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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Arctic regions $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a Bering Strait $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Human ecology $z Arctic regions $x History. 650 0 $a Natural resources $z Arctic regions $x History. 650 0 $a Capitalism $x History. $z Arctic regions $x History. 650 0 $a Communism $x History. $z Arctic regions $x History. 651 6 $a Arctique $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)000275536 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 651 6 $a BeÌring, DeÌtroit de $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)000275536 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 6 $a Ressources naturelles $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $z Arctique $0 (CaQQLa)201-0420779 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Polar Regions. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Russia (pre- & post-Soviet Union) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a NATURE / Ecology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a NATURE / Natural Resources. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Capitalism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Communism, Post-Communism & Socialism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Environmental Science. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Capitalism $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846427 650 7 $a Ecology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901476 650 7 $a Human ecology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962941 650 7 $a Natural resources. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034403 651 7 $a Pacific Ocean $z Bering Strait. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01242467 651 7 $a Arctic Regions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240227 650 7 $a Geschichte $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4020517-4 650 7 $a Historische Umweltforschung $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4291560-0 650 7 $a HumanoÌkologie $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4026152-9 650 7 $a NatuÌrliche Ressourcen $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4075236-7 650 7 $a Umweltforschung $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4121810-3 651 7 $a Arktis $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4002924-4 651 7 $a BeringstraÃe $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4005712-4 650 7 $a Popular Science and Nature. $2 ukslc 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20240620153238.0 $n 6 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D333AA647FAD11EDA612AC93263FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
