THE NATURAL HISTORY OF AN ARCTIC OIL FIELD:

This book is an honest, compelling, and personal story of a man who knows and understands the Arctic and its people intimately. His knowledge of the land, the people, their history, language, and culture is all carefully docu-mented and enhanced by superb photography. The Hon-ourable Jake Ootes writes in the Foreword (p. vi): “This is a fascinating slice of firsthand experience of a unique time in the N.W.T., when the Inuit made the transition from living in traditional nomadic groups to life in permanent communities. Told from the viewpoint of a European missionary, this account is a welcome addition to other voices of this historical period.” Igloo Dwellers Were My Church ought to be in the library of anyone who has an interest in the Arctic and its people, whatever that person’s philosophy of life or belief system might be. The book would also be a welcome addition to any school library. A glossary of terms in the Inuinaktun dialect of Inuktitut and a comprehensive bibli-ography and index are a fitting conclusion to the book
