Anderson, David G., Robert P. Wishart, and Virginia Vaté, eds. About the Hearth: Perspectives on the Home, Hearth and Household in the Circumpolar North. New York: Berghahn Books, 2013.
Due to changing climates and demographics, questions of policy in the circumpolar north have focused attention on the very structures that people call home. Dwellings lie at the heart of many forms of negotiation. Based on years of in-depth research, this book presents and analyzes how the people of the circumpolar regions conceive, build, memorialize, and live in their dwellings. This book seeks to set a new standard for interdisciplinary work within the humanities and social sciences and includes anthropological work on vernacular architecture, environmental anthropology, household archaeology and demographics.
