This is a study of the nature and role of science in the
exploration of the Canadian Arctic. It covers the century that
began with the British Royal Naval expeditions of 1818 and ended
with the Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913-18. Professor Levere
focuses on the imperialistic dimensions and nationalistic
aspirations that informed arctic science, and situates its rise in
the context of economic and military history of nineteenth- and
early twentieth-century Europe and North America. Accessibly
written and prodigiously researched, Science and the Canadian
Arctic is of interest to an audience of historians, environmental
scientists and anyone interested in the Arctic.
