Sinossi

Polar Night explores the phenomenon of prolonged darkness in the Arctic and Antarctic, revealing its profound impact on polar ecosystems, wildlife adaptations, and human settlements. This seasonal event, lasting weeks or months, challenges life in unique ways, from disrupting circadian rhythms to influencing migration patterns. Understanding the polar night is crucial, especially considering the effects of climate change on these sensitive environments.

 
The book delves into the science behind the polar night, differentiating between types of twilight and examining the physiological and behavioral adaptations of polar fauna. For instance, some animals modify their feeding strategies, while others rely on specialized sensory adaptations to navigate the darkness. Human settlements in the Arctic also face challenges, including seasonal affective disorder, prompting adaptations in architecture and cultural practices.

 
Furthermore, the book highlights the hurdles faced by scientific research during the polar night, detailing how researchers employ specialized equipment and innovative techniques to study the atmosphere, ice, and ocean in extreme conditions. By drawing from peer-reviewed publications, firsthand accounts, and interdisciplinary research, Polar Night offers a comprehensive view of this frequently overlooked aspect of polar science, progressing from astronomical principles to the ecological and social impacts of prolonged darkness.

Wine Bach and Cuckoo Clocks -...

Lorna Stuber

If a friendship lasts longer than fifteen years, you're no longer friends. You're family. 
Since childhood, Lorna has been curious about Germany and her ancestral roots there. She was fourteen when her great-grandfather died, a man who was born in what is now part of Ukraine but who was a self-proclaimed, proud German. 
Having grown up during the Cold War, Lorna had always viewed the former East and West Germany as being starkly different until 1999, when she met Christine, a woman from the former East Germany who became one of Lorna's closest lifetime friends. 
Over twenty-five years, Lorna made several trips to Germany in search of the world's largest cuckoo clock, a hotel in Berlin where guests can sleep in a coffin or prison cell, another hotel along the Rhein River that is owned by a family who may or may not be Lorna's distant relatives, sausage that meets the Nuremberg Sausage Protection Association's standards, and the best view of Neuschwanstein Castle. 
In her most recent memoir, travel and humour writer Lorna Stuber tells of her adventures in Germany while she reconnects with and learns more about her familial ties to Europe.
