McGhee, Robert The Last Imaginary Place: A Human History Of The Arctic World
0195183681 / 9780195183689; Sea ice and midnight sun, flaming aurora and endless winter night - the arctic of traveler's tales and romantic novels is the unattainable dream of a vast and desolate world - the last imaginary place on Earth. In this fascinating book renowned archeologist Robert McGhee lifts the veil to reveal the true Arctic. Combining anthropology, history, and personal memoir, this book dispels romanticized notions of the Artic as a world apart, exotic and isolated, revealing a land more fascinating than we had imagined. We meet Viking farmers, whalers and ivory-hunters, and explorers racing to reach the North Pole. Most important, McGhee offers more coverage of the native peoples of the Arctic, societies that other histories usually neglect. The author follows the Inuit as they cross the Artic in search of metal, and reveals the dangers that native people face today from pollution and global warming. 296 pages with index and interesting reading; color and black&white photographs. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
