Adopting both a chronological and thematic approach, Laurel MacDowell explores human interactions with the land, and the origins of the current environmental crisis, from first peoples to the Kyoto Protocol. This richly illustrated exploration of the past from an environmental perspective will change the way we think about – and look at – Canada.
