In Arctic Melting, top scientists describe the alarming impacts of glaciers receding half a mile per year, pack ice hundreds of miles farther from the Arctic coast, permafrost melting and villages crumbling into the rising seas. As author Chad Kister reveals, even one of Alaska's most notorious antienvironmental senators, Ted Stevens, has declared that global warming is having massive impacts.
Author of Arctic Quest: Odyssey Through a Threatened Wilderness, Chad Kister is a public speaker and environmental activist in southeast Ohio. Kister has been touring the U.S., speaking about the need to protect the Arctic Refuge.
