An Introduction to the Geography of The Canadian Arctic

An Introduction to the Geography of The Canadian Arctic; Canada Department of Mines and Technical Surveys – Geography Branch; Canadian Geography Information Series No. 2; Ottawa, Canada, 1951. From the Preface – Although various aspects of the arctic geography of Canada have been presented before, this handbook attempts to bring all the facts together. It is thus designed to present a broad outline of the physical environment of the Canadian Arctic, man’s adaption to this environment, and the utilization of its resources. It describes the way of life of the native Eskimo and traces the routes by which the white man has penetrated northwards to explore and survey, to develop, and to administer this vast area. The book is well illustrated with maps, some fold-out, diagrams and photographs. This softcover book, 118 pages, is in very-good condition. The previous owner’s name is printed in pencil near the top of the cover.
