Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Etah and Beyond; Or, Life Within Twelve Degrees of the Pole' is a compelling account of Arctic exploration and life in the extreme north. Written by the renowned explorer Donald Baxter MacMillan, this work chronicles his experiences during his expeditions to the high latitudes, specifically focusing on the settlement of Etah in North Greenland. MacMillan provides a detailed look at the challenges and wonders of living just twelve degrees from the North Pole, offering readers a rare glimpse into a world of perpetual ice, unique wildlife, and resilient human spirit.The narrative explores the daily realities of polar life, from the logistics of dog sledging and seasonal survival to the profound beauty of the Arctic landscape. Beyond the technical aspects of exploration, the work offers valuable ethnographic insights into the lives and customs of the Inughuit people, whom MacMillan deeply respected and lived alongside. This book serves as both a scientific record of early 20th-century polar research and a gripping travelogue that captures the allure of the unknown. 'Etah and Beyond; Or, Life Within Twelve Degrees of the Pole' remains a significant contribution to the literature of Arctic discovery, preserving the legacy of an era when the poles represented the final frontiers of human endurance and geographical knowledge.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good-. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, 1934. 305 pgs. Illustrated. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. In 1934 Donald B. MacMillan, an accomplished explorer, wrote about his early career as a member of Robert E. Peary's 1908-09 North Pole Expedition. Now available for the first time since its original publication, this expanded edition of How Peary Reached the Pole features a biography of MacMillan and thirty-six images from his hand-tinted lantern slides. MacMillan used the journal he kept during the expedition to provide an intimate view of day-to-day activities and relationships with other members of the party, detailing how he learned to drive dog teams, camp in sub-zero temperatures, and travel safely across the ice-covered Polar Sea. MacMillan's experiences and deep admiration for Peary's methods, leadership, and many accomplishments make for fascinating reading. How Peary Reached the Pole allows us to see Arctic landscapes and Inughuit culture as MacMillan experienced them, providing a perspective from which to consider the northern environmental and cultural issues that continue to concern individuals and nations today, one hundred years after Peary's historic expedition.
