In \u003cb\u003eThis Cold Heaven\u003c\/b\u003e she combines the story of her travels with history and cultural anthropology to reveal a Greenland that few of us could otherwise imagine. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEhrlich 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.\" \u003cb\u003eThis Cold Heaven\u003c\/b\u003e is at once a thrilling adventure story and a meditation on the clarity of life at the extreme edge of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gretel Ehrlich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.7lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679758525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage Books Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45156189241481,"sku":"9780679758525","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_8eae2a05-d0e1-4b22-8baf-2ede44126b3d.jpg?v=1768295819","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/this-cold-heaven-seven-seasons-in-greenland-9780679758525","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
