ISBN10: 0774812893, ISBN13: 9780774812894, [publisher: UBC Press, Vancouver] Hardcover As new, no wear. Quite clean. 'Since the early days of the fur trade, wildlife has been powerfully and inspiringly emblematic of Canada. Yet the story of saving Canada's wildlife is largely unknown. [This book] is one of the first books to trace the development of Canadian wildlife conservation from its social, political, and historical roots. While noting the influence of celebrity conservationists such as Jack Miner and Grey Owl, [the author] emphasizes the impact of ordinary people on the evolution of wildlife management in Canada. She also explores the elements leading up to the emergence of the modern environmental movement, ranging from the reliance on and practical knowledge of wildlife demonstrated by rural people to the more aloof and scientific approach of state-sponsored environmentalism.' Illustrated. xxiv+280 pages. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall
