Book excerpt: Just over one hundred years ago Kristian Birkeland looked into the night sky of his native Norway and saw in the beautiful Northern Lights a mystery waiting to be solved. Determined to prove to the world his bold theory about the heavens above, this misunderstood genius began a quest that would take him from Norway's ice mountains to the deserts of Africa, and across a continent ravaged by war. It was a quest that alienated friends and family, ruined his health and sanity, and ended in his mysterious death in a Japanese hotel in 1917. Lucy Jago brilliantly tells the fascinating and tragic story of Kristian Birkeland, the man who saw in the night sky a secret that no one else could see, but who died trying to convince the world of his vision.

Download or read book Northern Light written by Roy MacGregor and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER FINALIST FOR THE OTTAWA BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION Roy MacGregor's lifelong fascination with Tom Thomson first led him to write Canoe Lake, a novel inspired by a distant relative's affair with one of Canada's greatest painters. Now, MacGregor breaks new ground, re-examining the mysteries of Thomson's life, loves and violent death in the definitive non-fiction account. Why does a man who died almost a century ago and painted relatively little still have such a grip on our imagination? The eccentric spinster Winnie Trainor was a fixture of Roy MacGregor's childhood in Huntsville, Ontario. She was considered too odd to be a truly romantic figure in the eyes of the town, but the locals knew that Canada's most famous painter had once been in love with her, and that she had never gotten over his untimely death. She kept some paintings he gave her in a six-quart basket she'd leave with the neighbours on her rare trips out of town, and in the summers she'd make the trip from her family cottage, where Thomson used to stay, on foot to the graveyard up the hill, where fans of the artist occasionally left bouquets. There she would clear away the flowers. After all, as far as anyone knew, he wasn't there: she had arranged at his family's request for him to be exhumed and moved to a cemetery near Owen Sound. As Roy MacGregor's richly detailed Northern Light reveals, not much is as it seems when it comes to Tom Thomson, the most iconic of Canadian painters. Philandering deadbeat or visionary artist and gentleman, victim of accidental drowning or deliberate murder, the man's myth has grown to obscure the real view—and the answers to the mysteries are finally revealed in these pages.

Book excerpt: A streetwise James Jesse Dowell wouldn’t buy the legend of some Eskimo beast/god until James witnessed the soul-crazed bush doctor come to horrifying life at forty thousand feet in the Arctic sky. Now James must stalk said demon/sawbones and kill the beast that rules Charles Patrick MacHenery’s soul, or James, his terrified self, will never be free of the maddening curse that’s pounding ever louder in his spinning head like some demonic sealskin drum. But how does one destroy a suspect werewolf that can only die by a loving hand? That is through an escaped moon demon that hasn’t made fulfilling love in over 530 chain-shackled years and desperately desires to know. That said manlike beast has been trapped by his new eternal love—Ms. Amanda De’la’ray. She’s as witchy as the swampy Louisiana wilds she fairly rules, face scarred and moonshine giggly as she’s already been left by a fanged local devil. “Prays ya never sees the devil, Mr. Dowell.”
