| Publisher Description: Each generation of Canadians has "discovered" the Arctic and in a way, redefined itself in relation to it. Traditionally this re-discovery is accompanied by an expression of concern over sovereignty claim to the islands and waters of the north. The importance of sovereignty has once again become a major concern because of climate change and pressure to explore the Arctic by Russia, Denmark, Canada, and the United States and others for oil, gas and mineral resources. |
