Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Very few people have spent as much time as William E. Glassley in such deep wilderness. So it would behoove us to pay attention even if he had not brought back such a fascinating, lovely, and useful set of observations. This is a remarkable book." -Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature and Oil and Honey"Glassley exhibits an uncanny ability to put us in the midst of Greenland's vast silence, where he takes us deep into the planet's soul. It is an important and well-told adventure that opens us to life's grand expanse and begs us to follow in spite of the brevity of our existence." -John Francis, author of Planetwalker and The Ragged Edge of Silence"Reminds us of the degree to which climate change is damaging the planet. . . .
