In \u003cb\u003eThis Cold Heaven\u003c\/b\u003e she combines the story of her travels with history and cultural anthropology to reveal a Greenland that few of us could otherwise imagine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEhrlich unlocks the secrets of this severe land and those who live there; a hardy people who still travel by dogsled and kayak and prefer the mystical four months a year of endless darkness to the gentler summers without night. She discovers the twenty-three words the Inuit have for ice, befriends a polar bear hunter, and comes to agree with the great Danish-Inuit explorer Knud Rasmussen that “all true wisdom is only to be found far from the dwellings of man, in great solitudes.” \u003cb\u003eThis Cold Heaven\u003c\/b\u003e is at once a thrilling adventure story and a meditation on the clarity of life at the extreme edge of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019777687792,"sku":"9780679758525","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780679758525_p0.jpg?v=1763614093","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780679758525","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
