In "High Latitudes," Farley Mowat chronicles for the first time the
hazardous journey he took across northern Canada in 1966. He hoped
to write a book that would let northern people speak for themselves
and that would expose the speciousness of the political idea that

therefore resource developers could exploit it however they chose.
For reasons Mowat describes, that book did not get written then.
But here it is now, with the original conversations recorded by
