arctic journeys and jaunts

This work, like all those by Millman, combines a keen eye and deft pen for describing the manifold wonders of the landscape at the top of the continent. What makes Millman's work so different and much more interesting than similar efforts by others in this vein, is his irreverant sense of humour and appreciation of the Absurd in much of what he sees and experiences. Simply put, this book is a joy to become immersed in. And it is for this reason that I am grateful that Millman agreed to write one of the front-end blurbs for my recently published book (by Green Frigate Books) entitled Deep Immersion: The Experience of Water.
