Negative Positive
Title: time well spent
Review: I've read plenty of historical non-fiction. This was an excellent read, good adventure story and importantly, it held my attention better than the last six books I've read. I've been fascinated, although still largely puzzled by arctic adventures for years--put this one alongside all of the Shackelton and Franklin stuff as worth your time. The book had some interesting little tidbits about Elizabethan courtly life and of course the Inuit then and now. I had no idea the Canadian government i'ded them with a series of numbers and assigned surnames, sad. I guess ours isn't the only government to dehumanize and subjugate indigenous populations.
