The Snow Walker revives a haunting portrait of a land and its people--where the merciless power of the elements creates unique bonds between men and between men and their world--capturing the essential mystery of the Arctic and of Eskimo lore. All of these stories deal with survival, whether they are fact or fiction, whether they speak of the earliest life in the Arctic or the most contemporary. Each is a powerful piece of writing about people who are threatened with extinction by civilization, by the greed and cruelty of man, and by the rigors of nature. Mowat's stories describe not only the hardships of life in the Arctic and the almost invincible snow, wind, and cold; they also celebrate the beauty of the North and the human endurance and courage that withstand its most fearsome elements. Through its poignant narratives of a way of life that is no more, The Snow Walker is sure to be counted among Farley Mowat's foremost contributions as a writer.--From jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/farley-mowat-books\"\u003eFarley Mowat\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e History, North America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Little, Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780316586931\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £16.22","offer_id":47910047908017,"sku":"SB-0316586935-C3","price":16.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0316586935.jpg?v=1789280923"},{"product_id":"never-cry-wolf-amazing-true-story-of-life-among-arctic-wolves","title":"Never Cry Wolf : Amazing True Story of Life Among Arctic Wolves","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy enquiring into the puzzle of sibling relations, Frank J.

When an 80-ton fin whale became trapped in a nearby saltwater lagoon, Mowat here was the first chance to study at close range one of the most magnificent animals in creation. Some local villagers thought otherwise, blasting the whale with rifle fire and hacking open her back with a motorboat propeller. Mowat appealed desperately to the authorities, but it was too late-ravaged by an infection resulting from her massive wounds, the whale died. A plea for the end of commercial hunting of the whale, this moving account blends all the tension of the life-and-death struggle for one animal's survival with the drama of man's wanton destruction of life-bearing creatures and the environment itself. Author Farley Mowat is one of the world's foremost nature writers and conservationists. He is the author of 39 books, including Never Cry Wolf, Sea of Slaughter, and The Snow Walker. He and his wife, Claire Mowat, divide their time between Ontario and Nova Scotia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/farley-mowat-books\"\u003eFarley Mowat\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nature, Animals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780330258890\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pan","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £7.06","offer_id":47910086049969,"sku":"SB-0330258893-C4","price":7.06,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0330258893_7ee2f428-4c69-44c0-88c4-2c4d92ca0151.jpg?v=1794466579"},{"product_id":"owls-in-the-family","title":"Owls in the Family","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery child needs to have a pet.

The young second lieutenant soon earned the trust of the soldiers under his command, and was known to bend army rules to secure a stout drink, or find warm—if nonregulation—clothing. But when Mowat and his regiment engaged with elite German forces in the mountains of Sicily, the optimism of their early days as soldiers was replaced by despair. With a naturalist's eyes and ears, Mowat takes in the full dark depths of war; his moving account of military service, and the friends he left behind, is also a plea for peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/farley-mowat-books\"\u003eFarley Mowat\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biographies \u0026amp; Memoirs, Memoirs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unknown Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seal Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780770416324\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sell Books","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £12.61","offer_id":47982100381873,"sku":"SB-0770416322-C4","price":12.61,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0770416322.jpg?v=1790460137"}],"url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/collections\/farley-mowat-books.oembed","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
