对气候变化在环境、经济和地缘政治方面正在改变北极的方式以及应如何应对这种转变的挑战进行专家研究。
越来越多的科学家估计，北极最早在2013年就不会有夏季冰层。我们正在接近“北极的尽头”吗？是像记者埃德·斯特鲁齐克在1992年问的那样，还是像北极问题专家奥兰·杨在1986年预测的那样，完全进入“北极时代”？北极末日，北极繁荣：北极气候变化的地缘政治着眼于世界顶部的不确定性，因为极地冰盖的缩小开辟了新的海上航道，北极海底丰富的碳氢化合物可用于商业开发，并给北极生物群和土著人民造成环境灾难。
北极末日，北极繁荣从历史和当代的角度探讨了北极的地缘政治，展示了地球变暖如何改变了我们对北极的概念。除了解决经济和环境问题外，该书还考虑了该地区在我国国防中的重要战略作用。
An expert examination of the way climate change is transforming the Arctic environmentally, economically, and geopolitically, and how the challenges of that transformation should be met.
A growing number of scientists estimate that there will be no summer ice in the Arctic by as soon as 2013. Are we approaching the "End of the Arctic?" as journalist Ed Struzik asked in 1992, or fully entering the "Age of the Arctic," as Arctic expert Oran Young predicted in 1986? Arctic Doom, Arctic Boom: The Geopolitics of Climate Change in the Arctic looks at the uncertainty at the top of the world as the shrinking of the polar ice cap opens up new sea lanes and the vast hydrocarbon riches of the Arctic seafloor to commercial development and creates environmental disasters for Arctic biota and indigenous peoples.
Arctic Doom, Arctic Boom explores the geopolitics of the Arctic from a historical as well as a contemporary perspective, showing how the warming of the Earth is transforming our very conception of the Arctic. In addition to addressing economic and environmental issues, the book also considers the vital strategic role of the region in our nation's defenses.
