Download or read book Time and a Place written by Edward MacDonald and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its long and well-documented history, Prince Edward Island makes a compelling case study for thousands of years of human interaction with a specific ecosystem. The pastoral landscapes, red sandstone cliffs, and small fishing villages of Canada’s “garden province” are appealing because they appear timeless, but they are as culturally constructed as they are shaped by the ebb and flow of the tides. Bringing together experts from a multitude of disciplines, the essays in Time and a Place explore the island’s marine and terrestrial environment from its prehistory to its recent past. Beginning with PEI’s history as a blank slate – a land scraped by ice and then surrounded by rising seas – this mosaic of essays documents the arrival of flora, fauna, and humans, and the different ways these inhabitants have lived in this place over time. The collection offers policy insights for the province while also informing broader questions about the value of islands and other geographically bounded spaces for the study of environmental history and the crafting of global sustainability. Putting PEI at the forefront of Canadian environmental history, Time and a Place is a remarkable accomplishment that will be eagerly received and read by historians, geographers, scholars of Canadian and island studies, and environmentalists.

The book presents images of iconic landscapes on Prince Edward Island, and traces how those communities and natural ecosystems have changed over 85 years (1935-2020). Each site history illustrates and reflects on the nature of modern land use and land cover change in one of four chapters organized around primary resource economies, rural communities, urban development, and islands and coastal change. Time Flies offers a visually rich discussion of one island as the world and offers lessons that we can learn from the social and ecological transformation of PEI.

Book A Floral Inventory of the Western Area  Greenwich  Prince Edward Island National Park

Download or read book A Floral Inventory of the Western Area Greenwich Prince Edward Island National Park written by Kate MacQuarrie and published by [Halifax, N.S.] : Parks Canada. This book was released on 1999 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report begins with an introduction on the ecological significance of an area located at the tip of the Greenwich Peninsula, Prince Edward Island National Park, along with its cultural history and a review of previous field studies of the area's plants. It then reviews materials & methods used in an inventory of vascular plants conducted in that area in summer 1998. The 293 species identified are inventoried for the following habitats found in the study area: sand dunes, forest, old agricultural fields, wetlands, and shorelines. For each habitat, information is provided on habitat characteristics, species diversity and abundance, floral status and origin, and plants not previously recorded in the province. The subsequent sections provide further detail on flora found for the first time in the province or in the study area; note species not found in the 1998 survey that were found in earlier surveys; discuss overall floral status, origin, and diversity; and suggest indicator species for monitoring ecological integrity of the study area. The concluding section makes recommendations for park zoning, protection of rare plants, park interpretation facilities, and further research. Appendices include species lists.
