520    The ecological and cultural researcher discusses 
       indigenous communities throughout the world and their 
       creative efforts to deal with climate change, arguing that
       biological and cultural diversity are key to resilience. 
520    "An enlightening global journey reveals the inextricable 
       links between Indigenous cultures and their lands--and how
       they can form the foundation for climate change resilience
       around the world. One cannot turn on the news today 
       without a report on an extreme weather event or the latest
       update on Antarctica. But while our politicians argue, the
       truth is that climate change is already here. Nobody knows
       this better than Indigenous peoples who, having developed 
       an intimate relationship with ecosystems over generations,
       have observed these changes for decades. For them, climate
       change is not an abstract concept or policy issue, but the
       reality of daily life. After two decades of working with 
       Indigenous communities, Gleb Raygorodetsky shows how these
       communities are actually islands of biological and 
       cultural diversity in the ever-rising sea of development 
       and urbanization. They are an "archipelago of hope" as we 
       enter the Anthropocene, for here lies humankind's best 
       chance to understand how to take care of the Earth. These 
       communities are implementing creative solutions to meet 
       these modern challenges. Solutions that are relevant to 
       the rest of us. We meet the Skolt Sami of Finland, the 
       Nenets and Altai of Russia, the Sapara of Ecuador, the 
       Karen of Myanmar, and the Tla-o-qui-aht of Canada. 
       Intimate portraits of these men and women, youth and 
       elders, emerge against the backdrop of their traditional 
       practices on land and water. Though there are brutal 
       realties--pollution, corruption, and forced assimilation--
       Raygorodetsky's prose resonates with the positive, the 
       adaptive, the spiritual--and hope."--Jacket.
