A multicultural anthology, edited by Susan O’Connor and Annick Smith, about the enduring importance and shifting associations of the hearth in our world. A hearth is many things: a place for solitude; a source of identity; something we make and share with others; a history of ourselves and our homes. It is the fixed center we return to. It is just as intrinsically portable. It is, in short, the perfect metaphor for what we seek in these complex and contradictory times—set in flux by climate change, mass immigration, the refugee crisis, and the dislocating effects of technology. Featuring original contributions from some of our most cherished voices—including Terry Tempest Williams, Bill McKibben, Pico Iyer, Natasha Trethewey, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Chigozie Obioma—Hearth suggests that empathy and storytelling hold the power to unite us when we have wandered alone for too long. This is an essential anthology that challenges us to redefine home and hearth: as a place to welcome strangers, to be generous, to care for the world beyond one’s own experience.

Due to changing climates and demographics, questions of policy in the circumpolar north have focused attention on the very structures that people call home. Dwellings lie at the heart of many forms of negotiation. Based on years of in-depth research, this book presents and analyzes how the people of the circumpolar regions conceive, build, memorialize, and live in their dwellings. This book seeks to set a new standard for interdisciplinary work within the humanities and social sciences and includes anthropological work on vernacular architecture, environmental anthropology, household archaeology and demographics.

Hidden from view but ever-vigilant, Koth, the Keeper of the Hearth, is tasked with protecting the children of the house from the evil creatures that lurk within the chimney stack. Aided by his best friend, Rhyming Sid, a mischievous and agile Rath Dragon who communicates solely in rhyme, Koth works tirelessly to keep the home safe. On most days, the friends contentedly munch on bark and playfully chase the relatively harmless Monsoots and Mortar Mice that inhabit the chimney. However, when peculiar sounds emanate from the top of the chimney, Koth and Rhyming Sid make a startling discovery: a Skillius has taken up residence in the loft. Concerned for the well-being of the children and their own safety, Koth and Rhyming Sid set out on a perilous quest that will put their courage and wit to the test as they devise a plan to banish the malevolent Skillius from the house. But as they soon learn, even the best-laid plans can go awry, leading to explosive confrontations with their feathered adversary.
