{"product_id":"the-history-of-greenland-david-crantz-9781108071055","title":"The History of Greenland: Including an Account of the Mission Carried on by the United Brethren in That Country","description":"In 1759, David Crantz (or Cranz) was sent to Greenland for a year by the Moravian Church. Writing in German, Crantz (1723-77) published in 1765 his detailed observations on the country, its people and their way of life, including a history of the Moravian mission there. This English translation appeared in two volumes in 1820, prepared by staff at the Fulneck School in West Yorkshire, where a Moravian community existed. The text is illustrated with several engravings that depict landscapes as well as kayaks, weapons and tools used by the Greenlanders, providing a valuable visual record of eighteenth-century life among the native population. Volume 1 is primarily concerned with the geography of Greenland, the local weather patterns, and flora and fauna, as well as the attitudes, traditions, social habits and hierarchies of the people of Greenland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Crantz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108071058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108071055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.87d","brand":"David Crantz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067080438015,"sku":"9781108071055","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f697d1a-28e5-42dd-8397-d93d0016a9d3.jpg?v=1685411074","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-history-of-greenland-david-crantz-9781108071055","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
