Recenzje

''How can an iceberg be alive? By being perceived as an active partner by other living beings, be they autochthonous peoples from the Far North or scientists, explorers, writers, painters. Leafing through a variety of sensible experiences of these floating mountains, and reflecting poetically on their philosophical implications, Remaud draws a lesson: indifference to the death of glaciers reflects the incapacity of most Modern humans to think themselves as mere parts of a greater whole.''Philippe Descola, author of Beyond Nature and Culture"Invites you to look at the link between humans and nature in a completely new way"Sally Hayden, The Irish Times
