"""Mack was left alone in the remote wilderness, relying on his ingenuity and resourcefulness to survive. Many of the species he collected are now under threat from climate change. Essentially, Mack was an ecological historian."" - Mack Laing Historical Society ""Hughes does much to rescue from obscurity the life and times of Hamilton Mack Laing, the exploratory naturalist who breathed science into the epic first ascent of Canada's highest peak."" - Zac Robinson, chair, expeditions committee, Royal Canadian Geographical Society"

"""Badass(ish) is as brave as it is thought-provoking and heart achingly real."" -Carrie Firestone, author of Dress Coded and The First Rule of Climate Club ""Chock-full of humour and compassion, this is a novel about becoming oneself through confronting one's deepest fears and griefs, supported by the families we make for ourselves. Risking parental disapproval and social backlash, the central characters find the courage to stand up to the forces driving global warming."" - Laurie Adkin, Editor, First World Petro-Politics: The Political Ecology and Governance of Alberta ""By portraying the (often uncomfortable) complexity of fossil fuels in Alberta, and tempering the vitriol with teenage humour, this book offers young adult readers a model for both accepting and liking their perfectly imperfect selves."" - Kristine Kowalchuk, Environmental writer and founder of Edmonton River Valley Conservation Coalition"
