Spartan Mosquitoes
Author: Ernest Durwood Scullion
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1039138764
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
IMAGINE flying miles above the earth in a wooden airplane with no pressurization and little heat. At 30,000 feet, the outside air temperature is about–35 Fahrenheit. After a few hours, the cabin temperature drops to –20. Now imagine taking aerial photographs of Canada’s Arctic to map the land after World War II and living a life of isolation—in a tent on the permafrost—near the top of the world. Photographer Ernest Scullion experienced these harsh conditions first-hand when flying in the tail section of the Spartan Mosquito, an airplane used for fighting and photo reconnaissance. Spartan Mosquitos chronicles the events surrounding his time capturing the landscape from the plane’s tail section between 1956 and 1962, when the high Arctic had never been photographed. Most of it had never even been seen by humans. Radios and compasses did not work near the North Pole, so the airplanes flew without any way to get in touch with home base. Spartan Mosquitos is an intimate portrait of the adventures and hazards Scullion endured, from coping with exhaust fumes to full-blown fires, giving readers a window into his historic contribution to proving sovereignty of Canada’s Arctic.

Choosing Freedom
Author: Karen Stohr
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197537812
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
Could a long-dead German philosopher have anything useful to say about how you should live your life? In the case of Immanuel Kant, the answer is yes. Although Kant is best known for his abstract ethical writings, you might be surprised to learn that this philosophical giant had things to say about gossiping, doing favors, getting drunk, telling white lies, and being a good dinner party guest. This book will help you understand the essential framework of Kant's ethical theory, with its emphasis on rationality, freedom, and hopefulness. It will show you what it means to live in a Kantian way, and how valuable it can be to do so.
