Book Review

Marshlands: Four Centuries of Environmental Change on the Shores of the St. Lawrence. By Matthew G. Hatvany. Sainte-Foy, Québec: Les Presses de l'Université Laval, 2003. 184 pp. xxi + 184 pp. Illustrations, maps, and bibliography. $25.00.

Written where environmental history and historical geography intersect, this is a compact, useful study of the changing human use of the salt marshes along the lower St. Lawrence River. It describes the uses of the marshes by Aboriginal peoples, colonists, and agricultural improvers; situates major developments on the St. Lawrence marshes in relation to developments elsewhere; and provides an example in a single study of the successful combination of ecology, history, and geography.
