"Distinguished scientist Mark Serreze provides an engaging history of how a true skeptic came to understand the human role in the changing Arctic, and how he contributed to that new knowledge." --Richard B. Alley, author of The Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Change, and Our Future "Climatologist Mark Serreze provides a front-row seat to the unprecedented changes in the Arctic over the past three decades and the science behind our emerging understanding of their causes and consequences. Brave New Arctic is a gripping firsthand account by a scientist who saw it happen." --Jane Lubchenco, Oregon State University, former administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration "No one knows ice better than Mark Serreze. In Brave New Arctic , he explains how climate change is transforming the polar North and why this matters to all of us." --Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History "An insightful and entertaining read. Serreze has a gift for writing eloquently and colorfully from the trenches of scientific research.

" --John E. Walsh, coauthor of Severe and Hazardous Weather "Serreze gives an engaging insider's view of the struggle to understand the causes of the observed changes in the Arctic, describing how he and the broader research community came to recognize that these profound changes are a result of human impacts on the climate." --Robert Max Holmes, Woods Hole Research Center "Serreze provides a wealth of important findings and perspectives from his decades of work in the high North and polar regions." --Robert W. Corell, Global Environment and Technology Foundation " Brave New Arctic is well written, engaging, and informative. In detailing his personal journey, Serreze gives readers a wonderful feel for the progress of Arctic science over the past few decades." --Claire L. Parkinson, polar researcher.
