Download or read book Kings of the Yukon written by Adam Weymouth and published by Penguin Group. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Yukon River is 2,000 miles long and the longest stretch of free-flowing river in the United States. In this riveting examination of one of the last wild places on earth, Adam Weymouth canoes from Canada's Yukon Territory, through Alaska, to the Bering Sea. The result is a book that shows how even the most remote wilderness is affected by the same forces reshaping the rest of the planet. Every summer, hundreds of thousands of king salmon migrate the distance of the Yukon to their spawning grounds, where they breed and die, in what is the longest salmon run in the world. For the people who live along the river, salmon were once the lifeblood of commerce and local culture. But climate change and globalized economy have fundamentally altered the balance between people and nature; the health and numbers of king salmon are in question, as is the fate of the communities that depend on them. Traveling down the Yukon as the salmon migrate, a four-month journey through untrammeled landscape, Weymouth traces the fundamental interconnectedness of people and fish through searing and unforgettable portraits of the individuals he encounters. He offers a powerful, nuanced glimpse into indigenous cultures, and into our ever-complicated relationship with the natural world. Weaving in the rich history of salmon across time as well as the science behind their mysterious life cycle, 'Kings of the Yukon' is extraordinary adventure and nature writing at its most urgent and poetic"--Dust jacket.

Finally the Klondyke froze over and we struck camp and loading our sleds started up the river. The surface of the ice in these rivers is very rough, as when the freeze begins there is strong objection made by the current to being frozen in. The ice breaks loose and drifts down until it lodges against a bank, bar, or other ice, when the freeze continues. It freezes out from the banks and obstructions and. finally spans the whole river. This ice is dislodged and is then called "slush ice," and in breaking up at the jams forms a very rough surface. We managed, however, to wend our way up the Klondyke, then along Bonanza Creek until we reached Eldorado Creek. At this time, gold had not been found in any quantity on the Eldorado. Here we pitched our tent and commenced work on a house for winter quarters. The season was late and we must hurry it as much as possible. We got logs and placed them, one upon another, putting a thick layer of BUILDING US A CABIN 91 moss between, and covered the roof with moss and dirt to the depth of a foot. Fortunately, we had been able to procure a sash and a pair of hinges at Dawson City, so we had a window and a swinging door as luxuries. We called this cabin "Moss House" and it was here that we remained during the long, cold, dark winter. Of course we made some furniture, which was more useful than elegant. We had now secured a roof over our heads (so to speak), and as our larder was reasonably well stocked we felt...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of Cheryl Strayed, the gripping story of a biologist's human-powered journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Arctic to rediscover her love of birds, nature, and adventure. During graduate school, as she conducted experiments on the peculiarly misshapen beaks of chickadees, ornithologist Caroline Van Hemert began to feel stifled in the isolated, sterile environment of the lab. Worried that she was losing her passion for the scientific research she once loved, she was compelled to experience wildness again, to be guided by the sounds of birds and to follow the trails of animals. In March of 2012, she and her husband set off on a 4,000-mile wilderness journey from the Pacific rainforest to the Alaskan Arctic, traveling by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe. Together, they survived harrowing dangers while also experiencing incredible moments of joy and grace -- migrating birds silhouetted against the moon, the steamy breath of caribou, and the bond that comes from sharing such experiences. A unique blend of science, adventure, and personal narrative, The Sun is a Compass explores the bounds of the physical body and the tenuousness of life in the company of the creatures who make their homes in the wildest places left in North America. Inspiring and beautifully written, this love letter to nature is a lyrical testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Winner of the 2019 Banff Mountain Book Competition: Adventure Travel
