Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the oldest metropolitan areas in North America, Montreal has evolved from a remote fur-trading post in New France into an international center for services and technology. A city and an island located at the confluence of the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Rivers, it is uniquely situated to serve as an international port while also providing rail access to the Canadian interior. The historic capital of the Province of Canada, once Canada's foremost metropolis, Montreal has a multifaceted cultural heritage drawn from European and North American influences. Thanks to its rich past, the city offers an ideal setting for the study of an evolving urban environment. Metropolitan Natures presents original histories of the diverse environments that constitute Montreal and it region. It explores the agricultural and industrial transformation of the metropolitan area, the interaction of city and hinterland, and the interplay of humans and nature. The fourteen chapters cover a wide range of issues, from landscape representations during the colonial era to urban encroachments on the Kahnawake Mohawk reservation on the south shore of the island, from the 1918-1920 Spanish flu epidemic and its ensuing human environmental modifications to the urban sprawl characteristic of North America during the postwar period. Situations that politicize the environment are discussed as well, including the economic and class dynamics of flood relief, highways built to facilitate recreational access for the middle class, power-generating facilities that invade pristine rural areas, and the elitist environmental hegemony of fox hunting. Additional chapters examine human attempts to control the urban environment through street planning, waterway construction, water supply, and sewerage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Terra Nostra is a celebration of the mapping of Canada-for Library and Archives Canada, it is also a celebration and a sharing of the extraordinary historical resource that is contained in its cartographic holdings. The collection spans an incredible array of mapping initiatives, from the portolan charts of the early explorers, to recent aerial images of east coast ice floes." "Canada's maps have been many things to many people: for early merchant-adventurers, they promised fame and fortune; for army commanders, they strengthened their hold on the land; for politicians, they legitimized their dominion over the country; for businessmen, they proclaimed their sense of community pride; and for ordinary citizens, they were testaments to the type of communities they wanted for their children. As repositories of intellectual thought, Canada's maps provide evidence of our nation's technical accomplishments and offer insight into the growth of our geographical knowledge. They are windows on our view of the world. Book jacket."--Jacket.
