Description
“A cautionary, instructive tale highly recommended for readers with an interest in
environmental conservation.― - Library Journal (starred review)“A superb book, essential
reading for students of the once-and-future Arctic.― - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“This
book has unsettled me like no other Iâ€ve recently read…[Floating Coast] is brilliant.― -
Lucy Kogler, Literary Hub“Floating Coast is an extraordinary piece of history writing,
seamlessly weaving together disparate elements. It is astonishingly rich in ethnographic detail,
ecological precision, economic circumstance and historical texture. Most illuminating and original
is Demuthâ€s focus on the circulation of matter―in flesh, on hoof, inside fur and hide, and in
buried minerals.― - Sverker SÃrlin, Nature“A brilliant hybrid…Often reminiscent to me of
Barry Lopez's Arctic Dreams in its combination of rigorous research, intense looking and listening,
and its clear ethical vision.― - Robert Macfarlane, author of Underland“Floating Coast
is a historianâ€s Moby Dick, a great white whale of a book that spans centuries and links
landscapes, living beings, and the flux of time, into a marvelously readable narrative.― - Amitav
Ghosh, author of The Great Derangement“A poetic meditation on the devastations of
modernity in the sea, on terra firma, and, eventually, belowground. Whale hunters and reindeer
herders, greedy capitalists and utopian planners, hopeful prospectors and raw-material-hungry
government bureaucrats appear on the stage in this analytically powerful book, a monument to a
people and their land just as much as an allegory of the world we have created.― - Sven
Beckert, author of Empire of Cotton: A Global History“Brilliant, compelling, and beautifully
executed…Bathsheba Demuth writes with the poetry and wisdom of the land and the sea,
drawing the human-wrought past of a faraway place close to the lives and future of us all.― -
Jack E. Davis, author of The Gulf: The Making of an American Sea“In a time when human
desire bends so very much of what it encounters to its own image, Bathsheba Demuth's debut
encourages us to think about the very physical limits of such a proposition. Easily one of the most
innovative and poetic natural histories I have read in years.― - Elizabeth Rush, author of
Rising: Dispatches from the New American Shore“Bathsheba Demuthâ€s history flows
as richly and fluidly as Arctic waters. As she tracks the dynamics of the modernist ecological
makeover of the Bering Strait, Demuth is inventing a new form of historical narrative.― - Kate
Brown, author of Manual for Survival Read more Bathsheba Demuth is an environmental
