West Margin Press Alone Across the Arctic: One Woman's Epic Journey
Book Synopsis“Pam spurned conventional rewards, entrusted her dream to eight powerful huskies, and set out alone to cross the Arctic. . . . a most extraordinary journey.” —Sir Ranulph Fiennes, renowned adventurer Eight sled dogs and one woman set out from Barrow, Alaska, to mush 2,500 miles. Alone Across the Artic chronicles this astounding expedition. For an entire year, Pam Flowers and her dogs made this epic journey across North America arctic coast. The first woman to make this trip solo, Pam endures and deals with intense blizzards, melting pack ice, and a polar bear. Yet in the midst of such danger, Pam also relishes the time alone with her beloved team. Their survival—-her survival—-hinges on that mutual trust and love. Trade Review“Pam spurned conventional rewards, entrusted her dream to eight powerful huskies, and set out alone to cross the Arctic. . . . a most extraordinary journey.” —Sir Ranulph Fiennes, renowned adventurer “A fine armchair read . . . packed with ongoing action.”—The Bookwatch “Forget mystery novels! I couldn’t put this book down.”—Patricia McConnell, PhD, Certified Applied Animal BehavioristCoauthored with Dixon, a children's book author (Blueberry Shoe), this exciting memoir recounts Flowers's 2,500-mile journey across the North American Arctic, undertaken at the age of 46. Retracing in reverse a 1924 expedition led by Norwegian explorer Knud Rasmussen, Flowers and her eight sled dogs mushed from Barrow, Alaska, to Repulse Bay in Northwest Canada, becoming the first woman and the first American to do so. Fulfilling a lifelong dream and driven by an adventurous spirit forged in childhood, she left her job as a respiratory therapist and began seriously training for the expedition in 1992; the trip began in February 1993. The sled dogs, for whom the author has "tremendous respect," ranged in age from one to nine years and spring to life through descriptions of their strengths and distinct personalities. Dependent on one another for survival, Flowers details the care she took to make sure the dogs received enough food, water, rest and love for each day's travel. She recounts how her lead dog, Douggie, was able to sense the right direction even when she could not. She and her dogs battled cold, wind, storms and exhaustion on the tundra. Their isolation was broken by brief visits with settlers in the small Alaskan and Canadian communities where they rested and Flowers picked up supplies. At one point, due to unsafe summertime sea ice, she briefly considered giving up. Instead, the team rested for several months in an Inuit village and successfully completed the expedition in January 1994.—Publishers WeeklyGr 5-10-With a young dogsled team, no sponsors, and no spare lead dog, Flowers set out to fulfill a lifelong dream to retrace, in reverse, a 1923-24 expedition by Norwegian explorer Knud Rasmussen and two Inuit companions, who traveled the length of the North American coast by dog team. If Flowers succeeded, she would be the first female and first American to mush that route solo. Using a balanced content of narrative, journal entries, boxed information bits, and numerous photographs, Flowers, with Dixon, details the exhilarating and often harrowing journey. Journal excerpts capture much of the emotion: "My eyelashes freeze together and I can't open my eyes. I have to crawl back to the tent on my knees-and frantically claw the snow away from my eyes." Readers will be fascinated by the descriptions of her dog team, introduced individually with photographs and comments. About Roald, for example, she writes: "Though intelligent, Roald lacked confidence, which sometimes caused him to clown around rather than try his hardest." A list of equipment and supplies is included. The message of this exciting book is important. At journey's end, as she stood alone with her dogs, she summarized her emotions. "The dogs, I believe, felt it too. We'd done well, and in doing so, had won what I consider the greatest reward of all: self-respect. We carry it with us wherever we go." This is an engaging survival story with broad appeal.—School Library JournalA freelance writer for several outdoor magazines and a participant in Alaska's famous Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, Flowers here chronicles her 2500-mile, solo dogsled journey from Point Barrow, AK, to Repulse Bay in the Northwest Territory of Canada. Her journey began in the dark of winter 1993 as she sledded east following a route first taken by the fifth Thule Expedition in 1922. Even though Alaskan sled dogs are wild, bred to pull, and usually kept chained up when not hitched to a sled, Flowers developed a close relationship with each of her eight dogs (each of whose personalities she describes here). But despite all her affection, she almost had to abandon the trip when her lead dog, Douggie, ran away for 12 days. Along the way, she steadfastly endured the persistent Arctic storms and the ever-present fear of animal predators and encountered many of the people and places described in Jonathan Waterman's ARCTIC CROSSING. Beautiful color photographs greatly enhance this delightful and well-written story of perseverance.

Apollo Publishers Finding Rhythm: An International Dance Journey
Book SynopsisOne woman embarked on a dance journey around the world, finding out how each dance tells a story of its country and learning how beautiful life can be when you take the lead.If you could do anything you wanted, what would it be? Aliénor Salmon was working as a happiness researcher in Bangkok when a friend asked her the question that turned life as she knew it on its heels. A novice dancer but experienced social researcher, the Franco-British Aliénor headed west from Bangkok to dance her way through Latin America. As she learns eighteen dances, each native to the countries she visits, she engages with esoteric customs, traditions, and cultures. Through conversations and arduous studio hours, she learns that every step, pivot, and shake thrums with an undeniable spirit of place. And that in a world where we are over-connected but increasingly disconnected from one another, dance offers an authentically human experience. One that allows her to develop tolerance, kindness, truth, and love by holding the hands of a stranger and gazing into their eyes for the time of a song.With her fearless and candid approach, Aliénor will inspire you to take the reins of your own life—and have some fun along the way. In this dance-travelogue, you’ll learn the history and steps of dances like salsa, samba, and tango, enjoy a resplendent meditation on happiness and wanderlust, and receive a life-affirming answer to the question: How do I take the first step?Trade Review“A cross-cultural journey recounted in lively, lyrical prose packed with insight and inspiration. . . . Anyone interested in expanding their cultural vocabulary will enjoy this memorable memoir.”—Booklist“Can you dance away the hurt? Aliénor Salmon admirably and gamely throws herself—or should I say jetés herself—into answering this question, yielding a lovely portrait of both a woman and an art form.”—Henry Alford, author of And Then We Danced, Big Kiss, and How to Live“Aliénor Salmon doesn't just walk the talk, she dances it. Timely, insightful, and practical, Finding Rhythm reminds us of the importance of not just knowing but actually embodying powerful research on how to be resilient and find happiness in a constantly changing world.”—Shawn Achor, New York Times best-selling author of The Happiness Advantage, Before Happiness, and Big Potential“Finding Rhythm is the story of a woman’s search for authenticity, connection, and creativity in an overly rational world. It beautifully captures the power of dance as a tool for self-healing and allowing our inner child to cultivate joy to discover our true essence.” —Dr. Nicole LePera, The Holistic Psychologist “A journey through the many rhythms of Latin America, Finding Rhythm shows sincere appreciation for Latin Americans, their warmth, and close social relationships. Aliénor Salmon reminds us about the central importance of human connection as the key to our happiness in the journey of life.”—Mariano Rojas, happiness economist and former president of the International Society for Quality of Life Studies“With Finding Rhythm, Aliénor Salmon brings Latin America’s rich cultural heritage to life through a vivid, accessible, and entertaining story.”—Tim Curtis, anthropologist and UNESCO cultural heritage expert“As she dances her way through Latin America, Aliénor Salmon offers a fascinating inside glimpse of local life. Think Bourdain, but with dance instead of food, and buoyancy over cynicism. Finding Rhythm strikes a balance between research and adventure that will make you feel like you are there.”—Joe Cummings, travel writer and best-selling Lonely Planet author“An incredible story of stepping out of your comfort zone. Discover how dance can help you build confidence, find freedom, and truly bring out your best self.”—Griselle Ponce, world renowned Salsa dancer best known as The Mambo DivaTable of Contents Three Loves Lost Bangkok New York Mexico Cuba Dominican Republic Puerto Rico Colombia Brazil Argentina Afterword

I loved her tips and advice, plus, the beautiful color photographs immerse you within Naomi's story. A great read for anyone thinking of living the van life or curious about how others do it. -Kristin Hanes, publisher of The Wayward Home"Noami’s long been a leader in the world of vanlife. She’s a gifted educator and community builder who, in everything she does, strives to make the lifestyle more accessible for anyone who wants to partake. And this beautiful book is no exception.

Instead, she shares the nitty gritty of their travels with candor, grace, and humor. And by including sidebars and information for individuals who have long been marginalized in vanlife, Noami makes sure everyone is taken along for the ride." — Gale Straub, author of She Explores: Adventures on the Road and in the Wild

Peter Lang AG Primitivismus und Afrikanismus: Kunst und Kultur
Book SynopsisDiese Arbeit ist ein aktueller Beitrag zur Primitivismus-Diskussion. Die Rezeption der Kunst und Kultur Afrikas und die Verarbeitung jener thèmes nègres in der Avantgarde läßt einen Diskurswandel erkennen: die in der frühen Ethnologie und Kolonialliteratur abgewertete Kultur Afrikas wird hier umgewertet, ja aufgewertet. Das Interesse der wichtigsten Avantgarden Dadaismus, Expressionismus, Futurismus, Kubismus, Surrealismus für die Plastik und Dichtung Afrikas war so groß, daß jene primitive Kunst zum Merkmal der Avantgarde erhoben werden kann. Das Primitive und der Primitivismus: der zentrale Begriff der avantgardistischen Afrika-Rezeption ist Aufwertungsversuchen zum Trotz wegen seiner negativen Konnotationen nach wie vor umstritten. Nach einer Analyse der Formen und Funktionen des Primitivismus wird hier der neutrale und deskriptiv aussagekräftige Begriff Afrikanismus in Analogie zu Orientalismus und Japonismus geprägt.

Double 9 Books Mercenary
Book SynopsisMack Reynolds' novel Mercenary is a science fiction novel. This thought-provoking tale takes place in a future society dominated by political beliefs, power struggles, and international interactions. Miles Gilbert, the protagonist, is a professional mercenary, a soldier for hire in a world where nations no longer fight traditional wars but instead hire mercenaries to fight on their behalf. Gilbert is a multifaceted figure who navigates a morally confusing environment where loyalty, politics, and personal ethics collide. As the novel progresses, Gilbert becomes engaged in a succession of worldwide wars, each of which is motivated by the interests of strong nations and companies. His experiences shed insight on the complex mechanics of a society where conflict has become a profitable business. Mack Reynolds deftly employs Mercenary as a vehicle for exploring themes of war, diplomacy, and the ethics of violence. The story explores concerns about the role of mercenaries in influencing nations' fates, as well as the blurred lines between patriotism and profit. Mercenary is a politically charged and intellectually fascinating work of science fiction that asks readers to consider the implications of a society in which violence is outsourced to private warriors.
