This book examines the various practices—social, discursive, and political—through which Canada’s West Coast forests have been given meaning and made the site of intense political and ideological struggle. It traces the way West Coast landscapes have been viewed and controlled by explorers, foresters, environmentalists, artists, scientists, adventure travelers, and Indigenous peoples. In particular it covers the 1993 Clayoquot Sound protests. Partially available online through university e-proxy.
