|
| This volume, eighth in ABC-CLIO's Nature and Human Societies Series, represents the first attempt at a narrative sur-vey of the environmental history of the northern half of North America (essentially Canada and Alaska). The author, a well-respected historical geographer at the University of British Columbia, has been an important contributor to the field for over twenty five years, and one of the most active and generous supporters of young environ-mental historians in Canada. This book is a valuable source book for researchers and teachers in the field, but for a general audience or for univer-sity students, it is an unsatis-factory introduction to environmental history. |
