Norman, Alice Cohen, and Karen BakkerSince 1909, the waters along the Canada-US border have been governed inaccordance with the Boundary Water Treaty, but much has changed in the last 100years. This engaging volume brings together experts from both sides <strong>of</strong> the borderto examine the changing relationship between Canada and the US with respectto shared waters, as well as the implications <strong>of</strong> these changes for geopolitics andthe environment.
