"This superb work is the product of several lifetimes of research, distilled for future students and for the descendants of the Inuit singers." -- Reference & Research Book News, May 2010 "These volumes are marvellously researched, and Hauser's passion and excitement for the Inughuit people, their culture, and their music are evident with every word. He speaks in the first person and shares stories and experiences of his relationship with the musicians behind his recordings. ... In many cases, he includes a photograph of the musician along with a biography -- a case in point of Hauser's genuine devotion to his subject. This book is an excellent reference for anyone studying ethnomusicology particularly of Canadian Inuit communities. It is an intense look at the musical form of Inughuit music and in that respect is primarily targeted toward ethnomusicologists. However, it also has a lot of relevant information for linguists and anthropologists in terms of the historical, scientific, and cultural data. Hauser's inside perspective on Inuit culture, the photographic images he includes, and the CD of his and Holtved's recordings make these volumes a fascinating study for both the average Arctic enthusiast and the serious scholar of Arctic culture." -- Kate Schutz, ARCTIC, September 2010
