BEYOND THE TREES

• A national bestseller that has sold over 20,000 copies in Canada alone, Beyond the Trees is a thrilling odyssey through an unforgiving landscape, from Canada's greatest living explorer

In the spring of 2017, Adam Shoalts set off on a journey alone across North America's greatest wilderness: the Arctic, a place where, even in our increasingly interconnected world, it's still possible to wander for months without crossing a single road or seeing another human being—Shoalts must travel alone up raging rivers; portage across fields of jagged rocks that stretch to the horizon; navigate swamps while tormented by clouds of blackflies; and race against the calendar before winter closes in

•As we scramble to turn back the clock on climate change that could devastate the Arctic, Beyond the Trees remind us of what we stand to lose: the crystalline arctic waters, the company of curious wolves, and the astonishing diversity of the arctic ecosystems, from ancient mountains to lush wetlands to the dunes of a northern desert
