James Stone works as an economist at the Department of International Trade Canada. He first rediscovered A.P. Low while a student at Queen's University and kept the idea of writing the biography of this man in the back of his mind since then. Jim has varied northern experience, including geodetic mapping in northern Quebec and the Yukon, canoeing the Nahanni, the Hanbury/Thelon Rivers, and now the Eastmain and Rupert Rivers.
