A collection of academic papers with a focus on arctic archaeology and cultural adaptation to glacial environments. Since this is a field I am very interested in, it was nice to see a book published on the subject. The papers were fascinating and offered a nice overview of the different subfields within arctic archaeology while also featuring research focusing on a broad range of peoples, eras, and places. Overall, I found the book highly enjoyable, but I would recommend this only to the serious academic who might be drawn to reading these papers individually. There is not much content for a general audience.
