After travel through Alaska during the Second World War, in 1947 I
went to Barrow with a very lively group of biologists. From their
productive research developed the Arctic Research Laboratory. While
we examined the rather surpris ingly modest metabolic rates of
arctic warmblooded animals in cold, PER SCHO LANDER proposed and
then carried out measurements of metabolism of some tropi cal
animals in Panama. The differences could be formulated to show the
basis of adaptation to arctic cold and to tropical warmth.
Imagination and logic were required to formulate the comparison so
that it could become a part of science, but the essential
measurements were derived from animals and plants in their own
arctic and tropical environments. Characteristics that adapt the
forms of life to climatic conditions of various environments appear
clear in the large dimensions of extremely differing climates. At
the time of my arrival in Alaska many of the arctic Eskimos were
still largely dependent on natural resources of their immediate and
local environment, in which great seasonal changes in temperature
and solar radiation appeared as dominant factors. The living
environment on which they subsisted was also mar kedly affected by
the changes of the seasons, in particular by the change in state of
water to ice that terminated summer and by the melting that brought
the late transition from winter to summer."
We all need a creative space: a blank canvas where we can doodle
our masterpieces; a white page where we can jot down our innermost
thoughts; a secret place where we can unleash our wildest
imaginings and let them roam free for a while. And what could be
finer than finding that creative space populated by flights of
fancy that help stir those very doodles, scribbles and imaginings?
The Creative Space Journal is a journal through 100 art projects,
offering prompts and projects, sparks and nudges, ideas and
inspirations for activities to reflect, enhance or change your
mood. Its pages present beautifully illustrated exercises designed
to add some art and mischief to your world, and to make your life
more imaginative and inventive. They are surrounded by frames and
spaces, lines and bullets, where you can record your adventures.
The journal provides a safe place where you can retreat and allow
your creativity to flourish. Organised to reflect your head space -
Happy, Sad, Angry, Relaxed, Playful, Bored, Wired or Sleepy - it's
the perfect companion to dip in and out of, explore by mood or fill
with your creativity from cover to cover. Travel into your creative
space, and create a journal that is uniquely yours.
