micromys 's review for:

Arctic Dreams by Barry Lopez

4.0

---

I returned to this book after having read the more recent Horizon. Although the two books cover some of the same ground, Horizon is the better book, perhaps because it has the feel of an older author. The initial chapters of Arctic Dreams are based around individual animals and were the most interesting for me. I found the cultural context that is central to many of the chapters equally fascinating, though the chapter on explorers strayed beyond my core interests.
