He had hacked his way through jungles, stared down bears and climbed mountains. But, one spot on the map called out to him irresistibly. Cutting through the forbidding landscape of the Hudson Bay Lowlands is a river no hunter, no explorer, has left any record of paddling. It was this river that Shoalts was obsessively determined to explore. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat Shoalts discovered as he paddled downriver appeared in no satellite imagery or map: a series of waterfalls that could easily have killed him. Just as astonishing was the media reaction when he got back to civilization. He was crowned \"Canada's Indiana Jones\" and was feted by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and congratulated by the governor general. Shoalts had proved that the world is bigger than we think. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGripping and often poetic, \u003ci\u003eAlone Against the North\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic adventure story of single-minded obsession, physical hardship, and the restless sense of wonder that every explorer has in common. Shoalts's story makes it clear that the world can become known only by setting out into the unfamiliar, where every step is different from the one before and something you may never have imagined lies around the next curve in the river.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Mass Market Paperbound\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books Canada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781037804243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416","brand":"Adam Shoalts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52604508569781,"sku":"9781037804243","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/beyond-the-trees-a-journey-alone-across-canadas-arctic-9781037804243","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
