Hello!
In 2010-12, I am a featured speaker for the Inquiring Mind program at Humanities Washington. I'll be talking on Robert Falcon Scott's Antarctic career, his reputation, and the the role of the hero in our culture. If you are in Washington State, click here to check out my program and those of more than two dozen other presenters.
My first book, EMPERORS OF THE ICE: A True Story Of Disaster and Survival in the Antarctic, 1910-13 won an Outstanding Science Trade Book Award from the National Science Teachers Association, and was awarded the 2009 Scandiuzzi Prize (the Washington State Book Award for Young Readers) - but is written to appeal to any reader between 12 and 112 with a love of death-defying adventure in cold places.
"An enthralling tale"
"Unforgettable"
EMPERORS is published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. ISBN: 978-0-374-31975-5. More information and reviews here.
I am also working on several other books.
