In This Cold Heaven she combines the story of her travels with history and cultural anthropology to reveal a Greenland that few of us could otherwise imagine.Ehrlich unlocks the secrets of this severe land and those who live there; a hardy people who still travel by dogsled and kayak and prefer the mystical four months a year of endless darkness to the gentler summers without night. She discovers the twenty-three words the Inuit have for ice, befriends a polar bear hunter, and comes to agree with the great Danish-Inuit explorer Knud Rasmussen that “all true wisdom is only to be found far from the dwellings of man, in great solitudes.” This Cold Heaven is at once a thrilling adventure story and a meditation on the clarity of life at the extreme edge of the world.","brand":"Gretel Ehrlich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48695383097635,"sku":"9780679758525","price":18.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5437\/3411\/files\/9780679758525_p0_v2_s600x595.jpg?v=1718601216","url":"https:\/\/glenthebookhouse.com\/products\/this-cold-heaven-gretel-ehrlich","provider":"BOOKDP4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
