Abstract
"This book is about the destruction of our arctic environment. It's about oil and gas companies and mining. It's about an uncertain federal government that has abetted industry instead of policing it.
James Woodford is not afraid to name names and attach blame. The solutions and alternatives he offers are certain to outrage government and big business. But no matter. A delicate ecological balance is at stake in the Arctic, and Canada will surely be the loser if action isn't taken against men who are motivated more by greed than need.
James Woodford suggests that, if the seventies is the age of ecology, it is in the Arctic that man will see if ecology comes of age. It may be man's last chance to come up with rational policies which allow necessary economic development without unnecessary ecological destruction."--Book jacket.
