February 16, 2018
The University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ Press has released "Entangled: People and Ecological Change
in ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ’s Kachemak Bay," by Marilyn Sigman; "In the Quiet Season and Other Stories," by
Martha Amore; and "Just Between Us," by David McElroy.
"Entangled: People and Ecological Change in ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ’s Kachemak Bay"
Naturalist Marilyn Sigman writes about her quest for wildness and home in ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ and
a nuanced, broader view of natural abundance and human acquisition of wealth as she
explores millennia of environmental and cultural change in ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ’s iconic Kachemak
Bay.
Sigman is currently the Marine Education Specialist for ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ Sea Grant and a faculty
member of the University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ Fairbanks College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences.
"In the Quiet Season and Other Stories"
Martha Amore’s "In the Quiet Season and Other Stories" explores the human landscape
of modern-day ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ. In Amore’s book, people learn to map a new territory of the
heart, after suffering through infidelity, losses or change.
Amore teaches writing at the University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ Anchorage. Her previous book, published
by the UA Press, is an anthology entitled "Building Fires in the Snow: A Collection
of ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ LGBTQ Short Fiction and Poetry."
"Just Between Us"
"Just Between Us" is a book of poetry about human connections as seen through language
and imagery focused on work and travel through vivid landscapes. A sense of longing
and the desire for intimacy among one another is a major theme of the book.
McElroy lives in Anchorage, ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ, and recently retired as a commercial pilot of
small planes in the Arctic that supported wildlife research, industry and wild fire
control.
