About this book
Reviews
From the book reviews:
“Antarctic Futures, based on a session held during the Oslo Science Conference (Norway) in 2010, focuses on the impact of human activities and regional environmental change in the polar regions … . Broad and thoughtful in its approach, this work is a noteworthy addition to the expanding canon of analyses of the human impact on and the future of Antarctica. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners.” (H. Doss, Choice, Vol. 51 (11), August, 2014)
“Antarctic futures is a timely assessment on good authority which mostly succeeds in integrating the natural and social sciences in order to examine existing and alternative environmental practices. … place Antarctic futures on the compulsory reading lists of all Antarctic scholars and their students – the future leaders in polar science and environmental management. This recommendation also extends to other actors and sectors.” (Frigga Kruse, Polar Record, July, 2014)
