The Canadian Environment in Political Context, Second Edition
University of Toronto Press (Verlag)
978-1-4875-7036-1 (ISBN)
The Canadian Environment in Political Context uses a non-technical approach to introduce environmental politics to undergraduate readers. The second edition features expanded chapters on wildlife, water, pollution, land, and energy.
Beginning with a brief synopsis of environmental quality across Canada, the text moves on to examine political institutions and policymaking, the history of environmentalism in Canada, and other crucial issues including Indigenous peoples and the environment, as well as Canada’s North. Enhanced with case studies, key words, and a comprehensive glossary, Olive's book addresses the major environmental concerns and challenges that Canada faces in the twenty-first century.
Andrea Olive is a professor of political science and geography, geomatics, and environment at the University of Toronto, Mississauga.
