After travelling through the Canadian prairies in the 1850s,
British adventurer John Palliser deemed a large portion of the
region to be a near desert and unfit for agriculture. That
reportedly disadvantaged area became known as Palliser's Triangle.
In "Defying Palliser" farmers and ranchers from southwest
Saskatchewan and southest Alberta--residents in the Palliser
Triangle--tell how they have challenged Palliser's prediction.
Incorporating the latest research on adaptive capacity and climate
change, these stories of self-reliance, inventiveness and community
solidarity reveal a remarkably resilient people who have adapted
and survived in the driest, most drought-prone climate on the
Canadian Prairies.
