Frostlines: A Journey Through Entangled Lives and Landscapes in a Warming Arctic:
"Listened to the abridged version on BBC Sounds and I have to say this book is definitely worth a read. It’s so sad to see a massive ecosystem become lost and destroyed before our very eyes because of man made climate change and also nations wanting t"

“While he could not directly challenge Fahim, Haroun had one advantage: he had direct experience with how groupthink could rapidly destroy prosperity of a country. And with his knowledge and invitations to be a guest speaker, he would do everything he could to educate others about the dangers of groupthink to prevent others from suffering like he did.”

“A-aang tsk-qatsk no’o’em,” it said, pointing at the CRT display more urgently.
I thought hard. My training when studying to become a logistics manager had prepared me for a moment like this. Then, it occurred to me that the alien wanted a computer.”

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
