{"product_id":"people-of-the-ice-heather-smith-siska-9781771004480","title":"People of the Ice","description":"The Eskimo-or Inuit as they prefer to be called-are scattered throughout the vast northern regions of North America and Greenland. Theirs is a hostile land with a fierce Arctic climate, yet the Inuit have survived for centuries. More than any other native group, they depended on hunting and fishing for survival: food, heat and light, clothing, shelter, means of transport, tools and weapons-even drinking water, for in winter, animal fat had to be burned to melt snow. This book describes and illustrates how the Inuit built their igloos, kayaks and sledges; made their clothing and prepared their food; played games and carved beautiful objects from soapstone, and, of course, how they hunted and fished. Heather Smith Siska is a freelance writer who has published school textbooks and articles in children's magazines. Ian Bateson, a freelance artist, illustrated People of the Trail and People of the Longhouse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heather Smith Siska\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771004487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771004480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas and McIntyre (2013) Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.10d","brand":"Heather Smith Siska","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45933975896319,"sku":"9781771004480","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1943c47d-6f55-48ad-9c27-313828d4c3c1.jpg?v=1721790046","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/people-of-the-ice-heather-smith-siska-9781771004480","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
