This collection of thoughtful essays by an impressive group of expert contributors examines separation and inter-action along the aquatic borders, boundaries, and borderlands shared by Canada and the United States. How distinct jurisdictions as neighbours at various political levels have and will con-tinue to face common challenges makes this volume a valuable record of aquatic envi-ronmental history and a source of insights into the future of water, aptly described by the editors as âa fundamental environmental and moral concern of the twenty-first century.â -Jamie Benidickson, Faculty of Law and Centre for Environmental Law and Global Sustainability, University of Ottawa
