Idditional Reading 
The Science — and Art — 
of Keeping Warm 
Historical Perspective 
Some books dealing with the relation- 
ship of climate to design are: R. Ban- 
ham’s The Architecture of the Well- 
tempered Environment (Chicago: 
University of Chicago Press, 1969); 
J. M. Fitch’s American Building (Bos- 
ton: Houghton Mifflin, 1972); B. 
Givoni’s Man, Climate and Architec- 
ture (Amsterdam: Elsevier, 1969); and 
V. Olgyay’s Design with Climate 
(Princeton: Princeton University Press, 
1963). W. Hough’s Fire as an Agent in 
Human Culture (Washington, D.C.: 
Smithsonian Institution, Bulletin No. 
1 39, 1 926) is a fundamental work on the 
making, conservation, and application 
of fire in nonindustrialized populations. 
K. R Oakley wrote several important 
articles on the prehistory of fire, includ- 
ing “Possible Origins of the Use of Fire” 
{Man, 1961, p. 207) and “Fire as a 
Palaeolithic Tool and Weapon” {Pro- 
ceedings of the Prehistory Society , vol. 
21, pp. 36-47). 
People 
In his sensitively written Japanese 
Homes and Their Surroundings (New 
York: Dover Books, 1961), E.S. Morse 
describes the structural and cultural as- 
pects of the Japanese home at a time 
when Japan had experienced little 
Westernization. See also T. Yoshida’s 
The Japanese House and Garden (New 
York: Praeger, 1955) and B. Rudofsky’s 
The Kimono Mind (Garden City: Dou- 
bleday, 1965). S. Shonagon served as a 
lady-in-waiting at the royal court during 
the last decade of the tenth century. Her 
vast collection of notes detailing her life 
during this time forms The Pillow Book 
of Sei Shonagon, translated and edited 
by I. Morris (New York: Columbia Uni- 
versity Press, 1 967, two volumes), a rich 
source of information about traditional 
Japanese upper-class life. The earliest 
accounts of the Eskimos, their houses, 
clothing, tools, and weapons are by G. 
Best and D. Settle. Works by these 
authors are reprinted in V. Stefansson’s 
two-volume The Three Voyages of 
Marlin Frobisher (London: Argonaut 
Press, 1938). Stefansson wrote in great 
detail about the Eskimos’ adaptation to 
cold, most notably in The Friendly Arc- 
tic (New York: Macmillan, 1921), My 
Life With the Eskimo (New York: Mac- 
millan, 1913, reprinted in paperback by 
Collier Books, New York, in 1962), and 
The Fat of the Land (New York: Mac- 
millan, 1956). The Central Eskimo, by 
F. Boas, published in 1888 and reprinted 
in paperback by the University of Ne- 
braska Press, Lincoln, in 1 964, is a clas- 
sic and comprehensive account of Es- 
kimo life during the 1880s. A more 
modern account of one of the most iso- 
lated Eskimo groups, containing precise 
information about Eskimo technology, 
is A. Balikci’s The Netsilik Eskimo 
(Garden City: Natural History Press, 
1970). A recent, excellent summary of 
Eskimo prehistory, dealing also with Es- 
kimo prehistory in Alaska and Green- 
land, although only briefly, is R. 
McGhee’s Canadian Arctic Prehistory 
(Ottawa: National Museum of Man, 
1978). Cold, its effects upon humans, 
and how humans have tried to cope with 
it are the subjects of L. Kevaler’s very 
readable Freezing Point (New York: 
John Day Co., 1970). Similarly special- 
ized is R. Kirk’s Snow, an easy to read, 
well-researched book with an excellent 
and extensive bibliography that deals in 
detail with the Eskimos’ use and knowl- 
edge of snow as an insulating material. 
For a scholarly treatment of the Eski- 
mos’ physiological and cultural adapta- 
tions to the rigors of their homeland, see
