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.

This is a simply stunning work. It's a massive coffee table book full of the expected excellent photography, but also a good deal of text looking at Inuit society, customs, and culture with the constant backdrop of the harsh Arctic climate. A beautiful book with content.

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 about
making more money and don't bother. thea, dedicated bookworm:) & polar
enthusiast.

Thank you for sending this very large and heavy book my way. Recently I spent time in Norway with a man who takes expeditions to the North Pole and who visits Greenland frequently as part of his work and for his enjoyment. I could not imagine what the lure was but after looking through the expeditions, history, and people of this area I can see his fascination. I did not understand how many expeditions and adventures there are to be had in the area but now I understand. I mostly enjoyed the pictures. Thank you for getting the book to me.
