts natural goodness (while engaging in deeply unnatural bedroom activities), and his conviction that he alone understood true freedom (while being pathologically dependent on others for basic survival). 
This savagely irreverent guide reveals how a paranoid, chronically constipated Swiss misanthrope somehow managed to inspire both democracy AND totalitarianism between bouts of accusing everyone he met of conspiring against him. With brutal honesty and razor-sharp wit, we explore how Rousseau's complete disaster of a personal life somehow produced philosophical insights that still haunt us today—especially when we complain about technology ruining society while scrolling through social media. 
Perfect for philosophy students in desperate need of comic relief, or anyone who enjoys watching narcissistic geniuses get thoroughly eviscerated. Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable laughter and concerned looks from serious academics.

    Why Gerbils?  
Gerbils are small, energetic, and highly social creatures that make wonderful pets for individuals and families alike. Known for their curious nature and adorable antics, these tiny rodents are relatively low-maintenance compared to other pets.

Understanding Gerbils as Pets  
Before bringing gerbils into your life, it’s important to understand their unique characteristics and needs.

They are also highly social animals, thriving in pairs or small groups, and they form strong bonds with their owners through regular interaction and care.

    Features a new "where are they now" section, with updates about lives of expedition's original climbers and updated resources based on the "Anti-Racism in the Outdoors" (ARITO) guide. 
 
 
 
Outdoor journalist James Edward Mills's book, The Adventure Gap, is a groundbreaking volume that is equal parts adventure story, history, and inspiration as it chronicles the first American all-Black summit attempt on Denali in 2013. Mills uses this momentous expedition as a jumping-off point to explore diversity in the outdoors, from Mathew Henson who stood at the North Pole in 1909 to contemporary adventurers such as polar explorer Barbara Hillary and rock climber Kai Lightner. 
 
 
 
This tenth anniversary edition once again shares the compelling events that unfolded during Expedition Denali's summit bid. But it also provides fresh context: A new thought-provoking afterword by Mills examines what has evolved in and around the outdoor community since that effort. He highlights progress and inspiring stories, such as Full Circle Everest, an expedition led by Phillip Henderson that put an all-Black team on top of the world's highest peak. And he points to places where we can and should all strive for higher achievement. The Adventure Gap has become an essential text in outdoor education and inspiration—a story of our times, now more relevant than ever.
