The book provides a clear and thorough overview of the potential problems caused by a warming climate on reindeer husbandry and how reindeer herders knowledge should be brought to action. In particular, the predicted impacts of global warming on winter climate and the resilience of the reindeer herding communities are thoroughly discussed.
