nature,science,science and math,science and technology, The rate of climate change in the Arctic is now more than twice the global average. Arctic ecosystems are changing accordingly and may not be able to naturally adapt to the changes. From March 2007 to March 2009, roughly 50,000 people from more than 60 nations were involved in research to uncover some of the secrets of the Arctic and the Antarctic, with the International Polar Year 2007-2008 being the largest ever coordinated research program covering the Earth's polar regions. This unique book presents the current state of the Arctic and Antarctic poles, and it assesses the future changes to polar ecosystems and the geophysical processes which could affect the rest of the planet. ***"Specific chapters cover melting sea ice; ice-dependent ecosystems; ocean acidification; ice sheet dynamics and rising ocean levels; thawing permafrost, impacts of fallout from soot; effects of climate change on human life; and impacts on terrestrial ecosystems. The literary standard is excellent. Numerous superb color photographs depict topics ranging from landscape and seascape beauty to complex instrumentation. Data are presented through a multitude of colored maps, graphs, and three-dimensional diagrams, the execution of which is unsurpassable. Highly recommended." J.D. Ives, emeritus, Carleton University, Choice, February 2013, Vol. 50, No. 6.
