This comprehensive treatment of the environmental history of
northern North America offers a compelling account of the complex
encounters of people, technology, culture, and ecology that shaped
modern-day Canada and Alaska. From the arrival of the earliest
humans to the very latest scientific controversies, the
environmental history of Canada and Arctic North America is
dramatic, diverse, and crucial for the very survival of the human
race. Packed with key facts and analysis, this expert guide
explores the complex interplay between human societies and the
environment from the Aleutian Islands to the Grand Banks and from
the Great Lakes to the Arctic Islands How has the challenging
environment of America's most northerly regions—with some areas
still dominated by native peoples—helped shape politics and
trade? What have been the consequences of European contact with
this region and its indigenous inhabitants? How did natives and
newcomers cope with, and change this vast and forbidding territory?
Can a perspective on the past help us in grappling with the
conflict between oil exploration and wilderness preservation on the
North Slope of Alaska? Part of ABC-CLIO's Nature and Human
Societies series, this unique work charts the region's
environmental history from prehistory to modern times and is
essential reading for students and experts alike.
