{"product_id":"9781108071055","title":"The History of Greenland : Including an Account of the Mission Carried on by the United Brethren in that Country (Cambridge Library Collection - Polar Exploration)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1759, David Crantz (or Cranz) was sent to Greenland for a year by the Moravian Church. Writing in German, Crantz (1723–77) published in 1765 his detailed observations on the country, its people and their way of life, including a history of the Moravian mission there. This English translation appeared in two volumes in 1820, prepared by staff at the Fulneck School in West Yorkshire, where a Moravian community existed. The text is illustrated with several engravings that depict landscapes as well as kayaks, weapons and tools used by the Greenlanders, providing a valuable visual record of eighteenth-century life among the native population. Volume 1 is primarily concerned with the geography of Greenland, the local weather patterns, and flora and fauna, as well as the attitudes, traditions, social habits and hierarchies of the people of Greenland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52300880838967,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":297.99,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9781108071055-1.jpg?v=1783151575","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/ja\/products\/9781108071055","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
