With Shell all set to begin exploratory drilling off the coast of Alaska, now is the time to take a good look at this unique region and what we stand to lose if it’s destroyed.

In Arctic Voices; Resistance at the Tipping Point world-renowned photographer, writer, and activist Subhankar Banerjee brings together first-person narratives from more than thirty prominent activists, writers, and researchers who address issues of climate change, resource war, and human rights with stunning urgency and groundbreaking research.
