The Earth and her beings have been speaking. But we failed to listen. Arctic Voices compels us to listen. We will stay deaf at our peril. --Vandana Shiva, founder of Navdanya and author of Staying Alive: Women, Ecology and Development <br><br> A marvelous work, a marvelous land--hear the voices that call us to save these jewels of our planet. --James E. Hansen, director of NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and author of Storms of My Grandchildren: The Truth About the Coming Catastrophe and Our Last Chance to Save Humanity <br><br> One of the great strengths of Arctic Voices is that it shows how Alaska and the Arctic are tied to the places where most of us live. In this impassioned book, Banerjee shows a situation so serious that it has created a movement, where voices of resistance are gathering, are getting louder and louder. May his heartfelt efforts magnify them. --Ian Frazier, The New York Review
