Inhaltsangabe
Rares sont les paysages qui montrent la Nature dans toute sa splendeur sauvage aussi bien que ceux de l’Arctique. Encore plus rares sont ceux qui imposent le respect autant que le pôle Nord éthéré et si peu visité. Et pourtant, tristement, ce trésor resté en grande partie inviolé et dont la plupart se font une idée fausse est désormais en danger. Dans ces pages, le noble dessein de Sebastian Copeland est de rendre hommage à ce pays des merveilles, mais aussi d’attirer l’attention sur sa détresse face au péril qui le menace. L’expérience aux multiples facettes de Copeland - pas seulement en tant qu’explorateur polaire et photographe récompensé, ainsi qu’auteur et journaliste reconnu, mais aussi comme militant écologiste - nous offre un point de vue unique sur cette région isolée. C’est assurément le dernier endroit véritablement sauvage de notre planète - et sa disparition devrait alerter les latitudes plus basses. L’autorité de Copeland sur ce sujet est inégalée, et son livre reflète réellement sa passion pour cette région du monde. Malgré la vision quasi poétique présentée dans ces pages, l’objectif du livre est pragmatique : séduire et inspirer le monde pour faire progresser la transformation du marché dans le sens d’un avenir durable.

Von der hinteren Coverseite
Few landscapes convey Nature in all of its untamed splendor like the Arctic. Fewer still conjure respect like the seldom traveled and ethereal North Pole. Yet, sadly, this largely pristine and mostly misconceived treasure is now in jeopardy. Sebastian Copeland's noble goal in these pages is to pay homage to this wonderland, and, in turn, draw awareness to its perilous plight. Copeland's multi-faceted background- not only as polar explorer and award-winning photographer, established author and journalist, but also as a dedicated environmental activist-offers us a unique vantage point from which to appreciate this lonely spot. Surely, this is the last true wilderness on the planet-and its demise should ring the alarm for the lower latitudes. Copeland's authority on the subject is unparalleled and, in this book, his passion for this place truly shines. Although the vision presented in these pages may be poetic, the book's aims are pragmatic-to seduce and inspire the world in order to help foster a market transformation towards a sustainable future.
