'...provides an excellent collection of essays about the relationship between science and policy in the changing polar regions. It has a highly interdisciplinary approach and is produced in the twilight of the fourth International Polar Year.' Louwrens Hacquebord, Vice President, International Arctic Science Committee 2000-2008 and University of Groningen, The Netherlands 'As climate change and disputes over natural resources bring the Arctic and Antarctic into sharp focus, interest in these remote, fascinating, and strategic regions has intensified. This book is an all-in-one-place guide to key challenges in doing science and shaping policy from pole to pole, an indispensable resource for scholars and lay readers alike.' Ronald E. Doel, Florida State University, USA 'The Polar regions have become the epitome of global concerns for climate, security, and Arctic residents. In this timely collection the editors set out to redefine polar politics at a critical moment. They and their co-authors offer original and unexpected perspectives of relevance to scholars and practitioners across the social sciences and for anyone interested in current international affairs.' Sverker Sörlin, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
