| It would not be an exaggeration to state that Tina Loo has provided the field of Canadian environmental history with its most sophisticated and original interpretation of wildlife conservation to date. She draws from varied case studies that span from the dawn of the twentieth century to about the 1970s, and covers each of Canada's five regions. Loo demonstrates the often caustic intersection between state-sponsored wildlife conservation programs and the defense of the public commons as she uncovers the changing "states" of nature that existed between Canadians and animals. |
