Bøger om Arktis

This book discusses issues of geoecological (GER) and geopolitical (GPR) risks due to hydrocarbon development of the Arctic. The authors explain the ethical and philosophical foundations of understanding environmental equity and justice in relation to the development of Arctic natural resources and consider various approaches to the moral aspects of making global management decisions in the field of environmental protection and environmental safety. Special attention is paid to analysis of modern geopolitical and geostrategic challenges to the development of the Arctic region. The monograph identifies the key geopolitical factors affecting the sustainable development of the Arctic and analyzes the similarities and differences in the geostrategic positions of the five Arctic states. The authors reveal the need to consider geopolitical challenges in the process of GER analysis for oil and gas development in the Arctic region. The book explores the intersection of the strategic interests for a number of states and describes Russia's inability to ensure environmental safety in the development of Arctic deposits. The book analyzes in detail each type of GER with an emphasis on their potential to lead to additional opportunities and threats, and assesses environmental rating as an indicator of the GER management process of Russian oil and gas companies operating in the Arctic. Although the main focus is on the Russian part of this region, many arguments and conclusions are quite applicable to the entire Arctic region. The consideration of geoecological and geopolitical aspects of the development of Arctic resources with the example of Russian oil and gas companies sheds light on the entire Arctic region, taking into account the interests of all other national and international companies involved in GER and GPR there.

Der Künstler interessiert sich für die baulichen Veränderung von Landschaft und die komplexen politischen, militärischen und wirtschaftlichen Implikationen von Architektur. Das führt ihn in entlegene, unwirtliche Weltgegenden, potemkinscheDörfer und an Orte, die nur für wenige Menschen erreichbar sind. Sailers Fotos sind menschenleer, die Gebäude darauf wirken oft wie Skulpturen. Ob Klimawandel, politische Konflikte oder ein übersteigertes Sicherheitsbedürfnis - Sailers Bilder offenbaren, welche Dynamiken zur Existenz dieser Orte führen.Das KUNST HAUS WIEN widmet Gregor Sailer seine erste große Ausstellung in Österreich. Der 1980 geborene Tiroler Fotokünstler wurde vielfach ausgezeichnet, seine Fotos wurden in zahlreichen Publikationen und Ausstellungen gezeigt und sind in öffentlichen und privaten Sammlungen vertreten.

Join one of the foremost polar explorers of our generation on transcontinental crossings of each polar cap as never before seen—and maybe never seen again.With his unrivaled photography taken during transcontinental crossings of each polar cap, Sebastian Copeland transports us to the ends of the earth and invites us into his expeditions. With his expedition partner, Copeland spent forty-three days crossing the Greenland ice sheet without outside support. In the process, he set a new world record for the longest distance traveled on kites and skis, covering 370 miles over one twenty-four-hour period. With the same partner, Copeland led the first east-to-west transcontinental crossing of Antarctica by skis and kites via two of its poles, setting three world records over the 2,500-mile, eighty-four-day expedition. These polar regions are also the bellwether of the impacts of climate change, and Copeland’s stunning images galvanize our awareness of the threats of global warming and the need for conservation.

The true, harrowing story of the ill-fated 1913 Canadian Arctic Expedition and the two men who came to define it.In the summer of 1913, the wooden-hulled brigantine Karluk departed Canada for the Arctic Ocean. At the helm was Captain Bob Bartlett, considered the world's greatest living ice navigator. The expedition's visionary leader was a flamboyant impresario named Vilhjalmur Stefansson hungry for fame.Just six weeks after the Karluk departed, giant ice floes closed in around her. As the ship became icebound, Stefansson disembarked with five companions and struck out on what he claimed was a 10-day caribou hunting trip. Most on board would never see him again.Twenty-two men and an Inuit woman with two small daughters now stood on a mile-square ice floe, their ship and their original leader gone. Under Bartlett's leadership they built make-shift shelters, surviving the freezing darkness of Polar night. Captain Bartlett now made a difficult and courageous decision. He would take one of the young Inuit hunters and attempt a 1000-mile journey to save the shipwrecked survivors. It was their only hope.Set against the backdrop of the Titanic disaster and World War I, filled with heroism, tragedy, and scientific discovery, Buddy Levy's Empire of Ice and Stone tells the story of two men and two distinctively different brands of leadership-one selfless, one self-serving-and how they would forever be bound by one of the most audacious and disastrous expeditions in polar history, considered the last great voyage of the Heroic Age of Discovery.

Diane Glancy once again puts Indigenous women at the center of American history in her account of a young Inupiat woman who survived a treacherous arctic expedition alone. In September 1921, a young Inupiat woman named Ada Blackjack traveled to Wrangel Island, 200 miles off the Arctic Coast of Siberia, as a cook and seamstress, along with four professional explorers. The expedition did not go as planned. When a rescue ship finally broke through the ice two years later, she was the only survivor. Diane Glancy discovered Blackjack's diary in the Dartmouth archives and created a new narrative based on the historical record and her vision of this woman's extraordinary life. She tells the story of a woman facing danger, loss, and unimaginable hardship, yet surviving against the odds where four "experts" could not. Beyond the expedition, the story examines Blackjack's childhood experiences at an Indian residential school, her struggles as a mother and wife, and the faith that enabled her to survive alone on a remote island in the Arctic Sea. Glancy's creative telling of this heroic tale is a high mark in her award-winning hybrid investigations of suffering, identity, and Native American history.

When zoology professor Cordi O'Callaghan reluctantly accepts an invitation to be a lecturer aboard the "Susanna Moodie," a vessel ferrying tourists through Canada's Arctic, she figures it will be a breeze. Seasickness aside, Cordi becomes entangled in the deaths of two of her fellow passengers, both members of a close-knit fiction-writing group. The fatalities are ruled accidental, but Cordi suspects theyre anything but. However, she lacks evidence and credibility, according to Martha Bathgate and Duncan McPherson, her sometimes reluctant sidekicks who try to keep her grounded. After Cordi returns to her home in the Ottawa Valley, she hits the trail and stirs up a hornets' nest of lies, intrigue, jealousy, and greed as she grills potential murderers, one of whom takes offence and stalks her. Getting marooned on pack ice, a harrowing trip in an airplane and a hot air balloon, and a mysterious fire all add to the menace that threatens Cordi as she attempts to nail down a killer.

Geografi har altid interesseret både børn og voksne, men i lang tid manglede Danmark en læsebog til skolebørn om netop dette emne. Det satte forfatter J.P. Espersen og skolelærer J.Gr. Pinholt sig i starten af 1900-tallet for at lave om på. "Den vide verden" består af fire bind om hele verdens geografi. Geografien har som videnskab udviklet sig langt siden bogens udgivelse, men netop dette gør det så interessant at se tilbage på verden, som den så ud, og som geograferne betragtede den i starten af det 20. århundrede. Bogen er rigt illustreret med billeder fra alverdens spændende egne.Fjerde bind af "Den vide verden" omhandler den del af Sønderjylland, som blev tabt i krigen i 1864, samt Færøerne og Grønland og indeholder desuden kapitler om astronomi."Den vide verden" er en genudgivelse af et tidligere værk udgivet med datidens sprogbrug.Jens Peder Espersen (1870-1916) var en dansk forfatter, der både udgav bøger under sit eget navn og under pseudonymet Alfred Lind. Han udgav blandt andet romaner og sangbøger samt den geografiske læsebog "Den vide verden" sammen med lærer og sognerådsformand Jens Gregersen Pinholt (1862-1949).

Rusland har for alvor bragt sig på konfrontationskurs med den vestlige verden, først med annekteringen af Krim i 2014 og dernæst med invasionen af Ukraine i februar 2022. Konsekvenserne fra krigen i Ukraine rammer Europa og det meste af verden, men i særdeleshed den ukrainske befolkning.I Putins Rusland tegnes der et billede af et land, der på mange måder er svækket. På trods af dette forsøger Rusland dog at genvinde sin rolle som global stormagt ved at føre en aggressiv udenrigspolitik over for sine nabostater.Forfatterne donerer alle deres indtægter fra bogsalget til Røde Kors’ arbejde for ukrainske flygtninge.
