Moving Natures - Mobility and Environment in Canadian History

Klappentext """Moving Natures"" shows "how "mobility " "the "movements "of "people, "things "and "ideas, "as "well "as "their "associated "cultural "meanings " "has "been "a "key "factor "in "shaping "Canadians' "perceptions "of "and "interactions "with "their "country. "Approaching "the "burgeoning "field "of "environmental "history "in "Canada "through "the "lens "of "mobility "reveals "some "of "the "distinctive "ways "in "which "Canadians "have "come "to "terms "with "the "country's "climate "and "landscape.The "collection "spans "Canada's "diverse "regions over a broad timespan, "from "the "closing "of "the "age "of "sail "in "the "late "nineteenth "century "to "the "contemporary "era "of "Walmart "and "just-in-time "delivery. "Chapter topics range from "the "impact "of "seasonal "climactic "conditions "on "different "transportation "modes, "to "the "environmental "consequences "of "building "mobility "corridors "and "pathways, "and "the "relationship "between "changing "forms "of "mobility "with "tourism "and "other "recreational "activities. "The "contributors "employ "traditional "archival "sources "as "well "as "historical "geographic "information "systems "(HGIS), "qualitative "and "quantitative "analysis "and "critical "theory.
