Saskatchewan photographers and good friends Robin and Arlene Karpan are launching their latest book Sleeping with Rhinos – Journeys to Wild Places, featuring twelve of the world’s most spectacular wilderness areas; from Africa to Patagonia, from the Arctic to Antarctica, and even north Saskatchewan. The Karpans’ adventures range from white-out blizzards while living in an igloo in the Arctic, a flash flood in the Kalahari Desert, an attack by a bad-tempered moose, and waking up to five rhinos having a scuffle outside their small tent. Along the way, they find wild places relatively untouched by our rapidly changing world, and others teetering on the brink.
When: Monday, December 9, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
Where: McNally Robinson Booksellers (in the Travel Alcove), 3130 8th Street East in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Robin and Arlene Karpan have worked as freelance writers and photographers, contributing to more than 100 publications around the world. Their books include The Great Saskatchewan Bucket List and Saskatchewan’s Best Hikes & Nature Walks.
Everyone is invited to the book launch at McNally Robinson next week. Sample some of the goodies from the Prairie Ink restaurant and enjoy the stories and images from these extraordinary places.
