' ... this extensively researched book is both a readable and recommended addition to the bookshelf'.The Geographical Journal, "...could serve as a textbook for history students. ...contains a wealth of meticulously documented information." Theresa Ani^D'skowicz, Canadian Geographic, "...Levere has succeeded brilliantly...a captivating and well-researched history of the science carried out in the Canadian Arctic during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries." Hannah Gay, Canadian Historical Review, "Levere's book is the first comprehensive examination of scientific activity in the Canadian arctic islands from 1818 to 1918, and it is truly an impressive work. Drawing on a masterful understanding of the physical and natural sciences and an exhaustive reading of the various sources, Levere has produced a richly informed assessment of the motives underlying arctic science, the investigators and their activities, and the discoveries and advances. Little is overlooked. Levere is just as comfortable discussing techniques and instruments as he is personalities and politics. The story is also amply supplemented by maps, sketches, and photographs that nicely complement the text....Levere is to be commended for what should quickly prove to be the standard reference work on the subject. He has tackled a formidable project and produced a fine piece of scholarship on the Arctic." W. A. Waiser, American Historical Review, ' … this extensively researched book is both a readable and recommended addition to the bookshelf'. The Geographical Journal, ""...a rich and absorbing record of the tensions and rivalries underlying nineteenth-century scientific endeavors throughout the Arctic region. The conflicting claims of painstaking investigative study and territorial ambitions are well highlighted..."' Times Literary Supplement, July 29, 1994, "...an impressive display of wide and well-integrated scholarship...interestingly and copiously illustrated..." The Northern Mariner, "In history it is essential to tell the story, providing the opulent complexity that comes from extensive reading in the primary printed sources and in the manuscripts. Levere does this...Levere will edify you and engage you." Gregory A. Good, Science, ' ... this extensively researched book is both a readable and recommended addition to the bookshelf'. The Geographical Journal, "Trevor Levere's brilliant, extremely wide-ranging study of science in arctic Canada leaves almost no stone unturned...imparts information regarding the early background and more recent developments and discoveries in subjects as diverse as geology, mineralogy, hydrography, meteorology, goemagnetism, astronomy...an extremely valuable survey and reference work, an open sesame to almost any subject, covers the political, social, military and economic contexts of science in the northern half of North America. It is a must for every major library..." C. Stuart Houston, Book Reviews, ‘ … this extensively researched book is both a readable and recommended addition to the bookshelf’.The Geographical Journal

Synopsis
This is a study of the nature and role of science in the exploration of the Canadian Arctic. It covers the century that began with the British Royal Naval expeditions of 1818 and ends with the Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913-1918. Professor Levere focuses on the imperialistic dimensions and nationalistic aspirations that informed arctic science, and situates its rise in the context of economic and military history of nineteenth and early twentieth century Europe and North America. Accessibly written and prodigously researched, Science and the Canadian Arctic should appeal to an audience of historians, environmental scientists, and anyone interested in the Arctic., This is a study of the nature and role of science in the exploration of the Canadian Arctic.
