{"product_id":"ultima-thule-jean-malaurie-9780393051506","title":"Ultima Thule: Explorers and Natives in the Polar North","description":"\u003cem\u003eUltima Thule\u003c\/em\u003e is the terrible and yet fantastic story of European and American exploration in the polar north. Based on excerpts from the explorers' logs counterbalanced by Inuit testimony, it brings to life both sides of the clash that arose when white men arrived in the Far North, dreaming of conquest and believing that they brought with them a civilization superior to that of the indigenous peoples they found. Today, the outlook for the Inuit and the polar environment is bleak: the people and their landscape are in danger of disappearing for good. But according to Jean Malaurie, the situation is not altogether without hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heavily illustrated with period photographs, engravings, artifacts, and drawings, the book gives the readers the impression of having an entire museum of North Pole history in their hands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Malaurie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393051501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393051506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
