1. Beyond the Trees: A Journey Alone Across Canada's Arctic. By Adam Shoalts. Like New. Read once then shelved. Paperback 272 pgs.

National bestseller

A thrilling odyssey through an unforgiving landscape, from "Canada's greatest living explorer."

In the spring of 2017, Adam Shoalts, bestselling author and adventurer, set off on an unprecedented solo journey across North America's greatest wilderness. A place where, in our increasingly interconnected, digital world, it's still possible to wander for months without crossing a single road, or even see another human being.

Between his starting point in Eagle Plains, Yukon Territory, to his destination in Baker Lake, Nunavut, lies a maze of obstacles: shifting ice floes, swollen rivers, fog-bound lakes, and gale-force storms. And Shoalts must time his departure by the breakup of the spring ice, then sprint across nearly 4,000 kilometers of rugged, wild terrain to arrive before winter closes in.

He travels alone up raging rivers that only the most expert white-water canoeists dare travel even downstream. He must portage across fields of jagged rocks that stretch to the horizon, and navigate labyrinths of swamps, tormented by clouds of mosquitoes every step of the way. And the race against the calendar means that he cannot afford the luxuries of rest, or of making mistakes. Shoalts must trek tirelessly, well into the endless Arctic summer nights, at times not even pausing to eat.

But his reward is the adventure of a lifetime.



2. Stranded In Alaska. By Jeanette Basson. Like New. Read once then shelved. Paperback 217pgs.

Julie and Paul Stone, along with their faithful dog Bo, have finally reached a place in their lives that allows them to take the trip of their lifetimes. They are going to spend the entire summer in Alaska rebuilding an old neglected cabin and exploring their little piece of paradise. They're having the time of their lives when the unthinkable happens. This is a story of strength, perseverance, courage, and the determination to survive. It shows us the importance of listening to and learning from the people in our lives. It teaches us that when faced with unbearable obstacles and life-threatening situations, we all can dig deep, lean on our faith, and not just survive but thrive!



3. Accidental Adventures: Alaska By Chris Lundgren. Paperback 223 pgs.

America’s fascination with Alaska began at the turn of the last century, when Jack London and John Muir captivated readers with their fiction and nonfiction stories—and continues today with such popular books as Into the Wild and the explosion of Alaska reality TV shows. In such a giant and forbidding place, people lose their way. They hurt themselves. Their equipment fails. They clash with wildlife. And in Alaska, one stroke of bad luck—one small mistake—can mean catastrophe. This book recounts twenty true misadventures, all but one told from the survivor’s point of view. Its chapters describe getting lost in the wilderness, bear attacks, dead-stick landings, snowmobile mishaps , overturned canoes, and even escape from a steaming volcano. Told as cautionary tales, these chapters are not only a nail-biting good read on their own, but an illustration of the many perils of living, working, and recreating in the Last Frontier.
