For fans of Cheryl Strayed, the gripping story of a biologist's human-powered journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Arctic to rediscover her love of birds, nature, and adventure. During graduate school, as she conducted experiments on the peculiarly misshapen beaks of chickadees, ornithologist Caroline Van Hemert began to feel stifled in the isolated, sterile environment of the lab. Worried that she was losing her passion for the scientific research she once loved, she was compelled to experience wildness again, to be guided by the sounds of birds and to follow the trails of animals. In March of 2012, she and her husband set off on a 4,000-mile wilderness journey from the Pacific rainforest to the Alaskan Arctic, traveling by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe. Together, they survived harrowing dangers while also experiencing incredible moments of joy and grace -- migrating birds silhouetted against the moon, the steamy breath of caribou, and the bond that comes from sharing such experiences. A unique blend of science, adventure, and personal narrative, The Sun is a Compass explores the bounds of the physical body and the tenuousness of life in the company of the creatures who make their homes in the wildest places left in North America. Inspiring and beautifully written, this love letter to nature is a lyrical testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Winner of the 2019 Banff Mountain Book Competition: Adventure Travel

Abstract: Utilizing the energy from the sun is a viable cooking alternative for an unlimited number of dishes, and can be used not only in southern climates, but as far north as Maine. The method is to point the solar cooker at the sun, to focus the rays in the cooking area. Instructions forbuilding and operating a cooker and a hotplate are illustrated with photographs. Utensils most suitable are dark, to absorb heat. Recipes tailored to solar cooking include breads, vegetables, grains and beans, casseroles, meat, poultry, fish and desserts. Some of the helpful tips are cooking in plastic bags, making pizza at noon so the oven can stay flat, and making chili rellenos on a rainy day.
