The way of the hermit : my incredible 40 years living in the wilderness / by Smith, Ken(Hermit of Treig),author.; Millard, Will,author.;
Ken Smith has spent the past four decades in the Scottish Highlands. He lives alone, with no electricity or running water. His home is a log cabin nestled near Loch Treig, known as 'the lonely loch', where he lives off the land: he fishes for his supper, chops his own wood, and even brews his own tipple. He is, in the truest sense of the word, a hermit. For the first time, Ken shares the story of his life. From his working-class origins in Derbyshire, to the formative years he spent travelling in the Yukon and finally how he came to be the Hermit of Loch Treig. Looking back through decades of diary entries, Ken reflects upon the reasons he turned his back on society, the vulnerability of old age and the awe and wonder of a life lived in nature.

Self-portrait in the zone of silence / by Aridjis, Homero,author.; McWhirter, George,translator.; translation of:Aridjis, Homero.Autorretrato en la zona de silencio.English.;
"Self-Portrait in the Zone of Silence, by the renowned Mexican writer Homero Aridjis, is a brilliant collection of poems written in and for the new century. Aridjis seeks spiritual transformation through encounters with mythical animals, family ghosts, migrant workers, Mexico's oppressed, female saints, other writers (such as Jorge Luis Borges and Philip Lamantia), and naked angels in the metro. We find tributes to Goya and Heraclitus, denunciations of drug traffickers and political figureheads, and unforgettable imaginary landscapes. As Aridjis himself writes: "a poem is like a door / we've never passed through ... " And now past eighty, Aridjis reflects on the past and ponders the future. "Surrounded by light and the warbling of birds," he writes, "I live in a state of poetry, because for me, being and making poetry are the same.""--

Forever Terry : a legacy in letters / by Fox, Darrell,1963-compiler.;
"Terry Fox defined perseverance and hope for a generation of Canadians. Forever Terry reflects what Terry's legacy means to us now, and in the future. 2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope. Celebrities (both from Canada and beyond) regularly ask the Terry Fox Foundation what they can do to support Terry's cause and legacy. The answer: write a short piece telling readers what Terry Fox means to them. A memory. A moment of inspiration. A glimpse of hope to a patient. A jolt of strength. Or even a moment of sympathy. Forever Terry is a collection of 40 personal letters from 40 prominent celebrities displaying what Terry Fox means to them, and gives voice to an icon whose example spoke much louder than his words. The list of contributors includes Bobby Orr, Margaret Atwood, Catriona Le May Doan, Gordon Lightfoot, Douglas Coupland, and many more.".

Fevered star / by Roanhorse, Rebecca,author.;
"The great city of Tova is shattered. The sun is held within the smothering grip of the Crow God's eclipse, but a comet that marks the death of a ruler and heralds the rise of a new order is imminent. As sea captain Xiala is swept up in the chaos and currents of change, she finds an unexpected ally in the former Priest of Knives. For the Clan Matriarchs of Tova, tense alliances form as far-flung enemies gather and the war in the heavens is reflected upon the earth. And for Serapio and Naranpa, both now living avatars, the struggle for free will and personhood in the face of destiny rages. How will Serapio stay human when he is steeped in prophecy and surrounded by those who desire only his power? Is there a future for Naranpa in a transformed Tova without her total destruction?"--

The lying life of adults / by Ferrante, Elena,author.; Goldstein, Ann,1949-translator.; translation of:Ferrante, Elena.Vita bugiarda degli adulti.English.;
Giovanna's pretty face is changing, turning ugly, at least so her father thinks. Giovanna, he says, is looking more like her Aunt Vittoria every day. But can it be true? Is she really changing? Will she turn out like her despised Aunt Vittoria, a woman she hardly knows but whom her mother and father have spent their whole lives avoiding and deriding? There must be a mirror somewhere in which she can see herself as she truly is. Giovanna is searching for her true reflection in two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: the Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and the Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity. She moves between these two cities, disoriented by the fact that, whether high or low, neither city seems to offer answers or escape.

Don't try this at home : one family's (mis)adventures around the world / by Salamon, Daria,author.; Krause, Rob,1968-author.;
"In 2015, Rob Krause and Daria Salamon sold their car, rented out their Winnipeg home, and packed up their two young children to embark on a 12-month journey around the world. In this dual retelling of their ambitious year away from home, Don't Try This at Home chronicles the hilarious and sensational misadventures of a Canadian family as they travel across 15 different countries in the southern hemisphere. In an honest reflection on parenting, marriage, and living for a year on a tight budget, Krause and Salamon take readers through some of the world's most stunning vistas while meeting the challenges of foreign customs, broken-down buses, stomach bugs, personal loss, and their often less-than-enthusiastic children to discover that perhaps they should never have left home in the first place."-- Provided by publisher.
