Abstract

"Canadians like to talk and dream about their northland, but few of them understand it. Jim Lotz does. In this pioneering book, he lays bare the human and physical realities behind the visions (so dear to politicians) of northern pipelines, domed cities and fabulous mineral wealth. At the same time he puts forward an exciting new ethic of northern development, based on the well-being of those who live in the region and not merely on corporate profits."--Back cover.
