He examines how the inhabitants of this land have used maps for their own purposes – some laudable, some creative and some despicable. And he shows us how maps – made by Inuit hunters, hobos, explorers, missionaries, adventurers, marketers and artists – are often windows on our world views, our assumptions and our dreams. They mirror the best and worst in human nature. They tell the story of Canada.’ (from front flap)
