Summary:
"In
High
Latitudes
, Farley Mowat hoped to write a book that would let northern people speak for themselves and that would expose the speciousness of the political idea that the North was a bloody great wasteland” with no people in it, and therefore resource developers could exploit it however they chose. For reasons Mowat describes, that book did not get written then. But here it is now, with the original conversations recorded by Mowat during that epic
journey
. In vintage Mowat fashion, the legendary writer delivers a sweeping narrative brimming with breathtaking nature writing, suspenseful storytelling, larger-than-life characters, ferocious humor, pitiless rage, iconoclastic insights, and compassionate concern."--Skyhorse Publishing.
