Arctic Dreams

Categories: Science & Math, Travel

Barry Lopez's National Book Award-winning account of the far North draws on years of travel in the Arctic with scientists, hunters and Inuit communities. He writes about the land, light and ice, and about animals such as the polar bear, narwhal and musk ox, alongside the history of European exploration. The book is also a meditation on how people come to understand and value a landscape.

• Tim Ferriss: “If you're new to his work, I would suggest reading Of Wolves and Men or Arctic Dreams first, as they are nonfiction at its best.”
