Our speaker is the legendary Adam Shoalts
Bio: Adam Shoalts is a professional adventurer, the Westaway Explorer-in-Residence at the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, and Outward Bound’s ambassador. His expeditions range from mapping rivers to archaeological projects, but Shoalts is best known for his long canoe solo journeys, including crossing alone nearly 4,000 km of Canada’s Arctic. Named one of the “greatest living explorers” by CBC and declared “Canada’s Indiana Jones” by the Toronto Star, Shoalts’s latest adventure was a 3,400 km solo journey from Lake Erie to the Arctic, the subject of his new national bestselling book Where the Falcon Flies. His other books include Alone Against the North, A History of Canada in 10 Maps, and Beyond the Trees: A Journey Alone Across Canada's Arctic, and The Whisper on the Night Wind, all of them national bestsellers. He has a PhD from McMaster University in history, and in his free time, enjoys long walks in the woods.
Adam's paperbacks will go for $20 and hardcovers $30 cash. Paperbacks for his older books (Beyond the Trees, The Whisper on the Night Wind, A History of Canada in 10 Maps, and Alone Against the North), and hardcover for his newest book (Where the Falcon Flies).
