The Paleo-Eskimo Cultures of Greenland

Problems with the book are as follows: Some of the gray scale photographs and figures (Figures 1.2 and 8.8) are overly dark and have low contrast. Some figures are at such a small scale that they are difficult to read. The Arctic Ocean bathymetry is a contour plot with labeled isobaths, while the corresponding Antarctic bathymetry is a poorly reproduced image, with depths identified by shades of gray. On Figure The Arctic sea ice cycle is given twice, once in Figure Also, the analogous long-term Antarctic cycle, which remains constant, is discussed but not shown: thus, the author loses an opportunity to illustrate graphically this curious asymmetry between the hemispheres. In the bibliography, at least one reference (Untersteiner, 1987) is missing. Although annoying, these errors and omissions are minor compared with the overall scope of the book
