Across Russia's easternmost shores and through the territories of
the Inupiat and Yupik in Alaska, Bathsheba Demuth reveals how, over
150 years, people turned ecological wealth in a remote region into
economic growth and state power. Beginning in the 1840s, capitalism
and then communism, with their ideas of progress, transformed the
area around the Bering Strait into a historical experiment in
remaking ecosystems. Rendered even more urgent in a warming
climate, Floating Coast is a profoundly resonant tale of the impact
that human needs and ambitions have brought (and will continue to
bring) to a finite planet. * Shortlisted for the The Pushkin House
Book Prize 2020.
