Restoration of the Great Lakes
Promises, Practices, and Performances
Mark Sproule-Jones
The Great Lakes of North America are one
of the world’s most important natural resources.
The source of vast quantities of fish, shipping lanes,
hydroelectric energy, and usable water, they are
also increasingly the site of severe environmental
degradation and resource contamination. This
study analyzes how well governments and other
stakeholders are addressing this critical problem.

of Network Technology
Darin Barney
Shortlisted for the 2001/2002 Harold Adams

Avoiding Armageddon
Canadian Military Strategy and Nuclear
Weapons, 1950-63
