Any Arctic enthusiast needs to be flexible, patient, determined, and
and resilient in study.

The historians of science responsible for the contents of this fine
book have succeeded in explaining many things of the NORDIC WORLD IN
THE EXTREME as regards to geography and anthropology.

Collaboratively compiled and edited by Michael Bravo (Science and Development Research Group, Sott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge University) and Sverker Sorlin (Chair of Environmental History at Umea University, Sweden), Narrating The Arctic: A Cultural History Of Nordic Scientific Practices is an outstanding collection of seminal essays by erudite authors concerning the history of arctic exploration. From Inuit exploratory ventures, to conflicting claims of history, to the Danish arctic research of eighty years ago, to Swedish arctic travels of a hundred and fifty years ago, Narrating The Arctic is a vivid, intense examination and scholarly analysis of the historical quest to venture onto, and discover more about, the very top of the world.
