Disappearance, a Map
His vanishing leads her back to earlier searches - for the lost Franklin expedition and for the elusive glory of the North Pole.
Blackbird Flying
Sheila Nickerson's latest work, Blackbird Flying, defies categories. Grounded in the surprising details of family memoir, it expands to an exploration of mystery, "where solid is not solid and the shore is never certain," and lament unfurls to celebration. Sheila has published widely in poetry and creative non-fiction. She spent twenty-seven years in Juneau, Alaska, where she served as Poet Laureate and taught creative writing in public schools, universities, and prisons. Now a resident of Bellingham, Washington, she recalls the migratory winters she has spent on the coast of South Carolina.
Midnight to the North
In a dark back alley, Boone and Andre witness a violent murder, and agree not to mention it. But the killers have different ideas and come after Boone and his friends, killing two of them. Boone is desperate to save himself but realizes to do so he will need to face the violent act in his past that continues to haunt him. Told in Norah McClintock's trademark suspenseful style and with spare black-and-white illustrations from Mike Deas, this compelling graphic novel looks into the darkness and forces us to face our deepest fears.

The Harriman Alaska Expedition Retraced
"Following the ship's route, the book addresses wilderness conservation biology and ecology, American history, natural history and anthropology, and travel and exploration."--Jacket.
Harnessed to the Pole
Starting with Eliza Kent Kane in 1853 and ending with Robert Peary in 1909, "Harnessed to the Pole" is a unique study of the nineteenth-century sledge dogs that led American explorers to the North Pole. Almost totally ignored in their exploits, these dogs made possible what never could have occurred otherwise: an American claim on the Pole. Even if we do not know their names, we know that they pulled with all their hearts, even though they were fed little, driven hard, and sometimes left to die along the trail. Often referred to as little camels of the north, these courageous partners provided transportation of people and freight through extremely difficult conditions, protected against wolves and polar bears, helped in the hunt, found their way through storms, and provided warmth in extreme cold, meat in times of starvation, and even skins for clothes. Most importantly, they provided companionship in a hostile world poised on the edge of death and madness. Here is the untold story of these extraordinary dogs, truly man's best but least known friend in the race to reach the Pole."
Postwestern Cultures
Synthesizes topics of contemporary scholarship of the American West. This work examines subjects ranging from the use of frontier rhetoric in Japanese American internment camp narratives to the emergence of agricultural tourism in the New West to the application of geographer J B Jackson's theories to vernacular or abandoned western landscapes.
The Choice
A small town's quiet peacefulness is shattered by the strange disappearance of small animals and then the contents of an infant's gravesite. No one wants to believe it's more than vandalism until it turns to kidnapping and then suicide. Will the local preacher and the lady sheriff's deputy be able to convince the authorities a Satanic group is responsioble, or will they be the next victims? The choice is an utterly captivating and unnerving tale of what most of us would rather not admit happens in real life in our town!
