Ultima Thule: Explorers and Natives in the Polar North

I am beyond thrilled with this book! It came a day early and it is huge and very heavy.The content is incredibly detailed, structured and very lively written. You will not be bored by “scientist writing”. This is amazing. AMAZING!!! I want to jump for joy! Considering the quality in the work I think the price is a steal.

This is a fantastic overview of the Arctic and Arctic exploration.

This is one of the most comprehensive summaries of Inuit life.....my copy arrived perfect......a must for any Polar Library....

This is a gorgeous book. I first encountered it in the library of the school in an Eskimo village in Alaska. I was delighted to find my own copy!

this book is exquisitely presented & an in depth analysis of the plight of the polar inuit society by jean maulaurie. very worth while, if you care about these forgotten, and marginalized people....otherwise, go aboutmaking more money and don't bother. thea, dedicated bookworm:) & polarenthusiast.

This is the ultimate book on Greenland with a sensitive approach to the inuit people. Both breathtaking and informative. Respect of nature, art and people. A masterpiece.

Massive hardback full of facsimilies of original letters. photographs and maps, a wonderful resource, brilliant research and chronologically organised for easy reference. Quality heavyweight paper. This is a wonderful book, not for the faint hearted either! Such a grim history in so many ways and shameful, which this book does not shy away from.
