SUMMARY:Book Reading: Author Michael Engelhard
DESCRIPTION:Fairbanks Author Michael Engelhard has two books coming out about his adventures around the state of Alaska\, he will do a reading a Q&A about his many stories. \nARCTIC TRAVERSE: A THOUSAND-MILE SUMMER OF TREKKING THE BROOKS RANGE by Michael Engelhard \nTRAVELING BY FOOT AND BY RAFT\, anthropologist and award-winning author Michael Engelhard has crafted a lyrical portrait of Alaska’s northernmost mountain range rich with reflections on history\, culture\, conservation\, and the idea of home. Respect for the land and its inhabitants have shaped his exploration of this incomparable place. Follow him through tussock-studded tundra for a remarkable tale of bear encounters and white-knuckled river moments as he realizes a long-held dream in an untamed region. Drawing on the knowledge of scientists and Indigenous elders and on conversations with guided clients\, Engelhard shines a light on the spirit of Alaska. \nWHAT THE RIVER KNOWS: ESSAYS FROM THE HEART OF ALASKA by Michael Engelhard \nEdward Abbey\, who never much liked Alaska\, called it “our biggest\, buggiest\, boggiest state.” To others\, it has been a cure for\ndespair. When Michael Engelhard moved to Fairbanks more than three decades ago\, he was a cheechako\, a subarctic tenderfoot.\nGathering skills and experiences the hard way\, he attained “Sourdough” status while realizing there would always be more to learn\, see\, and do in the land of midnight sun and auroras. \nEn route\, Engelhard suffered frostbite\, stubborn yaks\, grizzly charges\, trophy hunters\, cold-water immersion\, heartbreak\, incontinent raptors\, one pesky squirrel\, and honeymooners from abroad. He tried to rescue a raven and explored Arctic dunes and a glacier’s blue heart\, and his own as he mingled with caribou on their epic journeys. \n  \nMichael Engelhard is the award-winning author of books that include Ice Bear\, a cultural history of an iconic animal; the collection of canyon essays No Walk in the Park; and Arctic Traverse\, his memoir of a thousand-mile solo trek from Canada’s Yukon border to the Bering Strait. Trained as an anthropologist\, he worked for twenty-five years as an outdoor educator and wilderness guide. \n

SUMMARY:Presenter: Scott Weidensaul
DESCRIPTION:Scott Weidensaul is the author of nearly 30 critically acclaimed books on natural history\, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist “Living on the Wind” and his latest\, the New York Times bestseller “A World on the Wing.” Scott is a contributing editor for Audubon and writes for a variety of other publications\, including BWD and Living Bird\, and is a Fellow of the American Ornithological Society. \nAn active field researcher and longtime bird bander focusing on bird migration\, he directs a major research project tracking the migration of saw-whet owls\, and is part of a continental effort to learn why more and more western hummingbirds are wintering in the East. He is a cofounder of Project SNOWstorm\, an ambitious effort to learn more about snowy owl migration. Scott is a frequent visitor to Alaska for more than 40 years\, where his work has taken him into almost every corner of the state\, including Denali\, where he helps direct Critical Connections\, a study of the park’s migrant birds. A native of Pennsylvania\, he and his wife Amy now live in New Hampshire. \nScott’s evening presentation will explore the wonders and dynamics of bird migration\, and a light-hearted look at his field research – a lifetime spent\, as he says\, “messing around with birds for fun and science.”
