Review of 'Do Glaciers Listen? Local Knowledge, Colonial Encounters, and Social Imagination' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

important reading.  The author focuses on the glaciated and newly exposed land from Icy Bay across the Alsek and to Lynn Canal by comparing stories, journals, published articles, and accepted scholarship.  She wants us to hear the different stories, not assuming one version is better or more complete than another.
