The Geography of the Canadian North : Issues and Challenges

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
As arctic and Subarctic of the Canadian North take their place in the global economy, the interplay of resource development, the environment, and the peoples of the North has caused dramatic change. This book examines the dominant images of the North and traces the impact of resource
exploitation and mega-projects such as Quebec Hydro's massive James Bay development. It includes a discussion of the effects on people's lives--Native people, southern Canadians, and the growth of regional centres and resource towns. With detailed illustrations and problem-oriented discussion of the
Canadian North, this volume will provide a balanced look for those concerned with the human and environmental costs of development.
