Produktbeschreibung

"""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.
