Oil, Globalization, And the War for the Arctic Refuge

Informationen zum Autor David M. Standlea is an independent scholar who received his Ph.D. in Political Science/Political Ecology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Klappentext "This book makes a major contribution to one of the great moral and political debates of our time! highlighting aspects that are not well known or appreciated in more general accounts available in the mass media. Especially significant is its treatment of both aboriginal rights and the role of churches in connecting those rights to more global concerns regarding the environment. In short! Standlea shows how the symbiotic relationship of the Gwich'in to their ecosystem is clearly a lens through which we can see and understand the physical! psychological! and spiritual stakes of our environmental crisis. I am certain that many will find this work challenging--that is good; it is time to be challenged."
