{"product_id":"9781588343796","title":"Maine to Greenland: Exploring the Maritime Far Northeast","description":"\u003ci\u003eMaine to Greenland\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to one of the world's great  geographic regions: the Maritime Far Northeast. For more than three  decades, William W. Fitzhugh and Wilfred E. Richard have explored the  Northeast’s Atlantic corridor and its fascinating history, habitat, and  culture. The authors’ powerful personal essays and Richard’s stunning  photography transport readers to this vibrant region, joining  Smithsonian archaeological expeditions and trekking in vast and amazing  terrain. Following Fitzhugh and Richard’s travels north—from Maine to  the Canadian Maritimes, Newfoundland and northern Quebec, then to  Labrador, Baffin and Ellesmere islands, and Greenland—we view incredible  landscapes, uncover human history, and meet luminous personalities  along the way. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Fully illustrated with 350 full-color photographs, \u003ci\u003eMaine to Greenland \u003c\/i\u003eis  the first in-depth treatment of the Northeast Atlantic corridor and  essential for armchair travelers, locals, tourists, or anyone who has  journeyed there. Today green technology, climate change, and the opening  of the Arctic Ocean have transformed the Maritime Far Northeast from an  icy frontier into a global resource zone and an increasingly integrated  international crossroads. In our rapidly converging world, we have much  to learn from the Maritime Far Northeast and how its variety of  cultures have adapted to rather than changed their environments during  the past ten thousand years. \u003ci\u003eMaine to Greenland\u003c\/i\u003e is not only a  complete account of the region’s unique culture and environment, but  also a timely reminder that amidst the very real consequences of climate  change, the inhabitants of the Maritime Far Northeast can show us  grounded and sustainable ways of living.","brand":"Smithsonian Institution Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134194598128,"sku":"9781588343796","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781588343796_p0.jpg?v=1763804365","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781588343796","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
