Beschreibung

Coldest Cities explores how people thrive in the world's most frigid urban environments. It delves into the geography of extreme cold, highlighting the remarkable human resilience found in places like Yakutsk and Norilsk, where temperatures plummet far below freezing for extended periods.

 
The book examines the innovative strategies these communities have developed, from unique architectural designs to cultural practices, that enable survival and a surprising quality of life despite the harsh climate. The book argues that living in extreme cold is a testament to human ingenuity. For instance, some cities have developed heating systems that utilize geothermal energy.

 
The study begins by establishing a scientific baseline, discussing the physiological impacts of extreme cold on the human body. It then progresses through case studies of specific cities, analyzing their geographical context, historical development, and the unique adaptations of their residents. Coldest Cities connects these localized experiences to broader themes, such as climate change and sustainable living, illustrating how lessons from these extreme environments can inform adaptation strategies worldwide.

 
By using a combination of climatological data, historical records, and first-hand accounts, the book offers a comprehensive and accessible understanding of life in the planet's most challenging urban settings.

    A former artist’s model and muse reclaims her image and voice, dismantling the male gaze that once framed her. 
    At 23, Theresa Kishkan met an artist who became obsessed with her. She was young, she was flattered, and the situation quickly overwhelmed her. He drew and painted her for a few months, after which she went away for a year. When she returned, she was determined not to resume the relationship.  
    But the artist made contact with her after the birth of her first child and became a family friend, bringing gifts of paintings. Those images hung in Theresa’s home, and one in particular reminded her almost daily of her younger self, in ways both positive and not so much. She avoided looking too closely at his images of her and at his long, passionate and often troubling letters. 
    Decades later, while sorting old correspondence, she was taken back to those early days and began, at last, to write about her relationship with the now-deceased artist. The Art of Looking Back is a meditation on the male gaze, on reclaiming one's younger self, and on agency: how we lose it, how we find it again. This poetic memoir asks questions about older men and younger women and girls, and the persistence of that dynamic in art.

    E. B. White is best known for his children’s books, such as Charlotte’s Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan. A columnist for the New Yorker for over half a century and co-author of The Elements of Style, White hit his stride as an American literary icon when he began publishing his One Man’s Meat columns from his saltwater farm on the coast of Maine. 
    In E. B. White on Dogs, his granddaughter and manager of his literary estate, Martha White, has compiled the best and funniest of her grandfather’s essays, poems, and letters depicting over a dozen of his various canine companions. Included here are favorite essays such as “Two Letters, Both Open,” “Bedfellows,” and many others, as well as some of White’s little-known “Notes and Comment” pieces covering dog shows, sled dog races, and the trials and tribulations of city canines.  
    This is a book for those who recognize a good sentence and a masterful turn of a phrase; for E. B. White fans looking for more from their favorite author; and for dog lovers who may not have discovered the wit, style, and compassion of this most distinguished of American essayists.
