Free Download Mike Cawthorne, "Wilderness Dreams: The Call of Scotland’s Last Wild Places"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 1903238900 | EPUB | pages: 196 | 6.1 mb
This book has been a long time in the writing. While Mike Cawthorne’s life over the last two decades has been mostly involved in climbing and journalism, he has managed to stow away a large memory bank of experiences of his times spent deep within the wilderness areas of Scotland. These 8 extended essays begin with a canoe trip down the River Dee in 2002 ("Tale of Two Rivers") and his epic round of the Munros in the company of his friend Dave Hughes in 1986 ("Paupers and Kings"). "Terra Ingognita" deals with the Monadliath mountains, ‘one of the last places left on these crowded islands where you can experience genuine solitude’. "Crofting on the Edge" deals with people Mike has encountered who have chosen to live in the most remote and inaccessible areas of Scotland as does "The Hermit’s Story", which describes the life that James McRory-Smith chose to lead in Strathailleach, a shepherd’s cottage near Cape Wrath. "A Last Wild Place" describes the ruination of many of these wilderness areas and the efforts made by large energy companies to exploit these special places. ‘…only wilderness if you can be killed and eaten’ is a quote by American writer Edward Abbey referring to grizzly bears stalking humans in the Rockies. Mike recalls this in "Dying for Trees" as he spends a day on Creag Meagaidh with a deer-stalking party where a minor bio-diversity miracle has taken place by carefully controlling deer numbers to allow the spread of broadleaf woodland. "Scotland’s Alaska" is the final essay on Sutherland’s flow country…’the best and worst of wild Britain.’

Free Download A.A. den Otter, "Civilizing the Wilderness: Culture and Nature in Pre-Confederation Canada and Rupert’s Land"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0888645465 | PDF | pages: 473 | 10.5 mb
In this collection of essays, A.A. den Otter explores the meaning of the concepts "civilizing" and "wilderness" within an 1850s Euro-British North American context. At the time, den Otter argues, these concepts meant something quite different than they do today. Through careful readings and researches of a variety of lesser known individuals and events, den Otter teases out the striking dichotomy between "civilizing" and "wilderness," leading readers to a new understanding of the relationship between newcomers and Native peoples, and the very lands they inhabited. Historians and non-specialists with an interest in western Canadian native, settler, and environmental-economic history will be deeply rewarded by reading Civilizing the Wilderness.

When Kobie Krüger, her game-ranger husband and their three young daughters moved to one of the most isolated corners of the world – a remote ranger station in the Mahlangeni region of South Africa’s vast Kruger National Park – she might have worried that she would become engulfed with loneliness and boredom.

Free Download Susan Power, "Sacred Wilderness"
English | ISBN: 161186111X | 2014 | 268 pages | PDF | 956 KB
A Clan Mother story for the twenty-first century, Sacred Wildernessexplores the lives of four women of different eras and backgrounds who come together to restore foundation to a mixed-up, mixed-blood woman-a woman who had been living the American dream, and found it a great maw of emptiness. These Clan Mothers may be wisdom-keepers, but they are anything but stern and aloof-they are women of joy and grief, risking their hearts and sometimes their lives for those they love. The novel swirls through time, from present-day Minnesota to the Mohawk territory of the 1620s, to the ancient biblical world, brought to life by an indigenous woman who would come to be known as the Virgin Mary. The Clan Mothers reveal secrets, the insights of prophecy, and stories that are by turns comic, so painful they can break your heart, and perhaps even powerful enough to save the world. In lyrical, lushly imagined prose, Sacred Wildernessis a novel of unprecedented necessity.
