Winner of the National Book AwardThis best-selling, groundbreaking exploration of the Far North is a classic of natural history, anthropology, and travel writing.The Arctic is a perilous place. Only a few species of wild animals can survive its harsh climate. In this modern classic, Barry Lopez explores the many-faceted wonders of the Far North: its strangely stunted forest, its mesmerizing aurora borealis, its frozen seas. Musk oxen, polar bears, narwhal, and other exotic beasts of the region come alive through Lopezs passionate and nuanced observations. And, as he examines the history and culture of the indigenous people, along with parallel narratives of intrepid, often underprepared and subsequently doomed polar explorers, Lopez drives to the heart of why the austere and formidable Arctic is also a constant source of breathtaking beauty, beguilement, and wonder. Written in prose as memorably pure as the land it describes, Arctic Dreams is a timeless mediation on the ability of the landscape to shape our dreams and to haunt our imaginations.

Australians will seize on just about any excuse for a celebration, and while you’re visiting this country it only makes sense to follow the light-hearted, self-indulgent lead of its inhabitants. The year gets off to a champagne-swilling start when fireworks explode high above Sydney Harbour on New Year’s Eve. The new year is also vigorously celebrated further south during the Hobart Summer Festival, when Taswegians stuff themselves with food, wine and song. In late January the streets of Tamworth in NSW are littered with broken guitar strings and broken hearts during its famous Country Music Festival, while Sydney vamps itself up in February when the Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras overwhelms Oxford St with rowdy, colourful glam. The exuberant Adelaide Festival of Arts and its eccentric sibling, Adelaide Fringe, fill the SA capital with culture and idiosyncratic performances in March every two years. And in April in Victoria, Melbourne repeatedly smacks its own funny bone with the outstanding International Comedy Festival. The outback Queensland town of Longreach droves itself crazy with dust-raising thrills during the three-day Outback Muster in May. Meanwhile, for sheer quirkiness and dedication to silliness, the NT’s long-running Beer Can Regatta in Darwin in July is an absolute must-see. Indigenous music is the highlight of Stompen Ground, held September/October in the WA town of Broome. Golden beaches, baked red deserts and glam­orous cities.
