Book ID/图书代码： 12760018C00005
English Summary/英文概要： As global warming continues to melt the ice in the Northwest Passage and the competition for northern resources heats up, Canada, the authors warn, will be forced to defend this area from a position of grave weakness. Our leaders need to take action today, blending defense and development, to complete Canadian nation-building in this fragile region.
An energetic and engaging collaboration by four of Canada’s leading Northern specialists, Arctic Front is a clarion call to all Canadians about our endangered Arctic region, challenging the country to step away from the symbols and myth-making of the past and toward the urgent political, environmental and economic realities of the 21st century.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作者在本书中提出警告，随着全球变暖继续融化西北通道的冰川以及对北方资源的竞争加剧，加拿大将不得不保护这一地区免受严重衰退的威胁。我们的领导人现在就要采取行动，把国防和发展结合起来，在这个脆弱的地区完成加拿大的国家建设。
本书通过四位加拿大知名的北方专家积极而富有活力的合作，告诉所有加拿大人有关濒临威胁的北极地区的现实，要求加拿大摆脱过去的象征和神话制造，直面21世纪紧迫的政治、环境和经济现状。（LYR）
