{"product_id":"arctic-journeys-miller-graf-9780820417455","title":"Arctic Journeys: A History of Exploration for the Northwest Passage","description":"This fascinating volume details two millenia of Arctic exploration driven by a hunger for commercial routes to the orient, colonization, exploitation of the natural resources of North America, and the pursuit of fame and glory. Included are the contributions of the Norse, Irish, Iberians, Germans, Danes, British, French and Americans. It describes the privations of the expeditions of Munk, DeLong, and Greely; the mystery of the Franklin expeditions; the 'race for the Pole'; and, the eventual completion of the Northwest Passage. It reflects the transition in the North from Viking 'longboat', through the age of sail, to the era of the submarine and airplane.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miller Graf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820417459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820417455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Miller Graf","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457733603583,"sku":"9780820417455","price":77.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96449936-7e8e-43fe-8fd8-ef280eaea5a0.jpg?v=1777400711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arctic-journeys-miller-graf-9780820417455","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
