The mediated Arctic : poetics and politics of contemporary circumpolar geographies
edited by Johannes Riquet
2024
ISBN: 9781526174017
"The mediated Arctic analyses the multiple relations between geography and cultural production that have long shaped--and are currently transforming--the circumpolar world. It explores how twenty-first-century cultural practitioners imagine and poeticise various elements of Arctic geography, and in doing so negotiate pressing environmental, (geo)political, and social concerns. From the plasmatic force of ice in Disney's Frozen films to the spatial vocabulary of circumpolar Indigenous hip hop, it addresses Arctic geographical imaginaries in a wide range of media, including literature, cinema, comic books, music videos, and cartographic art. The book brings together a plurality of voices from within and outside the circumpolar North, both in terms of the works analysed and in its own collaborative scholarly practice. The book bridges Indigenous and Southern mediations of the Arctic and combines different epistemologies to do justice to these imaginaries in their diversity"-- Provided by publisher.
Climate change in the Arctic : an Indian perspective
edited by Neloy Khare
2022
ISBN: 9781032207780
"The Arctic, the northernmost part of Earth, is the hotspot for climate change assessments and the sensitive barometer of global climate variability. This book includes scientific observations on the Arctic region climate and the results achieved by scientists at the Indian Arctic station Himadri over the last decade. Designed and structured to incorporate multi-dimensional climate change research, the book is a significant contribution to understand among other issues, the role of persistent organic pollutants and mercury, as well as the increase of carbon monoxide during ozone reduction in the Arctic. It is an important work for researchers, students, and all interested professionals"-- Provided by publisher.

A complex coast : a kayak journey from Vancouver Island to Alaska
David Norwell
2023
ISBN: 9781772034493
"A soul-searching personal account of a young man's 1,700-kilometre kayak journey from Victoria, BC, to Gustavas, Alaska, illustrated with whimsical watercolour maps and illustrations of local flora, fauna, and landscapes. In 2014, twenty-four-year-old geography student David Norwell set off on a daunting kayak journey in search of purpose in his life. A jigsaw puzzle of jagged mainland and over 50,000 islands--stretching from southern Vancouver Island to Alaska--lay in front of him. A self-described ordinary kid from small-to-medium-town, British Columbia, David had paddled through the Gulf Islands and guided youth groups on a nine-day journey from Nanaimo to Victoria. But nothing could prepare him for this. For the next several months, David navigated the waters off the coastal British Columbia, recording his observations, musings, and daily activities in a notebook. The result is this one-of-a-kind travelogue, filled with more than 700 whimsical watercolour illustrations of coastlines, local plant and animal species, camping supplies, and portraits of people he met along the way. He wrote about the nature of solitude, the search for meaning and adventure, the wildlife he encountered, the survival skills he acquired, and the existence of his own privilege. A Complex Coast is an unforgettable coming-of-age story that will appeal to kayakers, naturalists, and anyone looking for adventure."-- Provided by publisher.
