It's All Happening So Fast - A Counter-History of the Modern Candadian Evironment

Más información sobre el libro

In an age of unprecedented human impact on the planet, certain countries stand out for their privileged positions and the complexity of their relationships with nature. Today, Canada's environmental record is among the poorest when compared to other wealthy nations, a fact that suggests ambivalence, and the actions of competing interests, which are most often exposed in moments of disorder and disregard for the unexpected consequences of managing the country's seemingly endless bounty. 00The 15 case studies presented here reframe Canada since 1945, and these surprising events are grounded in conversations about cultural myths and the legal environment, changing ideas of natural resources and environmental risk, indigenous engagement with environmentalism and development, and the impacts of the environmentalist movement. 00Co-published by the Canadian Centre for Architecture, ISBN 978-1-927071-44-1 (English edition) and ISBN 978-1-927071-45-8 (French edition).
