A grieving young mother and recovering alcoholic, Andi Nowak flees high above Canada's Arctic Circle seeking peace and solace, but instead finds intrigue, danger and romance. Haunted by memories of her daughter, Andi ventures north to the remote town of Inuvik and a challenging career at Tuktu Aviation. The discovery of a rich kimberlite pipe near the small community creates a diamond-mining frenzy, and more flying for Tuktu. When Andi discovers that their Twin Otter aircraft are being used for unauthorized purposes, her queries to the flight crew are first nonchalantly, and later violently, dismissed. Andi enlists the aid of her new friend, local gallery owner and dog-sledding enthusiast, North Ruben. Together they plot a scheme to trace the aircraft's mysterious movements, but their plan backfires with devastating - and deadly - results. Fear and anger spark Andi's ravaged emotions, and although she resists, her friendship with North heats with passion she never thought possible....

There are some twenty-five words for “snow” in the Inupiaq language. Each word denotes a different kind of snow—fresh powder snow, hard pack, soft snow, very wet snow, or just snow. Such fine distinction is reasonable, for over the centuries, Natives of the Arctic have had to rely on their knowledge of the snow to survive. Now Matthew Sturm has prepared an educational children’s book designed to teach a new generation of Arctic residents the importance of Arctic snow cover. Fully illustrated to demonstrate the cycle of the snow cover, Apun covers each phase of the “snow year.” Geared towards grades 3–4, this is a must read for elementary science classes.

Archaeological digs have turned up sculptures in Inuit lands that are thousands of years old, but "Inuit art" as it is known today only dates back to the beginning of the 1900s. Early art was traditionally produced from soft materials such as whalebone, and tools and objects were also fashioned out of stone, bone, and ivory because these materials were readily available. The Inuit people are known not just for their sculpture but for their graphic art as well, the most prominent forms being lithographs and stonecuts. This work affords easy access to information to those interested in any type of Inuit art. There are annotated entries on over 3,761 articles, books, catalogues, government documents, and other publications.
