managed annihilationAn Unnatural History of the Newfoundland Cod Collapsedean l.Y. Bavington

Unlike other efforts to make sense of the tragedy of the commons of the northern cod fishery and its halting recovery, Bavington calls into question the very premise of management and managerial ecology and offers a critical explanation that seeks to uncover alternatives obscured by this dominant way of relating to nature.– Bonnie McCay, Department of Human Ecology,

Rutgers University

The Newfoundland and Labrador cod fishery was once the most successful commercial ground fishery in the world. When it collapsed in 1992, fishermen, scholars, and scientists pointed to failures in management such as uncontrolled harvesting as likely culprits. Managed Annihilation makes the case that the idea of natural resource management itself was the problem. The collapse occurred when the fisheries were state managed and still, nearly two decades later, there is no recovery in sight. Although the collapse raised doubts among policy-makers about their ability to understand, predict, and control nature, their ultimate goal of control through management has not wavered – it has simply been transferred from wild fish to fishermen and farmed cod.

the aquaculture Controversy in CanadaActivism, Policy, and Contested Sciencenathan Young and ralph matthews

The Aquaculture Controversy in Canada successfully negotiates the minefield of partisan positions and provides a clear way to grasp the multidimensional character of the aquaculture controversy.– Jeremy Rayner, University of Regina

The farming of aquatic organisms is one of the most promising but controversial new industries in Canada. The industry has the potential to solve food supply problems, but critics believe it poses unacceptable threats to human health, local communities, and the environment. This book is not about the methods and techniques of aquaculture but an exploration of the controversy itself. Rather than choosing sides, Nathan young and Ralph Matthews present the controversy as a multi-layered conflict about knowledge, rights, and development. Comprehensive and balanced, this book addresses one of the most contentious public policy and environmental issues facing the world today.

Birds of ontario: habitat requirements, limiting Factors, and statusNonpasserines: Shorebirds through Woodpeckersal sandilands, Illustrations by Ross James

Praise for the first volume: Sandilands has done a very thorough job of researching information ... A tremendous amount of material is summarized in the species accounts, and it is presented in a well-written style. I strongly recommend this book and future volumes in the series.– Ron Tozer, ontario Birds

Praise for the first volume: Without a doubt, this volume will be a valuable resource that summarizes current and past scientific literature on habitat requirements, limiting factors, status, migration, and seasonal issues at a level of rigor and detail much higher than that found in most field identification guides ... Knowledge of bird ecology is becoming increasingly important to resource managers, and for this reason alone this book is very timely.– Rob Rempel, Quarterly Review of Biology

The volumes in the Birds of ontario series summarize life history requirements of bird species that are normally part of the ecology of ontario. The first volume dealt with waterfowl through cranes while this volume deals with shorebirds through woodpeckers and completes the treatment of the nonpasserines. Information on habitat, limiting factors, and status are dealt with for the three main bird seasons: breeding, migration, and winter. It will be an essential reference for biologists, planners, environmental consultants, and other resource professionals involved in environmental issues and management pertaining to birds. It will also be a valuable reference for serious birders. Although focusing on birds of ontario, the book will be relevant to adjacent provinces and states.

sensing ChangesTechnologies, Environments, and the Everyday, 1953–2003Joy parr

In this stunningly creative book, Joy Parr asks how twentieth-century “mega-projects” – dams, power plants, canals, military bases – have transformed local people’s most intimate experience of themselves and their environments. The examples are Canadian but the insights are global. – Conevery Bolton Valencius. author of The Health of

the Country: How American Settlers Understood Themselves and Their Land

our bodies are archives of sensory knowledge that shape how we understand the world. If our environment changes at an unsettling pace, how will we make sense of a world that is no longer familiar? one of Canada’s premier historians tackles this question by exploring situations in the recent past where state-driven megaprojects and regulatory and technological changes forced ordinary people to cope with transformations that were so radical that they no longer recognized their home and workplaces or, by implication, who they were. In concert with a ground-breaking, creative, and analytical website, megaprojects.uwo.ca, this timely study offers a prescient perspective on how humans make sense of a rapidly changing world.

what is water?The History of a Modern AbstractionJamie linton

Beginning a book as Jamie Linton does this one, with the claim that “water is what we make of it,” is an act of provocation ... Just as a stone thrown into a lake spreads ripples outward across its surface, so Linton’s provocation sends intellectual shock waves hammering into pervasive ways of understanding and defining water, invites reflection on the ways in which people have thought about water in the past, and heightens awareness of the consequences that will flow from what we make of water in the future.– from the Foreword by Graeme Wynn

We all know what water is, and we often take it for granted. But the spectre of a worldwide water crisis suggests that there might be something fundamentally wrong with the way we think about water. Jamie Linton dives into the history of water as an abstract concept, stripped of its environmental, social, and cultural contexts. Reduced to a scientific abstraction – to mere H20 – this concept has given modern society licence to dam, divert, and manipulate water with apparent impunity. Part of the solution to the water crisis involves reinvesting water with social content, thus altering the way we see water. What Is Water? offers a fresh approach to a fundamental problem.

nuclear waste management in CanadaCritical Issues, Critical PerspectivesEdited by darrin durant and genevieve Fuji Johnson

This book is a solid contribution to the political science of public consultation, a strong message to the Canadian nuclear industry, and a sophisticated source of support for individuals and groups who wish to challenge basic assumptions we should never take for granted.– Peter Stoett, Department of Political Science,

Concordia University

As oil reserves decline and the environment takes centre stage in public policy discussions, the merits and dangers of nuclear power and nuclear waste management are once again being debated. Nuclear Waste Management in Canada provides a critical counterpoint to the position of government and industry by examining not only the technical but also the social and ethnical aspects of the issue. What do frequently used terms such as safety, risk, and acceptability really mean? And how and why did the public consultation process in Canada fail to address ethical and social issues? This timely collection defuses the uncertainty, ambiguity, and ignorance that surrounds discussions of nuclear energy.

the industrial transformation of subarctic Canadaliza piper

Winner, 2010 K.d. srivastava prize

Liza Piper’s book couples an impressive command of archival sources and empirical detail with an unusually diverse range of scholarship, and demonstrates a creative intelligence that ultimately brings readers to think about the meanings embedded in language, metaphor, and imagination.– From the Foreword by Graeme Wynn

Between 1821 and 1960, industrial economies took root in the North, transgressing political geographies and superseding the historically dominant fur trade. Imported southern scientists and sojourning labourers worked the Northwest, and its industrial history bears these newcomers’ imprint. The Industrial Transformation of Subarctic Canada reveals the history of human impact upon the North. It provides a baseline, grounded in historical and scientific evidence, for measuring Subactic environmental change. Liza Piper examines the sustainability of industrial economies, the value of resource exploitation in volatile ecosystems, and the human consequences of northern environmental change. She also addresses northern communities’ historical resistance to external resource development and their fight for survival in the face of intensifying environmental and economic pressures.

the nurture of natureChildhood, Antimodernism, and ontario Summer Camps, 1920–55sharon wall

The Nurture of Nature represents a major study of an important but neglected subject. It is an important contribution to the study of leisure and recreation in Canada, to the understanding of the character of modernity, and to the history of summer camps.– Keith Walden, Department of History, Trent

University

Thousands of children attended summer camps in twentieth-century ontario. Did parents simply want a break, or were broader developments at play? The Nurture of Nature explores how competing cultural tendencies – antimodern nostalgia and modern sensibilities about the landscape, child rearing, and identity – shaped the development of summer camps and, consequently, modern social life in North America. A valuable resource for those interested in the connections between the history of childhood, the natural environment, and recreation, The Nature of Nurture will also appeal to anyone who has been packed off to camp and wants to explore why.

Environmental Conflict and democracy in CanadaEdited by laurie E. adkin

This book helps reorient environmental discussions in Canada away from standard revisionist policy approaches toward a deeper consideration of how democratic aspirations can push back against the tight policy monopolies that control the environmental agenda in Canada. This perspective is absolutely central to addressing [our country’s] environmental problems.– Ray Rogers, york University

The urgent need to resolve conflicts over forests, fisheries, farming practices, urban sprawl, and greenhouse-gas reductions, among many others, calls for a critical re-thinking of the nature of our democracy and citizenship. This work aims to move the ideas of green democracy and ecological citizenship from the margins to the centre of discussion and debate in Canada. Environmental Conflict and Democracy in Canada offers sixteen case studies to demonstrate that environmental conflicts are always about our rights and responsibilities as citizens and about the quality of our democratic institutions. By bringing together environmental politics and democratic theory, this path-breaking collection charts a new course for research and activism, one that reveals the deficits of citizenship and how democracy must be extended to achieve a socially just, ecologically sustainable society.

Forestry and BiodiversityLearning How to Sustain Biodiversity in Managed ForestsEdited by Fred Bunnell and glen dunsworth

Sustainable management is a problem for all countries that depend on natural resources. As global demand for forest products increases, conserving biodiversity has become more urgent and challenging. Forestry and Biodiversity advocates adaptive management – a structured approach to learning by doing – to sustain biodiversity in managed forests. It draws on the theory and principles of conservation biology and forest ecology and illustrates them, and the challenges they pose, through a practical, real-world study of commercial forestry in a coastal temperate rainforest. Accessible and innovative, it will be of interest to those who plan, or hope to influence, forest practices and the future of the environment.

Emerging technologiesFrom Hindsight to ForesightEdited by Edna F. Einsiedel

New technologies emerge all the time. Some technologies, however, are transformative: they introduce new forms of control, both through formal systems of regulation and by informally shaping our behaviour. How should we think about these radical technologies? Too often our social reactions to new technologies occur only in hindsight, after a technology has penetrated the marketplace. However, recent experience teaches that much may be gained by practising forethought and foresight. Emerging Technologies addresses the ethical, legal, and social dimensions of emerging technologies and assesses their social and policy implications. Contributors examine the development, impact, and governance of new technologies emerging from a variety of fields, including biotechnology, genetics, stem cell research, pharmacology, and nanotechnology.

setting the standardCertification, Governance, and the Forest Stewardship CouncilChristopher tollefson, Fred gale, and david haley

Setting the Standard chronicles the emergence and implications of an ambitious experiment in civil-society-led global governance: the Forest Stewardship Council. The FSC was born in 1993 as a grassroots initiative to promote “environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests” through an international system of forest certification. The FSC standard for British Columbia was achieved only after difficult and protracted negotiations at the regional, national, and global levels. Drawing on a pioneering case study of this negotiation process, Setting the Standard explores the challenges associated with implementing the FSC’s global vision on the ground.

sins of the FleshA History of Ethical Vegetarian Thoughtrod preece

Unlike previous books on the history of vegetarianism, Sins of the Flesh examines the history of vegetarianism in its ethical dimensions, from the origins of humanity through to the present.

Full ethical consideration for animals resulting in the eschewing of flesh arose after the Aristotelian period in Greece and recurred in Ancient Rome, but then mostly disappeared for centuries. Despite the occasional presence of ascetic and cultural vegetarianism, it was not until the turn of the nineteenth century that vegetarian thought was revived and enjoyed some success; it subsequently went into another period of decline that lasted through much of the twentieth century. The authority-questioning cultural revolution of the 1960s brought a fresh resurgence of vegetarian ethics that continues to the present day.

Sins of the Flesh is a ground-breaking history of ethical vegetarianism that will appeal to all readers concerned with human-animal relations and the foundations of animal rights.

owls of the united states and CanadaA Complete Guide to Their Biology and Behaviorwayne lynch

In this gorgeous book, celebrated natural history writer and wildlife photographer Wayne Lynch reveals the secrets of these elusive species with stunning photographs, personal anecdotes, and accessible science. The photos alone are masterpieces. Unlike most published owl photos, the majority of these were taken in the wild – a product of the author-photographer’s incredible knowledge and patience.

Lynch complements the photos with facts about anatomy, habitat, diet, and family life. For each of nineteen species inhabiting Canada and the United States, he provides a range map and a brief discussion of its distribution, population size, and status. Lynch debunks myths about owls’ “supernatural” powers of sight and hearing, discusses courtship rituals, and offers personal tips for finding them in the wild.

home is the hunterThe James Bay Cree and Their Landhans m. Carlson Foreword by Graeme Wynn

The James Bay Cree lived in relative isolation until 1970, when Northern Quebec was swept up in the political and cultural changes of the Quiet Revolution. The ensuing years have brought immense change for the Cree, who now live with the consequences of Quebec’s massive development of hydroelectricity, timber, and mineral resources in the North.

Home Is the Hunter presents the historical, environmental, and cultural context from which this recent story grows. Hans Carlson shows how the Cree view their lands as their home, their garden, and their memory of themselves as a people. By investigating the Cree’s relationship with the land and their three hundred years of contact with outsiders, the author illuminates the process of cultural negotiation at the foundation of ongoing political and environmental debates.

hans m. Carlson has travelled extensively in northern Quebec and Labrador by canoe and snowshoe. He is currently teaching in the American Indian Studies program at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

the reluctant landSociety, Space, and Environment in Canada before ConfederationCole harris

Winner, 2008 K.d. srivastava prize for Excellence in scholarly publishing

The Reluctant Land describes the evolving pattern of settlement and the changing relationships of people and land in Canada from the end of the fifteenth century to the Confederation years of the late 1860s and early 1870s. It shows how a deeply indigenous land was reconstituted in European terms, and, at the same time, how European ways were recalibrated in this non-European space. It also shows how an archipelago of scattered settlement emerged out of an encounter with a parsimonious land, and suggests how deeply this encounter differed from an American relationship with abundance.

The book begins with a description of land and life in northern North America in 1500, and ends by considering the relationship between the pattern of early Canada and the country as we know it today. In between, chapters on Canada and Acadia during the French regime, Newfoundland, the Maritimes, Lower and Upper Canada, the northwestern interior, and British Columbia treat changing regional relationships among society, economy, and environment.

landing native FisheriesIndian Reserves and Fishing Rights in British Columbia, 1849–1925douglas C. harris

Commended for the 2009 lieutenant-governor’s medal for historical writing, British Columbia Historical Federation

Landing Native Fisheries reveals the contradictions and consequences of an Indian land policy premised on access to fish, on one hand, and a program of fisheries management intended to open the resource to newcomers, on the other. Beginning with the first treaties signed on Vancouver Island between 1850 and 1854, Douglas Harris maps the connections between the colonial land policy and the law governing the fisheries. In so doing, Harris rewrites the history of colonial dispossession in British Columbia, offering a new and nuanced examination of the role of law in the consolidation of power within the colonial state.

Based on extensive research in the Arctic Russian region of Chukotka, Settlers on the Edge is the first English-language account of settler life anywhere in the circumpolar north to appear since Robert Paine’s The White Arctic (1977), and the first to explore the experiences of Soviet-era migrants to the far north. Niobe Thompson describes the remarkable transformation of a population once dedicated to establishing colonial power on a northern frontier into a rooted community of locals now resisting a renewed colonial project. He also provides unique insights into the future of identity politics in the Arctic, the role of resource capital and the oligarchs in the Russian provinces, and the fundamental human questions of belonging and transience.

nioBE thompson is a documentary filmmaker, a partner in Clearwater Media, and a research associate at the Canadian Circumpolar Institute. He also teaches in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alberta.

Kiumajut (talking Back)Game Management and Inuit Rights, 1950–70peter Kulchyski and Frank James tester

Kiumajut [Talking Back]: Game Management and Inuit Rights 1900–70 examines Inuit relations with the Canadian state, with a particular focus on two interrelated issues. The first is how a deeply flawed set of scientific practices for counting animal populations led policymakers to develop policies and laws intended to curtail the activities of Inuit hunters. Animal management informed by this knowledge became a justification for attempts to educate and, ultimately, to regulate Inuit hunters. The second issue is Inuit responses to the emerging regime of government intervention. The authors look closely at resulting court cases and rulings, as well as Inuit petitions. The activities of the first Inuit community council are also examined in exploring how Inuit began to “talk back” to the Canadian state. This volume provides the reader with new and important insights for understanding this critical period in the history of Inuit in Canada.

hunting for EmpireNarratives of Sport in Rupert’s Land, 1840–70greg gillespie

Hunting for Empire offers a fresh cultural history of sport and imperialism. Greg Gillespie integrates critical perspectives from cultural studies, literary criticism, and cultural geography to analyze the themes of authorship, sport, science, and nature. In doing so he produces a unique theoretical lens through which to study nineteenth-century British big-game hunting and exploration narratives from the western interior of Rupert’s Land.

Sharply written and evocatively illustrated, Hunting for Empire will appeal to students and scholars of culture, sport, geography, and history, and to general readers interested in stories of hunting, empire, and the Canadian wilderness.

hunters at the marginNative People and Wildlife Conservation in the Northwest TerritoriesJohn sandlos

Winner, 2008 Charles a. weyerhaeuser Book award, Forest History Society

Winner, 2008 Clio award (north), Canadian Historical Association

Hunters at the Margin examines the conflict in the Northwest Territories between Native hunters and conservationists over three big game species: the wood bison, the muskox, and the caribou. John Sandlos argues that the introduction of game regulations, national parks, and game sanctuaries was central to the assertion of state authority over the traditional hunting cultures of the Dene and Inuit. His archival research undermines the assumption that conservationists were motivated solely by enlightened preservationism, revealing instead that commercial interests were integral to wildlife management in Canada.

Winner, 2008 Clio award (British Columbia), Canadian Historical Assocation

The Archive of Place weaves together a series of narratives about environmental history in a particular location – British Columbia’s Chilcotin Plateau. In the mid-1990s, the Chilcotin was at the centre of three territorial conflicts. opposing groups, in their struggle to control the fate of the region and its resources, invoked different understandings of its past – and different types of evidence – to justify their actions. These controversies serve as case studies, as William Turkel examines how people interpret material traces to reconstruct past events, the conditions under which such interpretation takes place, and the role that this interpretation plays in historical consciousness and social memory. It is a wide-ranging and original study that extends the span of conventional historical research.

Creating a modern CountrysideLiberalism and Land Resettlement in British ColumbiaJames murton

Winner, 2007 K.d. srivastava prize for Excellence in Scholarly Publishing

In the early 1900s, British Columbia embarked on a brief but intense effort to manufacture a modern countryside. The government wished to reward veterans of the Great War with new lives: soliders and other settlers would benefit from living in a rural community, considered a more healthy and moral alternative to urban life. But the fundamental reason for the land resettlement project was the rise of progressive or “new liberal” thinking, as reformers advocated an expanded role for the state in guaranteeing the prosperity and economic security of its citizens.

Creating a Modern Countryside examines how this process unfolded, identifies its successes and failures, and demonstrates how the human-environment relationship of the early twentieth century shaped the province we live in today.

awful splendourA Fire History of Canadastephen J. pyne

Fire is a defining element in Canadian land and life. With few exceptions, Canada’s forests and prairies have evolved with fire. Its peoples have exploited fire and sought to protect themselves from its excesses, and since Confederation, the country has devised various institutions to connect fire and society. The choices Canadians have made says a great deal about their national character. Awful Splendour narrates the history of this grand saga. It will interest geographers, historians, and members of the fire community.

stEphEn J. pYnE is one of the world’s foremost chroniclers of the cultural and environmental history of fire. He is the author of the Cycle of Fire, a suite of six books examining the history of fire around the world.

taking the airIdeas and Change in Canada’s National Parkspaul Kopas

Natural resource management is a major area of Canadian policy, as recent literature reveals. yet analysts have devoted little attention to the management of parks and protected areas. In Taking the Air, Paul Kopas takes a comprehensive approach to this aspect of policy debate. He scrutinizes the policy-making process for national parks since the mid-1950s and interrogates the rationale and policies that have governed their administration.

Kopas argues that national parks and park policy reflect not only environmental concerns but also the political and social attitudes of bureaucrats, citizens, interest groups, Aboriginal peoples, and legal authorities. He explores how the goals of each group have been shaped by the historical context of park policy, influencing the shape and weight of their contributions.

Farming in a Changing ClimateAgricultural Adaptation in CanadaEdited by Ellen wall, Barry smit, and Johanna wandel

Canadian farming has evolved under the influence of climate and weather – a process that continues with climate change. Unfortunately, climate change risks and opportunities are not always well understood among researchers and policy makers in the Canadian agri-food sector. This book addresses that gap. Farming in a Changing Climate provides a wide-ranging synopsis of what climate change means for Canadian agriculture. The book explores different approaches to the topic, and presents examples of current research. It covers all agricultural regions and a wide variety of commodity production and farming systems. Comments from agricultural producers and policy makers add a practical component to the book and emphasize the value of the applied research.

EllEn wall is a research scientist in environmental sciences; BarrY smit is a professor of geography and Canada Research Chair in Global Environmental Change; and Johanna wandEl is a postdoctoral research associate with the Department of Geography – all at the University of Guelph.

genetically modified diplomacyThe Global Politics of Agricultural Biotechnology and the Environmentpeter andrée

When genetically engineered seeds were first deployed in the Americas in the mid-1990s, the biotechnology industry and its partners envisaged a world in which their crops would be widely accepted as the food of the future, providing a growing population with improved nutrition and offering farmers more sustainable production options. Critics, however, raised a variety of social, environmental, economic, and health concerns regarding engineered crops. This clash in perspectives led to a protracted international struggle over the establishment of regulations for genetically engineered organisms (GEos).

Genetically Modified Diplomacy traces the emergence of a key outcome of this struggle – the 2000 Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety – and the discourse of precaution toward GEos that the protocol institutionalized internationally. The precautionary view is a significant departure from the way the biotechnology industry first presented GEos to the world. Peter Andrée explains this reversal in the “common-sense” understanding of genetic engineering, and discusses the new debates it has engendered.

the Culture of FlushingA Social and Legal History of SewageJamie Benidickson

To most, the flush of a toilet is routine: the way we banish waste and ensure cleanliness. It is safe, efficient, necessary, nonpolitical, and utterly unremarkable. yet Jamie Benidickson’s examination of the social and legal history of sewage in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom demonstrates that the uncontroversial reputation of flushing is deceptive. The Culture of Flushing is particularly relevant in a time when community water quality can no longer be taken for granted, as it investigates and clarifies the murky evolution of waste treatment. This book is essential reading for specialists in environmental history, environmental law, public health, engineering, and public policy. Those concerned with protecting water quality and the environment will also find it unique, comprehensive, and accessible.

Eau CanadaThe Future of Canada’s WaterEdited by Karen Bakker

As the sustainability of our natural resources is increasingly questioned, Canadians remain stubbornly convinced of the unassailability of our water. Mounting evidence suggests, however, that Canadian water is under threat. Eau Canada assembles the country’s top water experts to discuss our most pressing water issues. Perspectives from a broad range of thinkers – geographers, environmental lawyers, former government officials, aquatic and political scientists, and economists – reflect the diversity of concerns in water management. Arguing that weak governance is at the heart of Canada’s water problems, this timely book identifies our key failings, explores debates over jurisdiction, transboundary waters, exports, and privatization, and maps out solutions for protecting our most important resource.

Winner, 2007 sir John a. macdonald prize, Canadian Historical Association

Since the early days of the fur trade, wildlife has been powerfully and inspiringly emblematic of Canada. yet the story of saving Canada’s wildlife is largely unknown. States of Nature is one of the first books to trace the development of Canadian wildlife conservation from its social, political, and historical roots. While noting the influence of celebrity conservationists such as Jack Miner and Grey owl, Tina Loo emphasizes the impact of ordinary people on the evolution of wildlife management in Canada. She also explores the elements leading up to the emergence of the modern environmental movement, ranging from the reliance on and practical knowledge of wildlife demonstrated by rural people to the more aloof and scientific approach of state-sponsored environmentalism. Illustrated with evocative images of the Canadian wilderness of yesteryear and supported by historical case studies, States of Nature will appeal to historians, policy makers, and wildlife managers, as well as to general readers fascinated by the natural world and its champions.

development’s displacementsEconomies, Ecologies, and Cultures at RiskEdited by peter vandergeest, pablo idahosa, and pablo s. Bose

As multilateral agencies, social movements, and state authorities worldwide struggle to cope with the effects of large-scale development projects, the problem of displacement remains unresolved. The crisis of “development refugees” – those forced to relocate not by wars or political conflicts but rather because of development policies, programs, and projects – is becoming increasingly prevalent across the globe. This volume seeks to address displacement as a broad and multilayered phenomenon. A series of illustrative case studies drawn from around the globe provide causal accounts of why and how displacement occurs, what its effects on communities, ecosystems, and economies look like, and the normative or ethical positions held by key actors involved.

the Culture of hunting in CanadaEdited by Jean manore and dale miner

The Culture of Hunting covers elements of the history of hunting from the pre-colonial period until the present in all parts of Canada, featuring essays by practitioners and scholars of hunting and by pro- and anti-hunting lobbyists. The result crosses the boundaries between scholarship and personal reflection, and between academia and advocacy. The essays collected here address important historical and contemporary issues that include hunting identities; conservation and its relationship to hunting; tensions between hunters and non-hunters and between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal hunting groups; hunting ethics; debates over hunting practices and regulations; animal rights; and gun control. The discussion involves consideration of the social, political, and economic context as well as class and racial tensions between sport hunters and subsistence hunters. The Culture of Hunting in Canada makes an unprecedented contribution to the study of hunting in Canada and its role in our culture.

Why is British Columbia unique within Canada? What forces have made the landscape so rugged and climate so varied? Why did non-Natives come to the area and what impact has their presence had on First Nations? What prompted so many Asian immigrants to arrive in the province and then leave for other parts of the country? How have the rich resources of the land been exploited and managed historically and today? This new edition of Geography of British Columbia discusses these and many other aspects of this distinctive province. Fully updated statistics, graphs, and maps inform this comprehensive exploration of the development of British Columbia.

Why Publish with UBC Press?

OUR AWARD-WINNING LIST UBC Press publishes books by leading scholars and up-and-coming academics, and our books consistently garner praise and win awards for both content and design.

EFFICIENCY UBC Press is one of the most progressive and entrepreneurial university presses in North America. We move quickly to get your book published and focus resources on expertly marketing books to regional, national, and international markets.

LOCATION UBC Press has offices with editorial staff in Vancouver and Toronto. We also have national sales coverage, allowing us to reach your readership as effectively as possible.

SIZE As a mid-sized publisher, UBC Press is big enough to have efficient systems but small enough to retain a personal touch. We view authors as our most important resource and strive to keep the lines of communication wide open throughout the editorial, production, and marketing processes.

EDITORIAL COMMITMENT UBC Press has a dynamic, energetic, and experienced team of editors work hard to ensure that authors find the experience of working with the Press positive and rewarding.

PRODUCTION AND DESIGN UBC Press books are widely recognized for the excellence of their design and regularly receive major design awards. Our skilled team of production editors is one of the finest in the business.

TECHNOLOGICAL EXPERTISE Our state-of-the-art production procedures, combined with access to some of the best designers, typesetters, cartographers, and editors, enable us to produce finished books without undue delay, rivaling and often surpassing other scholarly presses, and to an unparalleled standard.

MARKETING UBC Press conducts a wide range of promotional activities, fields a national team of trade representatives, and has a full-time staff to promote books with potential for course use at universities and colleges.

INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS Our excellent marketing and distribution agents specialize in academic books and hold stock in their own distribution facilities in Seattle, London, and Hong Kong.
