This was a book about a lot of interconnected things: the author's life experiences, Inuit culture and its relation to the Arctic, the human impact of climate change. It also does a really good job of getting across how much hard work goes into getting any kind of political change to happen. I did feel that parts of the book dragged a bit (the political sections wound up kind of bogged down in interpersonal drama sometimes, which is accurate but not very interesting to read), but I'm glad I read it.
