About this product
Product Information
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 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.

Reviews
"... an extremely well written book, both scientifically and as a very readable book by many audiences. He has captured how, over twenty-five years of intense scientific research and assessments by the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program of the Arctic Council and others, our assessments of scientific understanding of a changing Arctic environmental landscape has achieved scientific credibility and has influenced substantively international agreements and treaties ... an engaging book and it is an important 'read' for a wide audience." Robert W. Corell, Florida International University, and University of the Arctic, "David Stone has done a remarkable job of summarizing the scientific information and the behind the scenes activities that has led to a global awareness of the sensitivity of the Arctic environment to the impacts of pollution and climate change. His use of the 'Arctic messenger' throughout the book - as an entity that communicates how the changes in the Arctic may be the harbinger of future changes of ecosystems elsewhere - is particularly effective."
