Bathsheba Demuth’s new book is now available: Floating Coast: An Environmental History of the Bering Strait (ISBN-13: 978-0393635164) 

“Floating Coast is rich, well researched and illuminating. It keeps under readers’ feet the vastness of Demuth’s expertise, as solid as a land bridge.” — The New York Times

Professor Demuth is an Assistant Professor of History & Environment and Society at Brown University. At the request of the RSW, she came to Bloomington in the fall of 2018 to introduce the film, Happy People: A Year in the Taiga (which was screened as a part of IU’s “Animal/Human” Themester activities), and to give a public lecture, “Producing the Ideological Reindeer: Capitalists and Communists on the Bering Strait Tundra, 1890-1980."
