In Kim Heacox's suspenseful debut novel, Shannon DeShay, a young woman from Alaska discovers a militant plot to destroy an environmental movement and must risk everything to save a wildlife refuge and the man she loves. At the nexus is a real issue: attempts by the petroleum industry--and most of Alaska's political and business leaders--to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. From Anchorage and Alaska's North Slope to Washington D.C. and the halls of Congress, this is a compelling story of intrigue, landscape, and love.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Der Mount Kailash in Asien, die Black Hills in Nordamerika oder der Uluru in Australien: Rund um den Erdball gibt es zahlreiche Berge, denen in Geschichte und Gegenwart Heiligkeit zugesprochen wird. Die religiose Verehrung erfolgt mit Gebet, Meditation und Wallfahrt. Man kann diese Berge als Sonden gebrauchen, um hinter das Aussere der Gesellschaften zu blicken. Eine Kontrastfolie dazu bildet das Christentum, das lange wenig Interesse fur die Natur aufbrachte. Erst die europaische Gebirgsforschung und der Alpinismus sorgten fur eine gewisse Offnung. Im Zeitalter des Kolonialismus entstanden so vielfaltige Spannungen. Die Dekolonisation und die okologischen Wende veranderten die religiose Deutungsmacht und gaben der Rede uber heilige Berge einen neuen Sinn. Global bleiben sie indessen ein hervorragendes Beispiel fur kulturelle Diversitat, das auch Fragen der Gendergerechtigkeit und des Umweltschutzes beruhrt.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Winner, National Outdoor Book Award "Part quest, part rebirth, Heacox's debut novel spins a story of Alaska's Tlingit people and the land, an old man dying, and a young man learning to live."?Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A splendid, unique gem of a novel."?Library Journal (starred review) "Heacox does a superb job of transcending his characters? unique geography to create a heartwarming, all-American story."?Booklist "What makes this story so appealing is the character Old Keb. He is as finely wrought and memorable as any character in contemporary literature and energizes the tale with a humor and warmth that will keep you reading well into the night."?National Outdoor Book Awards Old Keb Wisting is somewhere around ninety-five years old (he lost count awhile ago) and in constant pain and thinks he wants to die. He also thinks he thinks too much. Part Norwegian and part Tlingit Native (?with some Filipino and Portuguese thrown in?), he?s the last living canoe carver in the village of Jinkaat, in Southeast Alaska. When his grandson, James, a promising basketball player, ruins his leg in a logging accident and tells his grandpa that he has nothing left to live for, Old Keb comes alive and finishes his last canoe, with help from his grandson. Together (with a few friends and a crazy but likeable dog named Steve) they embark on a great canoe journey. Suddenly all of Old Keb?s senses come into play, so clever and wise in how he reads the currents, tides, and storms. Nobody can find him. He and the others paddle deep into wild Alaska, but mostly into the human heart, in a story of adventure, love, and reconciliation. With its rogue?s gallery of colorful, endearing, small-town characters, this book stands as a wonderful blend of Mark Twain?s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and John Nichols?s The Milagro Beanfield War, with dashes of John Steinbeck thrown in.…
