Product Information

Among the explorers made famous for revealing hitherto impenetrable cultures-T. E. Lawrence and Wilfred Thesiger in the Middle East, Richard Burton in Africa-Knud Rasmussen stands out not only for his physical bravery but also for the beauty of his writing. Part Danish, part Inuit, Rasmussen made a courageous three-year journey by dog sled from Greenland to Alaska to reveal the common origins of all circumpolar peoples. Lovers of Arctic adventure, exotic cultures, and timeless legend will relish this gripping tale by Stephen R. Bown, known as "Canada's Simon Winchester."

Reviews
Owen Sound Sun Times , 12/5/15 "Bown is one of [Canada's] favourite popular historians...This is an insightful biography filled with the stuff of the Arctic; dog sleds, Inuit hunters, compelling expeditions." Arctic Journal , Fall 2015 "Bown provides a masterfully condensed version of the formative years of Knud's life in a coherent sequence of events, each as important as the next...The author convincingly identifies the major forces that shaped Knud's future...Highly recommend[ed] for anyone interested in the transitional days of Arctic exploration, adventure, and Bown's keen insight into the life events that shaped Dr. Knud Rasmussen into the extraordinary person he became." Nature , 12/17/15 "[A] masterful biography." Manhattan Book Review , 12/5/15 "A riveting read about a polar hero." Midwest Book Review , December 2015 "[A] fascinating true-life story of a dedicated explorer who contributed enormously to human knowledge and understanding...Highly recommended, especially for public and college library biography collections."

Discover , December 2015 "Not as famous as Shackleton or Nansen, Inuit-Danish Rasmussen was arguably even more intrepid, traveling by dog sled from Greenland to Alaska in the 1920s. Bown captures both his charisma and soulful side in a biography full of wonder and peril." Shelf Awareness, 11/6/15 "Bown takes readers into the frozen landscape of Greenland...[An] informative and entertaining biography...Vivid and detailed...A well-rounded portrait of the explorer and his life." InfoDad blog, 11/5/15 "A book...for those who remain fascinated by the age of polar exploration, and those interested in the long history of the Eskimo/Inuit people and their means of surviving, even thriving, in some of the most unforgiving territory in the world.
