(2014) A world after climate change and culture-shift, Dordrecht, Springer.
The word unaami from the Alaskan Native Yup"ik language translates broadly to "tomorrow" and is commonly used with a connotation of change. There is no question that Arctic environments are changing, and not just the climate. There are a host of cultural, ecological, and economic factors that are also transitioning to unknown futures. Two powerful change-agents, climate change and culture-shift are a reality and challenge to the traditional communities in the high northern latitudes. This epilogue briefly explores how circumpolar Inuit communities are responding to this "double whammy."
