Release date: 09-04-18

Publisher: ECW Press

Genres: Biography & Memoir

Summary:

Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!

A decade ago, novelist and short story writer Jean McNeil spent a year as writer-in-residence with the British Antarctic Survey, and four months on the worlds most enigmatic continent Ñ Antarctica. Access to the Antarctic remains largely reserved for scientists, and it is the only piece of earth that is nobodys country. Ice Diaries is the story of McNeils years spent in ice, not only in the Antarctic but her subsequent travels to Greenland, Iceland, and Svalbard, culminating in a strange event in Cape Town, South Africa, where she journeyed to make what was to be her final trip to the southernmost continent.

In the spirit of the diaries of Antarctic explorers Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton, McNeil mixes travelogue, popular science, and memoir to examine the history of our fascination with ice. In entering this world, McNeil unexpectedly finds herself confronting her own upbringing in the Maritimes, the lifelong effects of growing up in a cold place, and how the climates of childhood frame our emotional thermodynamics for life. Ice Diaries is a haunting story of the relationship between beauty and terror, loss and abandonment, transformation and triumph.

Publisher: ECW Press

Summary:

If you discovered a new market comprising 53% of the worlds population, would you act to invest in it?

There are 1.3 billion people around the world who identify as having a disability. When you include friends and family, the disability market touches 53% of all consumers. It is the worlds largest emerging market.

Unleash Different illustrates how companies like Google, PepsiCo, and Nordstrom are attracting people with disabilities as customers and as employees. Replacing nice to doÓ with return on investmentÓ allows market forces to take over and the worlds leading brands to do what they do best: serve a market segment Ñ in this case, the disability market.

Business managers will come to understand

how taking a charity-oriented approach to people with disabilities has failed,

what action is required to capitalize on the worlds biggest emerging market, and

how their organizations can grow revenue and cut costs by attracting people with disabilities as customers and talent.

Rich gives the reader a peek into how he rose from a Canadian school for crippled childrenÓ to manage $6 billion for one of Wall Streets leading firms. He makes it easy to relate to the business goal of serving disability Ñ because he has actually done it.

Summary:

Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!

The humble act of putting one foot in front of the other transcends age, geography, culture, and class, and is one of the most economical and environmentally responsible modes of transit. Yet with our modern fixation on speed, this healthy pedestrian activity has been largely left behind.

At a personal and professional crossroads, writer, editor, and obsessive walker Dan Rubinstein travelled throughout the U.S., U.K., and Canada to walk with people who saw the act not only as a form of transportation and recreation, but also as a path to a better world. There are no magic-bullet solutions to modern epidemics like obesity, anxiety, alienation, and climate change. But what if there is a simple way to take a step in the right direction? Combining fascinating reportage, eye-opening research, and Rubinsteins own discoveries, Born to Walk explores how far this ancient habit can take us, how much repair is within range, and guarantees that youll never again take walking for granted.
