"In Cold Margins" examines the historical & geographical patterns, ways of life, & problems faced in the development of the Northern Rim. It explores the last frontiers, the northern reaches of the some of the most populous nations that are also among the least inhabited places on earth. The Northern Rim encompasses the subarctic boreal forest belt, a huge reserve of water, forests, minerals & wildlife that interact in important ways to affect the planet. These least developed North American & Eurasian hinterlands support relatively few people surrounded by large wilderness areas. "In Cold Margins" addresses development of these ecologically important places in ways that preserve their social & natural vitality, minimize destruction, & insure long term sustainability. This book reflects the author's extensive travels through Scandinavia, Siberia, Hokkaido, Canada & Alaska & discussions with a diversity of northern peoples & experts, including Ainu, Sammi, governors, industrialists, ecologists, scholars, community activists, architects & artists. A search for an appropriate framework in which to discuss impacts of human interactions with specific places & natural systems also subjects the discourses of the bioregion & sustainability to critical examination. Designed to represent an artistic union of form & content. "In Cold Margins" is a graphic delight of subtle textures & colors resonant of walks through cool forests under northern skies.
