In this coming-of-middle-age memoir, Kim Heacox, writing in the tradition of Abbey, McPhee, and Thoreau, discovers an Alaska reborn from beneath a massive glacier, where flowers emerge from boulders, moose swim fjords, and bears cross crevasses with Homeric resolve. In such a place Heacox finds that people are reborn too, and their lives begin anew with incredible journeys, epiphanies, and successes. All in an America free of crass commercialism and overdevelopment.

Enligt NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the US), täcker haven 71 procent av jordklotets yta och innehåller 97 procent av jordklotets vatten.

Solen sken högt och starkt mot den klarblå himlen. Den verkade inte veta att det azurblå havet där under snart skulle tillintetgöra nästan allt i sin väg. Sumatra är en semesterregion. Oavsett om du kommer på högsommaren eller över jul möts du av vita stränder täckt i varm, välkomnande sand, små traditionella fiskebåtar och palmer som fläktar i brisen så långt ögat kan se.
