The Routledge Handbook of the Polar Regions is an authoritative guide
to the Arctic and the Antarctic through an exploration of key areas of
research in the physical and natural sciences and the social sciences
and humanities. It presents 38 new and original contributions from
leading figures and voices in polar research, policy and practice, as
well as work from emerging scholars. This handbook aims to approach
and understand the Polar Regions as places that are at the forefront
of global conversations about some of the most pressing contemporary
issues and research questions of our age. The volume provides a
discussion of the similarities and differences between the two regions
to help deepen understanding and knowledge. Major themes and issues
are integrated in the comprehensive introduction chapter by the
editors, who are top researchers in their respective fields. The
contributions show how polar researchers engage with contemporary
debates and use interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches to
address new developments as well as map out exciting trajectories for
future work in the Arctic and the Antarctic. The handbook provides an
easy access to key items of scholarly literature and material
otherwise inaccessible or scattered throughout a variety of specialist
journals and books. A unique one-stop research resource for
researchers and policymakers with an interest in the Arctic and
Antarctic, it is also a comprehensive reference work for graduate and
advanced undergraduate students.
