Review # 1 was written on 2011-11-26 00:00:00 Steve Jorgensen Unique study, I believe, of the treatment of Canada's north and northern peoples--especially the Inuit--in Canadian Literature. Oddly enough, I mainly remember (I read the book about a year ago) the discussion concerning popular and literary novels, rather than the ethnographic material, except some explorer's comments. Maybe I should re-read this book... Still, Very informative and not too difficult for someone of my limited parts to understand. Also kept me reading.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-30 00:00:00 Michael Erwin It is amazing to read the reflections of someone who was present for so much American history, and Scotty Reston was one of those people. These are his memoirs from a life of reporting, mostly for the New York Times. It is not an easy read, but what resonates is how in the early 1990's (and before) he was writing about issues in America that still are present today. This is a well written, interesting look at American history, and his connections with many leading figures in the world provide excellent personal stories.
