Overview

The volume examines complex intersections of environmental conditions, geopolitical tensions and local innovative reactions characterising 'the Arctic' in the early twenty-first century. What happens in the region (such as permafrost thaw or methane release) not only sweeps rapidly through local ecosystems but also has profound global implications. Bringing together a unique combination of authors who are local practitioners, indigenous scholars and international researchers, the book provides nuanced views of the social consequences of climate change and environmental risks across human and non-human realms.

This is a very important book in Arctic studies. While many Arctic anthropologists and social science researchers have contributed to recent scholarship on risk, climate change, post-humanism and epistemological and ontological theory, this book is unique. * Elizabeth Marino, Oregon State University I read this book with interest and applaud the editors and authors in the forward-thinking and important initiative that inspired the book and in delivering a manuscript with a lot of value for different potential audiences. The book covers crucial and timely themes and gives a fresh perspective in that it connects across scales and jumbles up the dominant narratives of climate risk. * Elana Wilson Rowe, Nord University
