The Future History of the Arctic
- Synopsis
-
A treasure trove of natural resources and a main driver of global climate, the Earth's Arctic regions are increasingly important to the future of humanity. In this book, geopolitical specialist Emmerson examines the landscape, history, and politics of the arctic, looking at the actors who have shaped the region's past and identifying the forces that will shape the Arctic's future. That future is very much up for grabs, suggests the author, and depends greatly on whether the natural resources of the Arctic are preserved or developed. Emmerson's love of the Arctic infuses his prose, effectively keeping this book from being a dry accounting of facts and figures suitable only for policy wonks.
