By Adam Shoaltz. Toronto: Penguin Random House, 2015.
One of the best books I've read in a while!
In the late 00s and early 2010s, young writer, outdoorsman and adventurer Adam Shoaltz sets out to explore two unexplored rivers in the Hudson Bay lowlands. He recounts aborted attempts to do so and his adventures during his failed and successful expeditions.
This is a good all-round book. From the descriptions of Shoaltz's surrounding environment and the information about nature, to the spellbinding and informative passages about other explorers past and present, to the immersive experience of the text itself, this is a book worth picking up for numerous kinds of people, whether outdoorsy or otherwise.
