This accessible and engagingly written book describes how national
and international scientific monitoring programmes brought to light
our present understanding of Arctic environmental change, and how
these research results were successfully used to achieve
international legal actions to lessen some of the environmental
impacts. David P. Stone was intimately involved in many of these
scientific and political activities. He tells a powerful story,
using the metaphor of the 'Arctic Messenger' - an imaginary being
warning us all of the folly of ignoring Arctic environmental
change. This book will be of great interest to anyone concerned
about the fate of the Arctic, including lifelong learners
interested in the Arctic and the natural environment generally;
students studying environmental science and policy; researchers of
circumpolar studies, indigenous peoples, national and international
environmental management, and environmental law; and policymakers
and industry professionals looking to protect (or exploit) Arctic
resources.
