| Adam Shoalts is a Canadian writer, columnist, lecturer, and wilderness adventurer. In the summer of 2004, Shoalts and his friend Wesley Crowe, embarked on an extraordinary journey deep into the Canadian wilderness. Setting off some 500 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, Ontario, they planned to canoe across more than 750 kilometres of harsh wilderness in order to reach the saltwater coast of James Bay. The book, Sense of Adventure: An Account of a Journey in the Canadian Wilderness, is the first detailed published account of this exceptionally remote river and Shoalts' first-hand narrative of the harrowing expedition. In it, Shoalts dramatically recounts the hardships, dangers, and joys of their adventure with detailed descriptions, insight, and plenty of self-deprecating humour. |

| While Sense of Adventure is primarily an adventure story that reads like a novel, Shoalts' deep concern for the protection of Canada's diminishing wilderness is evident throughout. |
