Floating Coast: An Environmental History of the Bering Strait

Focused on an Environmental History of the Bering Strait, Floating Coast brings Bathsheba Demuth's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of business & economics and history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
