Praise

“The book is a must for anyone who loves this part of the world or, for that matter, who cares about climate change, sustainability and the future of the planet.”
Chicago Tribune

“Richard’s magnificent photographs especially make it a handsome addition to the coffee table, a subtitle of which might have been, ‘Everything you wanted to know about the region, but didn’t know you wanted to know.’ … The Smithsonian has done its researchers proud with a book that is beautifully produced and designed. Anyone with any interest in the Maritime Far Northeast will find Maine to Greenland as rich a treasure trove as the lands it explores so attentively.”
– Portland Press Herald
