{"product_id":"this-cold-heaven-gretel-ehrlich-9780679758525","title":"This Cold Heaven","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor the last decade, Gretel Ehrlich has been obsessed by an island, a terrain, a culture, and the treacherous beauty of a world that is defined by ice.  In This Cold Heaven she combines the story of her travels with history and cultural anthropology to reveal a Greenland that few of us could otherwise imagine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEhrlich unlocks the secrets of this severe land and those who live there; a hardy people who still travel by dogsled and kayak and prefer the mystical four months a year of endless darkness to the gentler summers without night.  She discovers the twenty-three words the Inuit have for ice, befriends a polar bear hunter, and comes to agree with the great Danish-Inuit explorer Knud Rasmussen that \"all true wisdom is only to be found far from the dwellings of man, in great solitudes.\"  This Cold Heaven is at once a thrilling adventure story and a meditation on the clarity of life at the extreme edge of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gretel Ehrlich","offers":[{"title":"As New","offer_id":48401693376755,"sku":"7770002934124","price":14.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9780679758525.jpg?v=1768849446","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/this-cold-heaven-gretel-ehrlich-9780679758525","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
