Shaped by the West Wind: Nature and History in Georgian Bay. By Claire Elizabeth Campbell. Vancouver and Toronto: UBC Press, 2005. xx + 282 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, and index. Cloth $85.00, paper $29.95.

In Shaped by the West Wind: Nature and History in Georgian Bay, historian Claire Elizabeth Campbell (Dalhousie University) offers a reflective account of the interactions between human and nonhuman forces along the Thirty Thousand Islands, a rocky archipelago that forms the east shore of Georgian Bay. Extending north from Lake Huron, the Bay is big enough to qualify as a sixth great lake, though it has not been accepted as such. Campbell makes a parallel argument for the history of the region: this is a place of unrecognized significance, one possessed of a history that is important not only in itself, but also for how it sheds light on broader issues, such as the considerable challenge of managing human usage of so-called wilderness and the enduring question of how nature has figured in what Campbell terms "the Canadian experience."
