Abstract
The weather looked perfect when Jamie Andrew and his closest friend, Jamie Fisher set off to climb the formidable North Face of Les Droites in the French Alps in 1999. But a sudden and ferocious storm hit them 10,000 feet up the mountain. They were trapped on a narrow ridge in temperatures of -30C, battered by winds so strong the rescue helicopters could not reach them. After five nightmarish nights doggedly clinging to life, Jamie Andrew was finally rescued; but his friend Jamie Fisher had died beside him on the last night. -- From inside cover

The HANDY VOLUME ATLAS OF THE WORLD has long enjoyed a large measure of popularity as the most complete and accurate Compendium of Geographical Information of its size published. The evidence of this continued popularity lies in the fact that, since it was first produced under the Editorship of the eminent Geographer, the late Dr. E. G. Ravenstein, no fewer than fourteen large editions have been issued. In this, the FIFTEENTH EDITION, the present Editor has endeavoured to deserve a continuance of that popularity, by making the new issue of the Atlas a complete SURVEY of POST-WAR GEOGRAPHY, exhibiting, in their natural order, the territorial changes and political changes throughout the World effected by the Peace Treaties and Agreements following the Great War. -- Excerpt from Preface, p. v

As the flames playing about the burning driftwood logs weave together many beautiful shades and colorings, so in this collection of verse, the author presents many delightful phases of fancy and imagination, skilful tone-colorings and word melodies. Mrs. Mackay has a sensitive ear for the music of words and an instinctive feeling for rhythm. She has both imagination and humor, and a keen appreciation of the wonderful and the beautiful. Many of the lyrics in this collection have a universal emotional appeal while others reproduce with accuracy and fidelity a distinctively Canadian background and atmosphere. The author's many admirers will eagerly welcome this volume. -- From interior dust jacket

Abstract
Living at the limits of our ordinary perception, mosses are a common but largely unnoticed element of the natural world. Gathering moss is a mix of science and personal reflection that invites readers to explore and learn from the elegantly simple lives of mosses. In this series of linked personal essays, Robin Kimmerer leads general readers and scientists alike to an understanding of how mosses live and how their lives are intertwined with the lives of countless other beings. Kimmerer explains the biology of mosses clearly and artfully, while at the same time reflecting on what these fascinating organisms have to teach us. Drawing on her experiences as a scientist, a mother, and a Native American, Kimmerer explains the stories of mosses in scientific terms as well as in the framework of indigenous ways of knowing. In her book, the natural history and cultural relationships of mosses become a powerful metaphor for ways of living in the world. -- From back cover
