Between Sea and Glacier: Greenland in a Changing World

"The people of Greenland possess a robust spirit, born of the land, which speaks to me. At this time of the Age of Man, the Anthropocene, of human-induced climate change, I recognize that a tradition of respect for the land prevails in Greenland. With all the community dependent on the land, a spirit of cooperation has evolved through a melding of Inuit communal culture with Scandinavian social democracy. I write of Greenland, of its culture and people in possession of an existence, which is based on hunter-gatherer knowledge of the land." From the introduction.
