About this title

Review

-(This book) does offer a great deal of value to researchers and policy makers working in this most important field- (Ken Coates, Vice-President Academic of the University of Northern British Columbia)
-Das Bemuhen der Herausgeber war offensichtlich darauf ausgerichtet, aus soziologischer Sicht ein Querprofil durch die aktuelle Problematik im arktisch / subarktischen Bereich des nordamerikanischen Kontinents zu legen. Dieses Anliegen ist beeindruckend gelungen.- (Alfred Pletsch, Zeitschrift fur Wirtschaftsgeographie)
