Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Many readers are already familiar with Madeleine Kunin, the former three-term governor of Vermont, who served as the deputy secretary of education and ambassador to Switzerland under President Bill Clinton. In her newest book, a memoir entitled Coming of Age: My Journey to the Eighties, the topic is aging, but she looks well beyond the physical tolls and explores the emotional ones as well. And she has had an extraordinary life: governor, ambassador, feminist, wife, mother, professor, poet, and much, much more.As recently reported in the New York Times, a girl born today can expect to live to the age of ninety, on average (boys, on the other hand, can expect to live until age eighty-five). Life expectancy, for many, is increasing, yet people rarely contemplate the emotional changes that come alongside the physical changes of aging. Madeleine wants to change that. Coming of Age: My Journey to the Eighties takes a close and incisive look at what it is like to grow old. The book is a memoir, yet most important of all, it is an honest and positive look at aging and how it has affected her life. Cover photo Todd Lockwood.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A poignant memoir weaving personal loss with the climate crisis.While Glaciers Slept explores the parallel impacts of climate change on a family and the planet, revealing how intertwined these events can be. Dr. M Jackson shares her journey of grief alongside the deterioration of Earths climate, offering a powerful message of resilience and hope. As she navigates the loss of her parents, Dr. Jackson guides us through the science of climate change, bringing us along on expeditions to research glacier recession and advocate for environmental solutions. From Alaska to Zambia, she illuminates the human cost of a planet in crisis, urging us to confront our inaction and imagine a more sustainable future.Understand the science and human impact of climate changeFind inspiration for environmental action and personal resilienceDiscover a powerful story of grief, hope, and the interconnectedness of life For readers of environmental literature, memoirs, and anyone seeking to make sense of our changing world. While Glaciers Slept weaves together the parallel stories of what happens when the climates of a family and a planet change. M Jackson, a noted scientist and National Geographic Expert, reveals how these events are deeply intertwined, and how the deterioration of her parents' health was as devastating as the inexorable changing of Earth's climate. Jackson poses a stark question: if losing one's parents is so devastating, how can we survive the destruction of the planet that sustains us? Jackson draws both literal and metaphorical parallels between the degradation of the climate and her parents' struggles with cancer. Nonetheless, Jackson shows that even in the darkest of times we cannot lose hope. Jackson guides us to solar, wind, and geothermal solutions, bringing us along on her expeditions to research climate change and to educate people about how to stop it. Scientists are continually looking for better ways to translate hard science into human language and that is precisely what this book does. While Glaciers Slept shows us that the story of one family can be the story of one planet, and that climate change has a human face. Climate change, she convinces us, is not just about science--it is also about the audacity of human courage and imagination.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Inspired partly by her own spirit of adventure, and partly by the stories of her native coastal ancestors, Irene Skyriver celebrated her fortieth year of life with a solo kayak voyage, paddling from Alaska to her home in Washington's San Juan Islands. Paddling with Spirits: A Solo Kayak Journey interweaves the true account of her journey with generational stories handed down and vividly re-imagined. Beginning with her great-grandmother's seduction of an Indian fighter turned trader, and following her ancestors on both sides through oil booms, orphanages, wartime romances, dance halls and cattle ranches, Paddling with Spirits dips like a paddle itself between the stories of those who inspired her, and Irene's own journey down a lonely coast. As she encounters harsh weather, wolves, bears, whales, and the wild beauty of the coastal waters, she reflects upon her own life and on the lives of the many people she meets along the way before her final, triumphant return home. Paddling with Spirits is a wild, brave, and thrillingly original adventure. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Geographer, adventurer, environmental educator, 2018 TED Fellow and National Geographic Society Emerging Explorer Dr. M Jackson studies and writes about glaciers and climate change worldwide. Seeking to understand the wild diversity and complexity that exists between people and ice, Jackson lived for a year on the south-eastern coast of Iceland, chronicling in The Secret Lives of Glaciers the cultural and societal impacts of glacier change on local communities. Jackson interviewed hundreds of Icelanders living in close proximity to ice, seeking to understand just what was at stake as the islands ice disappeared. Painstakingly detailed, Jackson recounts stories of glaciers told by people throughout the region, stories exploring the often conflicting and controversial plasticity of glaciers, the power glaciers enact in society, the possible sentience of glaciers, and the range of intertwined positive and negative consequences glacier change produces throughout Iceland. The Secret Lives of Glaciers reaches beyond Iceland and touches on changing glaciers everywhere, revealing oft-overlooked interactions between people and ice throughout human history.The Secret Lives of Glaciers delivers a critical message: understanding glaciers and people together teaches us about how human society worldwide experiences being in the world today amidst increasing climatic changes and anthropogenic transformation of all of Earths systems. Instead of creating another catalogue of all the ice the world is losing, The Secret Lives of Glaciers explores what we may yet find with glaciers: hope for humanity, and the possibility of saving this worlds glaciers.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In Your Own Ones, Sle Post's "poetic, storytelling voice, courage to write about big issues, great heart, and real personal vision" [Frank Howard Mosher], shape this lyrical, visionary novel of one woman's transcendental journey back to the old country, now lost in the unsustainable ways of the new. For wild salmon conservationist, ine O'Connor, the journey of the wild salmon charts the route of her own journey back-to the rivers of her birth on Celtic Dingle Peninsula-to continue a thousand year family tradition of protecting the land and sea. When the economic tide suddenly turns in Ireland, ine launches a Celtic Roots Campaigninitiative-through which she re-casts the Joycean 'nightmare' of Irish history into a sustainable dream for the country's future. The preservationist passion that flows through Your Own Ones-"reminiscent of Barbara Kingsolver, with echoes of the warmth and humor of Maeve Binchy" [Joyce Mandeville, Orange Prize nominee]-will appeal to a wide range of readers, both caretakers of the land and of the heart. "Come Away," (in the words of W.B. Yeats), "to the waters & the wild" of Your Own Ones-an Irish State of Wonder. Wild salmon conservationist aAine O'Connor works to protect the land and sea both in her current home of Print Edward Island as well as her ancestral home of Dingle Peninsula, Ireland.
