The Arctic World

by Dr Jen Green

Published 1 July 2000
Step back in time and travel to the most northerly reaches of the Earth - the Arctic. Find out about the many different Arctic peoples, their origins, how they survived in a harsh environment and how their descendants live today. A variety of practical projects helps you to bring the past alive - build an igloo to keep out the chill north-westerly winds, make a traditional Saami hat and create a hunting blind. Each book in the "Step Into..." series is illustrated with colour photographs, historical maps and pictorial timelines and is designed to help children understand the peoples of early history.
