Synopsis

"Building in the North" is a fully updated edition of the classic work by Eb Rice, a professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, who with a steady supply of wit, charm, and his own hands-on experience, helped to invent northern engineering. Easily readable and accessible to anyone with a healthy sense of humor and a willingness to live in the beautiful North, this guide is essential for those who dream of building that longed-for cabin in the woods - or simply find themselves learning to cope with permafrost in a frigid climate. Illustrated with Rice's own drawings and filled with invaluable folk knowledge, this contribution to science and human experience in the North will delight adventurers and natives alike.
