Crocodiles and ice : a journey into deep wild / by Turk, Jonathan,author.(CARDINAL)334372;

Prologue -- From a prison in Jordan to the jaws of a crocodile -- Trial by ice: circumnavigation of Ellesmere Island -- Bike ride to the Dalai Lama's birthplace -- Life in the city: death on a glacier -- Acknowledgements.Crocodiles and Ice recounts Jon Turk's journey from suburban Connecticut into Deep Wild, an ancient passage, repeated--in one form or another--a zillion times, and ignored just as often. It is a storyteller's passage of discovery, full of high adventure and humour on his multiple award-winning Ellesmere Circumnavigation, as well as on expeditions in the jungles and oceans of the Solomon Islands, on the Himalayan plateau, and across the mountains of northern British Columbia. Throughout all these expeditions, Crocodiles and Ice explores a Consciousness Revolution toward a personal, spiritual, and reciprocal relationship with the planet--even as our oil-soaked, internet-crazed, consumer-oriented society rushes rapidly and recklessly into massive and catastrophic climate change. He invites his readers to listen to our ancestors, a wolf that lingers, a Siberian shaman, a Chinese bicycle nomad, a lonely Tlingit warrior laying down to die in a storm, and the landscapes themselves. Because beyond technological marvels and imagined responsibility, there lies a glorious and sustainable lifestyle that is based, not on consumerism and consumption, but on Deep Wild as a place of solace, sanity, and hope.

Tracking lions, myth, and wilderness in Samburu / by Turk, Jonathan,author.(CARDINAL)334372;

While tracking a lion with a Samburu headman, Jon Turk experiences people at their best and worst. Jon reveals how the stories we tell each other, and the stories spinning in our heads, can be moulded into innovation, love and co-operation - or harnessed to launch armies. Set in a high-adventure narrative on the unforgiving savannah, Turk explores the aboriginal wisdoms that endowed our Stone Age ancestors with the power to survive - and how, since then, myth, art, music, dance, and ceremony have often been hijacked and distorted within our urban, scientific, oil-soaked world.

The religion / by Willocks, Tim.(CARDINAL)382384;

"Originally published in 2006 by Jonathan Cape, Great Britain"--T.p. versoAn epic account of the Turkish siege of Malta. Young Tannhauser is kidnapped by Muslim raiders and trained as a holy warrior before winning his release and settling in Sicily, where he becomes a prosperous arms dealer. His comfortable life is interrupted by the arrival of Contessa Carla La Penautier, a young widow who uses her considerable charms (and title) to recruit Tannhauser to help her find Orlandu, the bastard son she was forced to abandon at birth 12 years earlier. Arriving on Malta, where Carla believes her son is, Tannhauser and Carla get caught in the Turkish attack on the Christian enclave. Meanwhile, Orlandu's father, Ludovico Ludovici, a monk and feared inquisitor, has returned to Malta with hopes of bringing Malta under papal control. Tannhauser has to find Orlandu, unmask the scheming and unscrupulous Ludovici, survive vicious combat against the Turks, win Carla's heart and find a way to escape the "island of fanatics and fools."
