Bøger af Kate Troll

Part adventure, part memoir, part policy - always exciting, The Great Unconformity, takes you on a fun, fast paced tour of environmental, political and spiritual issues surrounding sustainability and climate change. Kate Troll, sometimes called "the Naomi Klein of Alaska", fills her colorful stories with humor, wisdom and hope for a brighter future. With an eye toward the millennial generation, Troll wraps her stories with the wisdom of recognized global thinkers. From climbing Denali in Alaska to running the Grand Canyon in winter, Troll's stories take you on an intriguing journey of discovery and inspiration. Sprinkled in between are her insights gained from more than twenty years in fish politics, coastal management and energy policy. Never far behind is the voice of an activist on the frontline of climate change, and her sense of wonder that comes from living among wilderness. Through Troll's examination of events we see clearly that mankind is an evolutionary force, the great disruptive unconformity. However, through her stories and insights we learn that creativity is also an evolutionary force, the great awareness unconformity. Which great unconformity will win out as the world races toward the two degree danger benchmark set by climate scientists around the world? Want to be inspired and guided on how to be part of the great awareness unconformity? Read the book as Troll is an important new voice to the now-or-never discussion on sustainability and climate change. Combining her vast Alaskan experience with her international and national work, Troll shows in her book that there is indeed hope - worldwide climate change can be tackled.

Kate Troll's frank personal memoir proves that Tolstoy was wrong - All happy families are not alike. The six talented, close-knit Troll siblings shared a loving, fun-filled childhood and remain best of pals as adults. Turns out, there is something (or I should say someone?) missing. And that is only half of it. All in Due Time is full of surprises and puzzles, but mostly it made me wish I were a long-lost Troll.- Heather Lende, Alaska State Writer Laureate and author of If You Lived Here, I'd Know Your Name¿¿¿¿¿¿An emotionally satisfying story with a charming cast of characters and a big-hearted perspective, All In Due Time is a fitting memoir for our era of genetic surprises. Unlike many memoirs on this topic, Troll conveys the sunnier side of digging into dark family secrets, weaving a tale of joy, inclusivity, and empathy. - Andromeda Romano-Lax, author of Annie and the Wolves, Plumb Rains, and Behave¿¿¿¿As an only child, as an adoptee, and as an Alaskan I loved this book. The writing was so good, I couldn't put it down. As a result of reading All In Due Time, I now have decided to learn about my biological father's family. - Diane Antaya, primary teacher, Juneau, AlaskaKate Troll is an author, op-ed columnist, wilderness adventurer, and speaker on conservation and climate issues.
