Pen Hadow

Contributor

Pen is much in demand to contribute to books and websites, whether the subject matter is polar and/or environmental.

The following comprises just some of his recent work:

‘The Modern Explorers’ edited by Robin Hanbury-Tenison, Thames & Hudson 2011

Pen was invited to contribute a chapter about the role of the modern-day explorer, which he did using the story of his leadership of the pioneering international scientific work conducted by the Arctic Surveys.

‘Catlin Arctic Survey 2009′ by Rod Macrae, Blurb/Geo Mission 2010

In this souvenir hardback which recounts the origination, delivery and scientific findings of the inaugural Arctic Survey, Pen provides the Foreword.

‘The Long Haul’ by Alex Hibbert – 2009

In 2008, Alex Hibbert completed the longest fully unsupported polar journey in history. Pen wrote the foreword to this impressive account of events.

‘Who Will Save Us?’ by Rebecca Morch – 2007

This is the first book to introduce young children to the science behind, and consequences of, man-induced global warming – told through the adventures of Wise Old penguin and his young charges.  Pen was delighted to have been invited to write the foreword by the author.

‘The Mountain Express’ by John Fisher – 2007

A charming allegorical book for young children, which illustrates some of life’s most important lessons – the ones they don’t teach at school – about how to fulfil ambitions.  Pen’s foreword, addressed to the young readers, links his own experiences to the central message in this book.

‘The New Green Consumer Guide’ by Julia Hailes – 2007

One of the highest-profile and best-selling books of 2007; the original Green Consumer Guide (1988) co-written by Hailes was the classic of its genre.  Hailes’ updated version focuses on how individuals can change their daily lives to reduce their carbon footprint and their impact on the environment more generally. In it, Pen is featured as someone with a story to tell from first-hand experience about the impact that all our combined emissions has on the shrinkage and thinning of the North Pole ice cap.
