A grieving young mother and recovering alcoholic, Andi Nowak flees high above Canada's Arctic Circle seeking peace and solace, but instead finds intrigue, danger and romance. Haunted by memories of her daughter, Andi ventures north to the remote town of Inuvik and a challenging career at Tuktu Aviation. The discovery of a rich kimberlite pipe near the small community creates a diamond-mining frenzy, and more flying for Tuktu. When Andi discovers that their Twin Otter aircraft are being used for unauthorized purposes, her queries to the flight crew are first nonchalantly, and later violently, dismissed. Andi enlists the aid of her new friend, local gallery owner and dog-sledding enthusiast, North Ruben. Together they plot a scheme to trace the aircraft's mysterious movements, but their plan backfires with devastating - and deadly - results. Fear and anger spark Andi's ravaged emotions, and although she resists, her friendship with North heats with passion she never thought possible....

This book is a practical, portable guide to all of the Arctic's natural history—sky, atmosphere, terrain, ice, the sea, plants, birds, mammals, fish, and insects—for those who will experience the Arctic firsthand and for armchair travelers who would just as soon read about its splendors and surprises. It is packed with answers to naturalists' questions and with questions—some of them answered—that naturalists may not even have thought of.

Chris Burkard�s photographs are punctuated by energized landscapes and moments of bliss, by adventure seeking surfers and images of natural serenity. With the ocean as his main muse, Burkard in DISTANT SHORES has consistently captured this subject in timeless and expansive photographic impressions. He has focused on the sport and art of surfing as a bridge between the comparatively humble human figure and awe-inspiring, powerful natural landscapes. DISTANT SHORES is an impressive photographic record of Burkard�s search for wild, remote surfing destinations around the globe. He has spent more than a decade on this quest, and in the process has established himself as a major photographer in the surf, outdoor, and adventure communities as well as a chronicler of some of the most beautiful natural phenomena in the world.

Viewed in satellite images as a jagged white coat draped over the top of the globe, the high Arctic appears distant and isolated. But even if you don't live there, don't do business there, and will never travel there, you are closer to the Arctic than you think. Arctic Matters: The Global Connection to Changes in the Arctic is a new educational resource produced by the Polar Research Board of the National Research Council (NRC). It draws upon a large collection of peer-reviewed NRC reports and other national and international reports to provide a brief, reader-friendly primer on the complex ways in which the changes currently affecting the Arctic and its diverse people, resources, and environment can, in turn, affect the entire globe. Topics in the booklet include how climate changes currently underway in the Arctic are a driver for global sea-level rise, offer new prospects for natural resource extraction, and have rippling effects through the world's weather, climate, food supply and economy.
