Bibliography of Books on Greenland, Focused on History, Climate Change and Art

In preparation for a grant funded by the American-Scandinavian Foundation to Greenland, I compiled a list of books focused on history, climate change and art. For my project, I created a series of night landscape photographs in Southern Greenland.
