Review of The North Pole, by Kathan Brown

Abstract

At fi rst glance a medium brick sized book entitled The North Pole seems a promising read to anyone interested in the Arctic, such as this reviewer. Unfortunately it does not quite deliver according to expectations, presuming you expect solid information about the polar region. If, however, you are particularly interested in the personal experiences of Arctic tourists with a dash of environmental concern, this book may not be a complete waste of time.
