Publisher's Synopsis
The regions around the North and South Poles play an increasingly important role in many world issues. The ongoing process of climate change is literally remaking the lands and waters of the Arctic as well as the vast continent of Antarctica to the south. This series breaks down and explores the major issues relating to the present and future of these vital places that might prove to be the key to the future health of the entire planet. Each volume takes on a key area relating to one or both areas and explores it in depth.
