States of Nature

States of Nature is one of the first books to trace the development of Canadian wildlife conservation from its social, political, and historical roots. While noting the influence of celebrity conservationists such as Jack Miner and Grey Owl, Tina Loo emphasizes the impact of ordinary people on the evolution of wildlife management in Canada. Organized around case studies, this book will appeal to specialists in environmental history, as well as in Canadian and social history.

Tina Loo is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of British Columbia
