Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. An exploration on how environmental factors like climate change and sea-ice levels affect Arctic species and can even lead to "crashes" in their populations.This volume is the key outcome of the Arctic Crashes project, "Arctic People and Animal Crashes: Human, Climate and Habitat Agency in the Anthropocene." This project was implemented during 2014-2016 by a team of scholars at the Smithsonian Institution's Arctic Studies Center in collaboration with their colleagues and indigenous partners from the U.S., Canada, Denmark, Greenland, and the Netherlands, and was supported by the Smithsonian Grand Challenges Consortia grant. The Arctic Crashes team introduced a new vision to explore human-animal-climate interactions, including rapid animal declines ("crashes") in the North that-unlike earlier top-down models that tied changes in species' abundance and ranges to alternating warmer and cooler, or high ice/low sea-ice regimes across the polar zone-analyzed such relations primarily at regional and local scale. This approach is closer to the Arctic peoples' traditional view that animals, like people, live in "tribes" and they could "come and go" according to their relations with the local human societies. As Arctic climate changes and climate/sea-ice/ecotone boundaries shift, we increasingly observe diverse responses by people and animals to environmental stress. In some species we can also document the sustained effects of commercial overexploitation during the seventeenth to twentieth centuries, which varied across subpopulations. The emerging record may be best approached as a series of localized human-animal disequilibria ("crashes") interpreted from different angles by population biologists, Arctic indigenous people, and anthropologists, rather than top-down climate-induced collapses. This new understanding also highlights varying rates of change-in the physical, animal, and human domains. Besides six keystone polar game species (the Pacific and Atlantic walrus, harbor seal, harp seal, bowhead whale, and caribou) the volume examines the status of polar bear and narwhal in the Canadian Arctic, Pribilof Island fur seal, and Atlantic cod in Greenland, presenting a diversity of historical, archaeological, evolutionary, and cultural/spiritual perspectives on Arctic "crashes."

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This collection of 15 chronologically arranged papers is the first-ever definitive treatment of the intellectual historyof Eskimology-known today as Inuit studies-the field of anthropology preoccupied with the origins, history, and culture of the Inuit people. The authors trace the growth and change in scholarship on the Inuit (Eskimo) people from the 1850s to the 1980s via profiles of scientists who made major contributions to the field and via intellectual transitions (themes) that furthered such developments. It presents an engaging story of advancement in social research, including anthropology, archaeology, human geography, and linguistics, in the polar regions. Essays written by American, Canadian, Danish, French, and Russian contributors provide for particular trajectories of research and academic tradition in the Arctic for over 130 years.Most of the essays originated as papers presented at the 18th Inuit Studies Conference hosted by the Smithsonian Institution in October 2012. Yet the book is an organized and integrated narrative; its binding theme is the diffusion of knowledge across disciplinary and national boundaries.A critical element to the story is the changing status of the Inuit people within each of the Arctic nations and the developments in national ideologies of governance, identity, and treatment of indigenous populations. This multifaceted work will resonate with a broad audience of social scientists, students of science history, humanities, and minority studies, and readers of all stripes interested in the Arctic and its peoples.
