Recenzii

"Green and Desmarais, librarians at the Bruce Peel Special Collections Library at the U. of Alberta, Canada, provide a catalog to go with an exhibition held there from May to August 2008 that details 59 books and maps published from 1565 to 1983 by Arctic explorers such as James Cook, George Vancouver, John Franklin, William Edward Parry, George Back, Elisha Kent Kane, and William Gilkerson. The exhibition documents four centuries of exploration in search of a Northwest Passage around the coast of Baffin Island and through or south of the islands between Baffin and the Beaufort Sea to the Pacific." - Reference and Research Book News, October 2011
