The Future History of the Arctic: How Climate, Resources and Geopolitics are Reshaping the North and Why it Matters to the World (Paperback)

As reviving as a blast of polar air, bringing the Arctic into wonderfully clear focus; one of the most impressive accounts of the contemporary Arctic I've read -- Joanna Kavenna * Spectator *
An excellent primer to the economic issues of a region so recently and rudely thrust into the geopolitical limelight -- Sara Wheeler * Financial Times *
It's rare to find books that treat [the Arctic] as something other than a chilly adventure playground or an excuse for reams of purple prose. Thank goodness, then, for Charles Emmerson... Ruthlessly efficient * Scotland on Sunday *
A fascinating, personal and visionary book. Splendid -- Professor Lord Nicholas Stern, author of A Blueprint for a Safter Planet
An expert on geopolitics, he writes with insight and authority * Independent on Sunday *
