Northern Lights Series
A series of published works of a non-technical nature from all areas of Northern scholarship.
About the Series
In 2002 AINA and the University of Calgary Press established a joint publication initiative entitled The Northern Lights Series. The mandate of the series is to publish works of a nontechnical nature from all areas of northern scholarship: the natural, social, and earth sciences and the humanities. The geographical area covered by this series is the North, broadly defined as those circumpolar regions situated within the zone of continuous and discontinuous permafrost.
