Through a series of case studies, including the construction of the Bloor Viaduct, civic beautification plans, urban reform in “the Ward,” immigration and citizenship, and Goss’s portrait photography, Bassnett exposes how photographs were at the heart of debates over what the city should look like, how it should operate, and under what conditions it was appropriate for people to live.

Summary:
Beavers are the great comeback story—a keystone species that survived ice ages, major droughts, the fur trade, urbanization and near extinction. Their ability to create and maintain aquatic habitats has endeared them to conservationists, but puts the beavers at odds with urban and industrial expansion. Our history often celebrates our integration of environment into(...)

Beavers are the great comeback story—a keystone species that survived ice ages, major droughts, the fur trade, urbanization and near extinction. Their ability to create and maintain aquatic habitats has endeared them to conservationists, but puts the beavers at odds with urban and industrial expansion. Our history often celebrates our integration of environment into our identity, but our actions often reveal an exploitation of environment and celebration of its subjugation. Why the conflict with the beaver? It is one of the few species that refuses to play by our rules and continues to modify environments to meet its own needs and the betterment of so many other species, while at the same time showing humans that complete dominion over nature is not necessarily achievable.

Summary:
Becoming Water takes the reader on a tour of Canada’s glaciers, describing the stories they tell and educating the reader about how glaciers came to be, how they work and what their future holds in our warming world. By visiting Canada’s high and low Arctic and the mountain West, the reader will learn how varied and complex our glaciers really are, how they are measured and how they figure into the national and global story of inevitable change. The reader will learn to think like a scientist, in particular how to look at climate-related data that contains cycles, trends and shifts, and then ponder what questions to ask in the face of our dramatically changing environment. This book encourages Canadians to explore upstream from ourselves, learning about our origins and how climate change and encroaching human settlement are drastically affecting our glaciers and therefore the natural and human landscapes that lie below—and are dependent upon—them.

Summary:
Dans cet essai, Benoit Doyon-Gosselin pose un regard sur sa ville d’adoption, Moncton, « qui s’est inventée en français ». Il identifie dans son ouvrage trois Moncton interdépendants : le territoire physique, la ville telle qu’imaginée par les artistes et celle vécue par l’auteur au quotidien. « Moncton mentor : géocritique d’une ville » s’intéresse ainsi, selon une triple perspective, à la place des francophones dans cette ville bilingue devenue capitale culturelle de l’Acadie. Grâce à la géocritique, une théorie de la spatialité, Doyon-Gosselin étudie l’interaction entre les espaces et la communauté francophone et se penche sur l’impact des artistes sur le quotidien des Monctoniens. Cet essai constitue en quelque sorte le prolongement de la promenade littéraire organisée au cours des dernières années par l’auteur dans les rues de Moncton. Y sont convoquées les œuvres de maints auteurs acadiens (Gérald Leblanc, Serge Patrice Thibodeau, France Daigle, notamment), mais également celles d’auteurs ayant porté un regard sur cette ville, comme Jean-Paul Daoust.
