Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. North of 50° - An Atlas of Far Northern Ontario; Royal Commission on the Northern Environment, J. E. J. Fahlgren, Commissioner; Cartography by The Department of Geography, University of Toronto, under the direction of Geoffrey Matthews, Chief Cartographer; published for the Royal Commission on the Northern Environment on behalf of the Government of Ontario by University of Toronto Press, Toronto Buffalo London, 1985. From the blurb the vast area of Ontario north of the most northerly transcontinental railway holds only 30,000 people but extends over 500,000 square kilometres, about half the area of the province. It lies within the world's southernmost projection of the Boreal forest and Subarctic zones. This atlas shows features of the area that must be taken into account by those making decisions about future development. It contains 54 full-colour plates and more than 200 maps. The Commission was formed in response to the activities of a multinational pulp-and-paper company in this environmentally and culturally vulnerable area. The company's mill at Dryden had already contaminated the Wabigoon-English-Winnipeg river system with mercury, contributing greatly to the economic and social collapse of two Indian settlements downstream. The Commission's recommendations are intended to ensure that whatever development occurs in the area does not take place at the expense of its environment or without the involvement of all groups affected. Agencies and groups involved in decision making about development must have access to accurate and comprehensive geographic information. In this the atlas fulfils a practical social purpose in what Commissioner J. E. J. Falgren calls a "wide gap" in atlas coverage of far northern Ontario. This folio sized book, 119 pages measuring 297mm X 420mm, is in fine condition in a fine dust jacket. There are two fold-out pages displaying information. This book was developed for a specific non-retail purpose and hence copies are very scarce. This large and heavy volume will require additional postage. N° de réf. du vendeur 2185d
