| adam_text | Cold and isolated, yet home to some
4
million
people; harsh and unyielding, yet disintegrating
with every passing year: the Arctic defies defin¬
ition. In the modern mind it represents the
quintessentially timeless
—
its landscape imagined
both as a realm of crystalline purity and as a
frozen kingdom of dread and death. A unique
ecosystem that hosts such beloved creatures as
the polar bear and the narwhal and serves as the
homeland for some of the world s most robust
peoples, the Arctic domain has fascinated and
unsettled outsiders throughout history. For all
its renown the Arctic remains far from perfectly
understood, and today it stands at the epicentre
or an unprecedented environmental crisis.
In A History of the Arctic, award-winning
polar historian John McCannon provides a far-
reaching overview of the region from the Stone
Age to the present, examining all or its major
aspects from a global perspective. Devoting
attention to every Arctic nation
—
from North
America and Greenland to Scandinavia and
Russia
—
this vividly drawn account weaves
together topics as diverse as polar exploration
and science, Arctic nation-building, the northern
environment and the role of indigenous peoples
in Arctic history. McCannon details the centuries-
long attempts to navigate and develop the
Northwest and Northeast passages, as well as
the conflicting claims to each waterway engen¬
dered by the rapid melting of Arctic ice today.
He also reviews the resources found in the Arctic
—
oil, natural gas, minerals, sea mammals and
fish
—
describing the importance these hold as
such reserves are depleted elsewhere, and the
challenges faced in extracting them.
With Arctic territorial claims and resource
extraction assuming ever-greater importance
in the twenty-first century, this book includes a
timely assessment of the current diplomatic and
environmental realities of the region, exposing
the increasingly dire risks it is likely to face
in the near future. A History of the Arctic is an
engagingly written, detail-rich and thoroughly
engrossing survey of this region at the top of
the world.
