      Tracking Lions, Myth, and Wilderness in Samburu
    • Ve své knize Chladné oceány popisuje Turk několik svých výprav do oblastí za severním polárním kruhem, které absolvoval v kajaku, na člunu s vesly a se psím spřežením. Obeplujete s ním mys Horn, projedete Severozápadním průjezdem, kouknete se na Baffinův ostrov, uděláte si výlet do Grónska. Není to ale jen kniha o dobrodružství, je to současně kniha o kráse i drsnosti Severu.
