English | 2010 | pages: 346 | ISBN: 0224082213, 0099516888 | EPUB | 3,1 mb
'This is more than a travel book about Sara Wheeler's extended visits to Chukotka and other Russian territories, Alaska, Artic Norway, Canada, Greenland, Svarlbard (Spitzbergen) and Lappland.
The Arctic of this book is not only a disintegrating home to native people's, nor just the source of 25 % of the world óil reserves and much of its mineral wealth, nor just a cauldron of scientific investigation into global climate change, nor just a massive ice shield with its own history of endeavour and of popular reporting of these endeavours, nor just a source of inspiration to writers, artists, filmmakers and naturalists. It is all of these framed in lucid, colourful, personal and yet unsentimental style.'
