Summary:
Intended to delight and provoke, these short essays, enlivened with photos and illustrations, explore how humans have engaged with the Canadian environment and what those interactions say about the nature of Canada. 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:
The last place anyone would look for Nature would probably be inside a bus.

The BosBus, an ordinary city bus with a growing forest inside it, traveled the streets of Rotterdam, hosting debates and dialogues en route, as architects, city(...)

The last place anyone would look for Nature would probably be inside a bus. Yet, as this charming book proves, that’s where you could find it - at least during the International Architecture Biennale 2003. The BosBus, an ordinary city bus with a growing forest inside it, traveled the streets of Rotterdam, hosting debates and dialogues en route, as architects, city planners, ecologists and biologists hammered out the relationship between culture and nature in and around the city.

Summary:
In ''The nature of space,'' pioneering Afro-Brazilian geographer Milton Santos attends to globalization writ large and how local and global orders intersect in the construction of space. Santos offers a theory of human space based on relationships between time and ontology. He argues that when geographers consider the inseparability of time and space, they can then transcend fragmented realities and partial truths without trying to theorize their way around them. Based on these premises, Santos examines the role of space, which he defines as indissoluble systems of objects and systems of actions in social processes, while providing a geographic contribution to the production of a critical social theory.
