Along the Bering Strait, through the territories of the Inupiat and Yupik in Alaska, and the Yupik and Chukchi in Russia, Bathsheba Demuth explores an ecosystem that has long sustained human beings. Yet when Americans and Europeans arrived with self-serving ideas of human progress, the Chukchi and Seward Peninsulas and surrounding waters became the site of an historical experiment. Here, the great modern ideologies of production and consumption, capitalism and communism, were subject to the pressures of arctic scarcity. Whales and walruses, caribou and fox, gold and oil: through these resources Demuth draws a vivid portrait of the sweeping effects of turning ecological wealth into economic growth and state power over the past century and a half. More urgent in a warming climate, and as we seek new economic ideas for a postindustrial age, Floating Coast delivers necessary warnings and poses provocative questions about human desires and needs in relation to environmental sustainability"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 508.3113 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 508.3113 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 508.3113 DEMUTH Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 508.3113 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 508.3113 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 508.3113 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList
