If you want to see the northern lights, you need this book! Dave explains the stories of the Fire Fox, the midnight Dawn, and all the other folklore surrounding these mystical lights, then gives a full explanation of how they actually occur, before going on to explain how to get the best chances of finding them, and his experience of the techniques and nuances of shooting and post-processing them. Lady Aurora is high up on many a bucket-list, and there's a lot to be gained from being pre-armed with knowledge on the Northern Lights. There is a lot of information out there, but it's not contained in one place and it's heavily edited to suit a marketing purpose in most cases. Within these pages you'll learn everything you could possibly want to know about the Northern Lights as a traveller or as a photographer. The stories of the Aurora Polaris from all across the Arctic Circle come to life, and the scientific explanation of the light show is broken down and then applied to the methods we can use to find the Aurora for ourselves. Once we're there we'll learn exactly how to take photographs of the Aurora, and then how to process those images to make them look as good as they possibly can and really make our friends jealous. Seriously, it's all in this book, every little bit of it. This book is aimed at anyone who wants to see the Northern Lights in Iceland, Norway, Greenland, Alaska, Canada, Finland, Russia, Sweden, the Faroe Islands, or Svalbard, but the information within it applies to anyone with an interest in the Aurora, anywhere in the world, and it's just the right size to fit nicely into your camera bag or carry-on.

Electric green pierced by neon blue, shocking pink spinning into violent red, and shimmering purple sidled up against deep indigo: never before have you seen such high-octane colors in the sky, and never before has a book shown the northern lights-aurora borealis-in such vivid color. In Northern Lights, photographers Calvin Hall and Daryl Pederson bring to print nearly a hundred photographs of this amazing natural phenomenon, shot from remote locations all over Alaska and using no filters or digital enhancement. Just as fascinating are the legends, myths, and science surrounding this polar phenomenon, described by George Bryson. As 2002 marks the peak viewing time of the northern lights in an eleven-year cycle, this book brings the elusive magic of the northern lights to stargazers near and far.

"First appearing in 1941, Nelvana was tasked with protecting Canada's northern lands. Using the powers of the northern lights, Nelvana could fly at incredibly fast speeds, become invisible, and even turn to dry ice! She used her great powers to ward off Nazi invaders, shady fur traders, subterranean mammoth men, and interdimensional ether people. With the aid of her brother Tanero, a demigod cursed to appear as a Great Dane, and her sidekick Mountie Cpl. Keene, Nelvana was a steady force for good for six years before her adventures came to an end in 1947. Nelvana's complete adventures have been collected and reprinted in one single volume!" -- Back cover.
A stunning debut novel set in the late 1990s—“a powerful depiction of the currency of intolerance and addiction in one small town” (Kirkus Reviews)—about an androgynous youth who arrives in Minnesota, searching for the mother who abandoned him as a child. On a clear morning in the summer of 1997, Shane Stephenson arrives in Holm, Minnesota, with only a few changes of clothes, an old Nintendo, and a few dollars to his name. Reeling from the death of his father, Shane wants to find the mother who abandoned him as an adolescent—hoping to reconnect, but also to better understand himself. Against the backdrop of Minnesota’s rugged wilderness, and a town littered with shuttered shops, graffiti, and crumbling infrastructure, Holm feels wild and dangerous. Holm’s residents, too, are wary of outsiders, and Shane’s long blonde hair and androgynous looks draw attention from a violent and bigoted contingent in town, including the unhinged Sven Svenson. He is drawn in by a group of sympathetic friends in their teens and early twenties, all similarly lost: the reckless, charming J and his girlfriend Mary; Jenny, a brilliant and beautiful artist who dreams of escaping Holm; and the mysterious loner Russell, to whom Shane, against his better judgment, feels a strange attraction. As Sven’s threats of violence escalate, Shane is forced to choose between his search for his mother, the first true friendships he’s ever had, and a desire to leave both his past and present behind entirely. “A cross between two of the greats in those categories: The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, and Jesus’ Son by Denis Johnson” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis), Raymond Strom’s Northern Lights presents an unforgettable world and an experience often overlooked, with a new kind of hero to admire.
