Summary
What is it like to live surrounded by the harsh climate and stark landscapes of the Arctic tundra? While there is considerable scholarly literature on the Inuit in a particular place or touching on a specific issue such as religion or hunting, no recent scholarship has attempted to provide a broad description of this intriguing culture-until now.
