maintains the nation-state close to the center of the analy-sis. More references to other dimensions of the LASHIPA project—which was indeed a thoroughly international endeavor—would have helped to overcome this relatively narrow national focus. This book needs to be recognized as one important part of a broader research project that cer-tainly seems to be achieving the author’s stated goals. As it stands, some revisions to the doctoral dissertation would be necessary to make this book attractive to general readers with an interest in Arctic history. But this fascinating book will already be of great interest to a broad range of special-ist scholars working on polar themes.
