A complement to the film Le Grand Nord, this work is a wonderful tool for initiating the reader to the vast unknown area of the North. The content of the various chapters is handled knowledgeably and the many aspects of the arctic environment and its inhabitants are presented in dynamic fashion. An activity at the end of each chapter encourages readers to broaden their knowledge of the subject in question.

The final section of the book contains descriptions by the filmmakers of the production process — an exercise that can be extremely demanding.

Suggestions for additional resources such as websites, atlases and reference works are highly accessible. The many maps, illustrations and colour pictures enrich the book's content.
