More recently, a competing vision paints the Arctic as the last pristine wilderness on earth, a place to be preserved for future generations. Arctic Visions confronts these conflicting and simplistic portraits, conceived in ignorance of the complexities of the circumpolar world and without appreciation of the viewpoints of those indigenous to the region. Drawing upon an international community of writers who are sensitive to human dimensions, Arctic Visions will explore political, strategic, economic, environmental, and cultural issues. The Arctic has always been a place of human and natural drama, an arena for imperial ambitions, economic exploitation, ecological disasters, and personal glory. As the region gains importance in international affairs, this series will help a growing audience of readers to develop new and more informed visions of the Arctic.
