DOWNLOAD EBOOKElectric 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJust over one hundred years ago Kristian Birkeland looked into the night sky of his native Norway and saw in the beautiful Northern Lights a mystery waiting to be solved. Determined to prove to the world his bold theory about the heavens above, this misunderstood genius began a quest that would take him from Norway's ice mountains to the deserts of Africa, and across a continent ravaged by war. It was a quest that alienated friends and family, ruined his health and sanity, and ended in his mysterious death in a Japanese hotel in 1917. Lucy Jago brilliantly tells the fascinating and tragic story of Kristian Birkeland, the man who saw in the night sky a secret that no one else could see, but who died trying to convince the world of his vision.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIf 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.
