“ Bringing together Amazonia and Antarctica in a single multidisciplinary volume, this book provides valuable information on the significance as well as governance challenges that these regions present to Brazil. In so doing, it launches a valuable call not only for Brazil to assume a more active geo-ecological role, but also for the development of a more integrated geopolitical perspective on governing the Anthropocene, one that is destined to enrich scholarly and policy dialogues both within Brazil and internationally."
