520 2  "This accessible and engagingly written book describes how
       national and international scientific monitoring 
       programmes brought to light our present understanding of 
       Arctic environmental change, and how these research 
       results were successfully used to achieve international 
       legal actions to lessen some of the environmental impacts.
       David P. Stone was intimately involved in many of these 
       scientific and political activities. He tells a powerful 
       story, using the metaphor of the 'Arctic Messenger'--an 
       imaginary being warning us all of the folly of ignoring 
       Arctic environmental change. This book will be of great 
       interest to anyone concerned about the fate of the Arctic,
       including lifelong learners interested in the Arctic and 
       the natural environment generally; students studying 
       environmental science and policy; researchers of 
       circumpolar studies, indigenous peoples, national and 
       international environmental management, and environmental 
       law; and policymakers and industry professionals looking 
       to protect (or exploit) Arctic resources"--|cProvided by
