Sensing Changes

Technologies, Environments, and the Everyday, 1953-2003 Joy Parr

Global environmental change is quickening, its portents unsettling. When the air, land, and water around us are different from what we have known, how will we make sense of the “new normal” or, more probably, a “cascade of new normals”?

Joy Parr is a professor and Canada Research Chair in Technology, Culture and Risk in the Geography Department at the University of Western Ontario, London. December 2009 256 pages, 6 x 9” 978-0-7748-1723-3 hc $85.00 978-0-7748-1724-0 pb $32.95 (PB, July 2010) Nature | History | Society

Joy Parr tackles these questions by looking at local examples from the recent past of people who have had to cope with radical changes in habitats where they lived and worked, and in which they expected to persist. The lives of the people described in her accounts were altered by megaprojects (military training grounds, dams and re-engineered waterways, chemical plants, and nuclear reactors) and by environmental factors (new patterns in animal husbandry practices and seasonal rains). In every case, familiar worlds were lost and transformed so thoroughly that long-time residents no longer knew the place where they lived and could no longer be confident about where they were, and by implication, who they were. Sensing Changes is a timely and prescient work by one of Canada’s premier historians. Parr offers new perspectives on how humans make sense of the world in the face of rapid environmental, technological, and social change.

What Is Water?

Environmental studies

The History of a Modern Abstraction Jamie Linton

The book demonstrates, in a clear and concise fashion, the ways in which contemporary social relationships with water have constituted a crisis .... The subject is of fundamental importance and the author’s emphasis on the need to posit environmental concerns within a socio-natural understanding is vital. – Alex Loftus, Department of Geography, University of London Taking an historical approach to the modern concept of water, this volume tackles the history of an idea whose consequences have helped produce a global crisis.

Jamie Linton argues that modern Western society tends to understand water as a scientific abstraction – as merely H20 or the substance occurring in the hydrologic cycle. We have lost sight of its essential fecundity and stripped it of its wider environmental, social, and cultural contexts. This removal, or abstraction, has given modern society license to treat water as something that may dammed, diverted, and manipulated with impunity. The water crisis can be averted, Linton concludes, by deliberately reinvesting water with social content.

The Nurture of Nature

Childhood, Antimodernism, and Ontario Summer Camps, 1920-55 Sharon Wall

By seeking and revealing the cultural meanings of “fresh air” and “wilderness camping,” and of the activities in which campers engaged ... Sharon Wall has produced a multifaceted study that has much to say to historians of the environment. Time and again, The Nurture of Nature reveals the contradictory qualities of the summer camp, even as it offers new insights into the ways in which Canadians struggled to find meaning in modernity. – from the Foreword by Graeme Wynn The Nurture of Nature represents a major study of an important but neglected subject.

Home Is the Hunter

Environmental studies

The James Bay Cree and Their Land Hans M. Carlson

Carlson does more than write the Cree into our narrative; he pens a Cree-centered narrative that writes newcomers into it, and it is this aspect of Carlson’s book that is the most compelling ... Home Is the Hunter is an excellent study of human and environmental relationships. ... Anyone with a minimal understanding of this place and these people should read this book, if only to see where their narratives fit in with others and to gain a greater appreciation for the history of the Cree and for the potential dangers to which we all contribute by pulling resources from the periphery while at the same time imposing our outsider understandings over local ones. – Jonathan Clapperton, University of Saskatchewan

The Industrial Transformation of Subarctic Canada Liza Piper

The industrialization of Canada’s Subarctic relied upon the region’s large northwestern lakes: Winnipeg, Athabasca, Great Slave, and Great Bear. Between 1921 and 1960, these lakes comprised a seam in the Canadian interior where industrial economies took root, transgressing political geographies and superseding the historically dominant fur trade. The state and private enterprise imported southern scientists and sojourning labourers to work 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 environmental change in the Subarctic.

Landing Native Fisheries

Environmental studies

Indian Reserves and Fishing Rights in British Columbia, 1849-1925 Douglas C. Harris

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.

Nuclear Waste Management in Canada Critical Issues, Critical Perspectives

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

Darrin Durant is assistant professor in the Program in Science and Technology Studies at York 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 favourable 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? How and why did the public consultation process in Canada fail to address ethical and social issues? And what is the significance and potential of a public consultation process that involves diverse interests, epistemologies, and actors, including Aboriginal peoples?

Deeply researched and eloquently written, Settlers on the Edge shines light onto hitherto unexplored territory in the literature of the Arctic, namely the tortured birth and mercurial fortunes of Russia?s large arctic settler population. Thompson reveals how the orphan children of a grand Soviet project to “civilize” the North wrought from their post-Soviet misfortunes a new sense of themselves. The picture that emerges – of a people of the arctic landscape – makes an important and long-overdue contribution to our understanding of who belongs in the North. – Farley Mowat Table of Contents Illustrations; Preface; Acknowledgments 1 Introduction Part 1: The Soviet Years, 1955-91 2 Northern Settlement and the Late-Soviet State 3 Arctic Idyll: Living in Soviet Chukotka Part 2: Transition to Crisis, 1991-2000 4 Idyll Destroyed 5 Surviving without the State Part 3: Reconstruction, 2001-5 6 Modernization Again: The State Returns 7 Two Solitudes 8 Conclusion: Practices of Belonging 9 Afterword Appendices; Notes; References; Index

Eau Canada

The Future of Canada’s Water Edited by Karen Bakker

The Culture of Flushing

A Social and Legal History of Sewage Jamie Benidickson

Canadians love our vast and beautiful expanses of water but know next to nothing about them. Eau Canada is a myth-busting, fact-based, comprehensive collection on all facets of our water that every Canadian should own. Without the knowledge contained in this book, we could lose the right to control our water in an increasingly thirsty world. – Maude Barlow, National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians and co-author of Blue Gold

The Culture of Flushing does a fine job of comparing issues across national borders, and is one of only a very few studies that integrates English, American, and Canadian experiences.This is a very good synthesis of an important topic that should be of interest to scholars in many fields and to people in many walks of life. – Martin V. Melosi, professor of history, University of Houston, and author of Effluent America and The Sanitary City

Looking at the state of Canada’s water resources and Canadian water policy, Eau Canada gives us the facts about both, and shows what we need to do to care for this priceless resource better. Lots of surprising information. Lots of good ideas. Well written. What more could you ask for? A good book to buy. – David Cameron, Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto

Paul Kopas

Adaptive Co-Management makes a strong contribution to scholarship and to practical applications.
