Book Review

The Politics of Development: Forests, Mines & Hydro-Electric Power in Ontario, 1849–1941. By H.V. Nelles. Montreal and Kingston: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2005 [1974]. xxxi + 514 pp. Note on Sources, Index. Paper $29.95.

The recent reissue of The Politics of Development (with new introductions by the author and Robert Young) offers the chance to reflect on the enduring influence of the original work and consider some of the intellectual roots of environmental history in Canada. After all, not only has The Politics of Development become a staple of course readings and comprehensives lists for at least a couple of generations of Canadian historians, the author has gone on to a decorated career as an author and teacher. H. V. Nelles is not only a two-time winner of the Sir John A. Macdonald Prize for best book in Canadian history, but also the supervisor of two winners of the ASEH's Rachel Carson Prize for best dissertation in environmental history.
