Only a few species of wild animals can survive its harsh climate. In this modern classic, Barry Lopez explores the many-faceted wonders of the Far North: its strangely stunted forest, its mesmerizing aurora borealis, its frozen seas. Musk oxen, polar bears, narwhal, and other exotic beasts of the region come alive through Lopez's passionate and nuanced observations. And, as he examines the history and culture of the indigenous people, along with parallel narratives of intrepid, often underprepared and subsequently doomed polar explorers, Lopez drives to the heart of why the austere and formidable Arctic is also a constant source of breathtaking beauty, beguilement, and wonder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written in prose as memorably pure as the land it describes, \u003ci\u003eArctic Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e is a timeless mediation on the ability of the landscape to shape our dreams and to haunt our imaginations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLook for Barry Lopez's new book, \u003ci\u003eHorizon\u003c\/i\u003e, available now.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barry Lopez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Books USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.18w x 1.05d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375727481\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Oregon Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarry Lopez is the author of three collections of essays, including \u003ci\u003eHorizon;\u003c\/i\u003e several story collections; \u003ci\u003eArctic Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e, for which he received the National Book Award; \u003ci\u003eOf Wolves and Men\u003c\/i\u003e, a National Book Award finalist; and \u003ci\u003eCrow and Weasel\u003c\/i\u003e, a novella-length fable.
