商品簡介
Lent, a biologist retired from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, offers an account of how the fate of the muskox has been intertwined with our own. He draws on paleontology, archaeology, anthropology, and Indian and Inuit lore, and integrates perspectives from conservation and management and contemporary arctic economics. He describes uses of muskoxen for aboriginal hunters from Alaska across Canada to Greenland and Eurasia, as well as for later explorers, and then examines commercial exploitation of the muskox for its fine underwool.
