Book Description
“This thoroughly referenced book reveals the importance of the development of forest resources to Canadian social and economic existence. Rather than presenting just a compilation of facts and figures, the authors synthesize the information to make interesting observations. History is revealed as a series of interactive movements by various industrial, social, and political groups. ... Highly recommended for college and university collections that include forest history, forest policy, Canadian history, and conservation history.”–Choice “Lost Initiatives surveys Canadian forestry policy since the early nineteenth century, and particularly between the second American Forestry Congress, held in Montreal in 1882, and 1939. The authors achieve a Canada-wide perspective by including separate chapters on New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia, and offering an extensive account of federal forestry policy. The latter, which derives from archival research, is the most original of the book's contributions. . . Indeed, the book has considerable relevance to those interested in the development of professions in Canada. . . the book can be warmly recommended as a well-documented, genuinely national study that provides numerous points of departure and of context, whether for a comprehensive history of Canadian forests and forest policy or for analyses of parts of a very large subject. And the eloquent concluding chapter, on the last forty years of forest policy, could well serve as a call to arms even for those not persuaded that the previous chapters tell the real story of how we got here.”–The Canadian Historical Review

Canada's Forests
Author: Ken DrushkaPublisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773571698
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Ken Drushka analyses the changes in human attitudes towards the forests, detailing the rise of the late nineteenth-century conservation movement and its subsequent decline after World War I, the interplay between industry and government in the development of policy, the adoption of sustained yield policies after World War II, and the recent adoption of sustainable forest management in response to environmental concerns. Drushka argues that, despite the centuries of use, the Canadian forest retains a good deal of its vitality and integrity. Written in accessible language and aimed at a general readership, Canada's Forests will be a must-read for anyone interested in the debate about the current and future uses of this precious natural resource.

Book Description
Canada's forests are one of its most important natural resources. Since the arrival of the earliet settlers, the forests have played a major role in the country's development, supplying the raw material for the necessities of life and for much of our industry. Completely revised and expanded, this edition of Canadian Woods is a comprehensive overview of a multi-faceted forest industry. Providing a complete review of the woods found in Canada and their commercial uses, it discusses the structure, the strength and physical properties, and the chemistry of wood, plus lumber production, wood drying, ood protection, and glues and gluing. Other chapters deal with the processing and use of woods and wood products, panel products, houses and structures, pulp and paper, and codes and standards in Canada. Lavishly illustrated with moer than 280 photographs and drawings, the newly revised Canadian Woods is an essential reference for students and practitioners in the forest professions and in primary and secondary forest industries.
