Tracing a path from the Ice Age to the Anthropocene, some of the foremost stars in the field of environmental history reflect on how Canadians have idolized and found inspiration in nature even as fishers, fur traders, farmers, foresters, miners, and city planners have commodified it or tried to tame it. Their insights are just what is needed as Canada attempts to reconcile the opposing goals of prosperity and preservation.

Summary:
Like the flute melody from ''Hinterland Who's Who,'' the 1970s haunt Canadian cultural memory. Though the decade often feels lost to history, ''Hinterland Remixed'' focuses on boldly innovative works as well as popular film, television, and music to show that Canada never fully left the 1970s behind. Andrew Burke reveals how contemporary artists and filmmakers have revisited the era's cinematic and televisual residues to uncover what has been lost over the years. Investigating how the traces of an analogue past circulate in a digital age, Burke digs through the remnants of 1970s Canadiana and examines key audiovisual works from this overlooked decade, uncovering the period's aspirations, desires, fears, and anxieties. He then looks to contemporary projects that remix, remediate, and reanimate the period. Exploring an idiosyncratic selection of works, this book asks key questions about nation, nostalgia, media, and memory.

Janis Thiessen profiles several iconic Canadian snack food companies, including Old Dutch Potato Chips, Hawkins Cheezies, and chocolate maker Ganong. These companies have developed in distinctive ways, reflecting the unique stories of their founders and their intense connection to specific locations. These stories of salty or sweet confections also reveal a history that is at odds with popular notions of ''junk food.'' Through extensive oral history and archival research, Thiessen uncovers the roots of our deep loyalties to different snack foods, what it means to be an independent snack food producer, and the often-quirky ways snacks have been created and marketed.

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.
