Robert Macfarlane\nISBN: 9781784878122\nFormat: Paperback\nPages:\n\nThe bewildering white-outs and mirages that stem from the peculiarities of light in the Arctic were attributed in Native American mythology to Raven, the trickster god; as a scientist Barry Lopez understood such phenomena to be a function of physics, but the reverence he retained for their ability to challenge our perception imbues this classic 1986 volume with a sense of awe that borders on spirituality. A blend of natural science, anthropology and philosophy, it is a keenly observed account of the polar landscape that strives to connect the cultural and the natural. \nABOUT US\nDELIVERY RETURNS\nPostscript is a long-established mail order company specialising in good quality publishers' overstocks and remainder books at discounts of up to 80% off the published price.
