View from the Deck: Arctic Adventures will capture the imagination of those interested in or curious about anything “Arctic”—Canada’s True North— which represents 40% of our land mass and is of growing interest, internationally. What was life like in the Arctic in 1959? View from the Deck is a personal account of the adventures of an 18-year-old on the CGS C.D. Howe—a hospital ship equipped to meet the medical needs of the Inuit (Eskimo) during an era defined by a high incidence of tuberculosis, the Cold War and a changing way of life— and those who sailed with her during the summer of 1959. Do Canadians see the North as a part of Canada, or a far-away place of mystery: the “land of the midnight sun, or those secret “tales that make your blood run cold...”? It is through books written by those who have visited, worked or explored in the North that unfold the enigma and spark curiosity of this nether region of Canada. And so, the mystery unfolds.
