The book's aim is to inform readers about the impending, sometimes irreversible changes coming to the Arctic. University students, environmental engineers, policymakers and sociologists with an interest in the role of the Arctic in global change will benefit from the book's unique perspective.
As this remote, inhospitable part of the world that few people will ever visit provides amazing insights, we can no longer have an 'out of sight – out of mind’ approach to the environmental upheavals taking place in the Arctic.
- Provides the most up-to-date information on this rapidly changing, critical part of the world
- Offers a holistic understanding of the interconnections between global environmental changes and impacts in the Arctic
- Examines fact-based pressure on politics and industry to preserve Arctic biota and environments
