The Earth Beneath My Feet is the first of two books that describe an epic 7,000-mile wilderness walk across an entire continent. Like millions of people, Andrew Terrill grew up on the edge of a big city. But for Terrill, suburban life felt predictable and crowded - the days lacked purpose and meaning. What he craved was a life of freedom, adventure and simplicity, and after nearly dying in the Swiss Alps that was the life he chose. In May 1997 he left his London home and travelled to the southernmost point of Calabria, Italy. Once there, he turned north and began walking, headed for Norway's North Cape. Leaving civilisation behind, Terrill journeyed deep into the 'other Europe', the hidden wilderness Europe that still exists beyond road's end. Hiking from the Apennine mountain range - a wild side of Italy few outsiders ever know - to the vast northern wildernesses of Arctic Norway, Terrill immersed himself in the natural world, forever seeking a deeper connection with it. The 18-month journey became a voyage of discovery, unveiling the secrets and treasures of Europe's least-known places. The miles brought hardships and struggles, pushed Terrill to his limits, but ultimately led to unimaginable rewards. The Earth Beneath My Feet covers the journey's first eight months, taking readers the entire length of Italy during a searing-hot summer, and across Austria into the depths of an Alpine winter. It is a compelling tale of adventure told with freshness, optimism, wonder and youthful enthusiasm - an inspiring true story of a young man who chose to embrace life and live it to the full. | Author: Andrew Terrill | Publisher: Enchanted Rock Press, Llc | Publication Date: Sep 01, 2022 | Number of Pages: 394 pages | Language: English | Binding: Hardcover | ISBN-10: 1737068648 | ISBN-13: 9781737068648

Essayist, poet, and philosopher Henry David Thoreau (1817–62) ranks among America's foremost nature writers. The Concord, Massachusetts, native spent most of his life observing the natural world of New England. His thoughts on leading a simple, independent life remain a foundation of modern environmentalism, as captured in Walden, his best-known work. Canoeing in the Wilderness, the 1857 diary of a two-week sojourn in Maine, chronicles the author's travels with a friend and a Native American guide. In the mid-nineteenth century, the Maine woodlands were still in pristine condition, inhabited by a handful of Native Americans, pioneer farmers, the occasional lumberjack, and a rich and diverse wildlife population. Thoreau's poetic yet realistic observations of the landscape are accompanied by his accounts of day-to-day events. From camping by the waterside and waking to birdsong to enduring mosquitoes and cloudbursts, he writes with grace and clarity that bring the American wilderness to vivid life. canoe, canoeing, Thoreau, Maine, Paddle, Native American, Forest, woods, camping, stagecoach, Moose, Bangor, spruce, Backpack, portage, campfire, loon

Sometimes funny, sometimes gut-wrenching, Whyte's candid journal is a colourful, blow-by-blow account of a rigorous 1,400 kilometre transit of sub-arctic Canada from Yellowknife to the Arctic Ocean by paddle and portage. His writing vividly portrays the highs and lows of extended wilderness travel, including gruelling portages, broken canoes, and unintentional ice-water swims, softened by camaraderie, amazing scenery and the unexpected generosity of people encountered along the way. Packed with historical background, logistical details, and personal reflections on life in the wilderness, Whyte's entertaining tale is an excellent companion for day dreamers and trip planners alike. Starting in the boreal forest and crossing both the tree line and the arctic circle, the author and three companions took an inside passage from Great Slave Lake to Arctic Sound via Pike's Portage, Artillery Lake, Aylmer Lake, Contwoyto Lake and the rocky, deranged drainage of the tundra, culminating in a high-speed, source to sea run of the Hood river to the Arctic Ocean. An avid reader of exploration history, Whyte's narrative is interwoven with the journals of the likes of Mackenzie, Hearn, Franklin and Hornby as the author and his companions crossed the trails these adventurers forged through the vast regions north of the 60th parallel. The reverberations from this journey continued long after its completion and ultimately caused the author to reconsider his life's direction. An unforgettable account of a memorable journey though Canada's barren lands, told with a well-balanced combination of humour and humility. Well illustrated with 23 maps and 36 photographs. | Author: David C. Whyte | Publisher: David C.
