But the main problem with this book is how quickly parts of it feel dated. Although published in 2010, the state of affairs in economics, geopolitics, and climate change are moving so rapidly that book occasionally feels much older. ( ) An excellent book covering many angles of the Arctic: history, politics, war, ecology, resource exploration. Most books on polar subjects concern the history of exploration; while aware of this, the book takes in the many other facets of its life now and projected into the future, both affecting the region and the wider world.

"[The author] leads readers ... through the landscape, history, literature and politics of the North, from the wrongheaded theories of the ancients to diplomatic intrigues on the Arctic's borderlands, the brutality of the Soviet gulag archipelago, and the region's emergence as a strategically important source of energy."--Jacket p.
