    New publication released: "Vital Caspian Graphics: Challenges Beyond
    Caviar"



    Publisher: UNEP/GRID-Arendal

    Order on-line at Earthprint.com

    ISBN: 82-7701-039-7

    Data of Publication: April 2006

    For further information, please contact: [email protected]



    Vital Caspian Graphics: Challenges Beyond Caviar examines very complex,
    yet
    fascinating issues affecting the environment of the Caspian Sea and the
    surrounding areas. Illustrated with more than 50 maps and diagrams, it
    provides a well-researched, well-documented and up-to-date analysis of
    the
    geopolitical, economic, environmental, population and security
    conditions
    that have resulted to a blend of competition and reluctant collaboration
    among nation states, complex economic interests, as well as legal,
    political, and ideological struggle in the region. It also features a
    number of earlier published newspaper articles that are relevant to the
    issues addressed.



    We often associate the Caspian Sea with caviar that is legally or
    illegally
    finding its way to our tables, but overlook the footprints left by a
    number
    of industries installed on shores of the Caspian that are serving the
    world
    wealthiest market demands. The struggle for access to the vast resources
    of
    this unique and fragile ecosystem and the development of new
    transportation
    routes between Europe and Asia continue to shape the geopolitical and
    security conditions in and around the world's largest body of inland
    water.
    These and other developments pose complex challenges in the efforts of
    countries to improve the damaged ecosystems that the local communities
    are
    depending on.



    In view of the profound significance of the Caspian Sea region to global
    and
    regional environmental security, Vital Caspian Graphics will be an
    invaluable tool for individuals, academics, governments, and
    corporations.
