[Kathy Piselli · Rating 4 out of 5]

Remarkably clear and colorful photographs, best read to the sound of yoiking. Reading this kind of material, I'm amazed at the way humans have been able to survive harsh conditions in the past. Unfortunately this cleverness will probably vanish both as the earth warms and as modernity intrudes.

I love books that give glimpses into other cultures.
