Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

I was immediately drawn into the Arctic's history, thanks to Heikkilä's compelling narrative and Done's exceptional narration. Done's ability to switch between accents and tones brings the diverse cast of historical figures to life. The pacing is spot on, balancing detailed historical accounts with engaging storytelling. However, some of the scientific explanations could have been simplified for a broader audience. Despite this minor critique, Once We Had the Arctic is an immersive and thought-provoking listen that I'd highly recommend to anyone interested in history, culture, and the environment.
