The whole history of human settlement lay exposed there, under that big northern sky. There was nowhere here for bones to hide. On Craig Island, a vast landscape of ice north of the Arctic Circle, three travellers are hunting duck.
Among them is expert Inuit hunter and guide, Edie Kiglatuk; a woman born of this harsh, beautiful terrain. The two men are tourists, experiencing Arctic life in the raw, but when one of the men is shot dead in mysterious circumstances, the local Council of Elders in the tiny settlement of Autisaq is keen to dismiss it as an accident. Then two adventurers arrive in Autisaq hoping to search for the remains of the legendary Victorian explorer Sir James Fairfax.
The men hire Edie - whose ancestor Welatok guided Fairfax - along with Edie's stepson Joe, and two parties set off in different directions. Four days later, Joe returns to Autisaq frostbitten, hypothermic and disoriented, to report his man missing. And when things take an even darker turn, Edie finds herself heartbroken, and facing the greatest challenge of her life .
. . `A blazing star of a thriller: vivid, tightly-sprung, and satisfying on all levels.
Encountering Edie Kiglatuk, the toughest, smartest Arctic heroine since Miss Smilla, left me with that rare feeling of privilege you get on meeting extraordinary people in real life. A huge achievement' Liz Jensen, author of The Rapture 'Edie is an ingenious and original creation but the most addictive character is the Arctic itself' Sunday Telegraph

Introducing Deep Ends: The J.G. Ballard Anthology 2014, a 200-page, full-size, full-colour collection of work by and about J.G. Ballard. Deep Ends features an ultra-rare 1980 prose-poem by JGB called Crystal of the Sea, discovered as the Foreword to an obscure Japanese photo book, plus previously-unpublished articles by Bea Ballard and Iain Sinclair, plus a long and extraordinary interview with Fay Ballard by David Pringle. But wait, there's more! The book's contents include: - J.G. Ballard's symbolic essay, "Crystal of the Sea" - Bea Ballard's heartfelt homage: "Miracle Father" - David Pringle's great interview: "Memories of Life: Conversation with Fay Ballard" - Ana Barrado's highly Ballardian photos of south Florida: "Neotropic Cyphers" - Raymond Tait's fascinating history: "J.G. Ballard at The Leys School, Cambridge, 1946 to 1949" - Mike Bonsall's imaginative journey: "Mind-Mapping The Terminal Beach" - D. Harlan Wilson's rather unbelievable essay: "Geometry of Mourning" - Russell Cuzner's interview with Andy Sharp of English Heretic about JGB's use of magic. - Umberto Rossi's analysis of "War Fever" and "Theatre of War", called "Is the War Inside Your Mind?" - Mike Holliday's "J.G. Ballard and the Vicissitudes of Time" examines "News From the Sun", "Memories of the Space Age" and "Myths of the near Future" - Lawrence Russell recalls creating 30-minute radio plays of "The Dead Astronaut" and "Question of Re-Entry" for the CBC in his remembrance "Brain Scan of a Dead Script Writer" - Paul Green offers a reverie of his favourite JGB short story in "Dreaming of the Towers" - Dominika Oramus fuses Ballard and Baudrillard in her topical essay, "War on Satellite TV in the Stories of J.G. Ballard" - Pippa Tandy does film analysis in "Personal Mythologies: An Account of James Runcie's 'Shanghai Jim'" - Bernard Sigaud goes fetishistic in "Piping Hot and Softly Blowing" - Feroze Alam imagines Balard in nine paintings: "Landscapes of the Dream" - Iain Sinclair gives us a geographic history of a life-size Ballard cut-out, complete with many photos, in his quite entertaining psycho-essay, "Thin Man Walking" - Christopher Cokinos gives us his book review of "A User's Guide to the Millennium" in "Book Review, Meet J.G. Ballard" - Rick McGrath talks JGB and movies with filmmaker Solveig Nordlund - Dan Mitchell shows us ]his surreal poster: "Zodiac Hilton" - Pedro Groppo delves into the cinematic deep with "Toy Planes, Home and Hearth: Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun" - Peter Brigg goes to the bottom of "The Drowned World" - Christopher Cokinos is very funny with his Ballardian pastiche, "Why I Want to Fuck Rupert Murdoch" - Umberto Rossi lists them all in the "J.G. Ballard Secondary Bibliography" The book also features five "Advertiser's Announcements" -- ersatz copies of the five famous "Atrocity Exhibition" advertisements Ballard made for Ambit magazine -- created by Will Shutes of the Test Centre and Traven T. Crowes. "Deep Ends" also, for the first time, features content from three Ballards at once. Plus the opportunity to read a new Ballard essay uncovered only last year. It's an amazing collection from a collection of amazing writers.

Описание: Melissa McCue-McGrath CPDT-KA, wrote this book in response to a dog nearly killing a 6'4" man and his German shepherd in her city. After that terrible incident and a decade of working with frustrated dogs in urban centers, she spoke with professionals in related dog industries. She consulted with veterinarians, rescue volunteers, behavior specialists, certified dog trainers, dog daycare providers, groomers and more to identify why urban dogs are failing, and what we need to do to help these dogs succeed. The same issues -- and solutions -- came up again and again across the board. This book explains how to find the right dog for a city environment; identifies how to find a good caretaker for your pet; defines "behaviorist"; explains how to get exercise for an athletic dog in a city of leash-laws; and pontificates on how to responsibly advocate for an urban dog. Most importantly, this book lays out how exactly to find reputable help for any possible issue, and holds your hand if things are not working as hoped. This is not a dog training book - there are thousands on the market already. Instead, this book will supplement any science-based training regimen. It gives insight as to why dogs do what they do, but perhaps more importantly, it explains why people do what they do and why we must do better for the sake of our urban dogs. We all need to do better - our urban dogs are in the balance.
