Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"Intended to delight and provoke, these short, beautifully crafted essays, enlivened with photos and illustrations, explore how humans have engaged with the Canadian
environment
and what those interactions say about the nature of
Canada
. Tracing a path from the Ice Age to the Anthropocene, some of the foremost stars in the field of environmental history reflect on how we, as a nation, have idolized and found inspiration in nature even as fishers, fur traders, farmers, foresters, miners, and city planners have commodified it or tried to tame it. They also travel lesser known routes, revealing how Indigenous people listened to glaciers and what they have to tell us; and how even the nature we can't see - the smallest of pathogens - has served the interests of some while threatening the very existence of others. The Nature of
Canada
will make you think differently not only about
Canada
and its past but quite possibly about
Canada
and its future. Its insights are just what we need as
Canada
attempts to reconcile the opposing goals of prosperity and preservation."--From publisher.
