Product Description

Review

"A fascinating and often troubling look at a resilient animal and its importance to far northern cultures and the increasing threats it faces." (Randy Midzain Winnipeg Free Press )

"… book of great visual beauty packed with information about a threatened ecosystem and its "star", the giant migrating caribou herds."

(Barbara Julian, Animal Literature )

"... a gorgeous, thoroughly researched and, more important, passionate book ..."

(Now Magazine )

Review

"Caribou and the North is an engaging introduction to these animals and how crucial they are to their environment ... Hummel and Ray will likely draw you into the story whether you would like to find out more about caribou, the cultures of northern aboriginals, or how anthropogenic climate change is stressing and will continue stressing both animals and the peoples of the North ... After finishing Caribou and the North you may well find yourself hoping that neither of them "goes" anywhere! For if either disappears, both will be gone ... and if both are gone, then so many other life-forms will not be far behind. - Justin Van Kleeck, Sustainablog.org

"a wonderful fountain of information ..." - The TerraMadre
