"Future Arctic is marvelous—as a long-time arctic researcher, I can honestly say it is the best book that I have seen dealing with the challenges facing the region. A masterful examination of the past, present, and future status of the Arctic, it is also very enjoyable reading, storytelling at its best."          - Vera Alexander Professor and Dean Emerita, University of Alaska Fairbank
