Killing Bugs for Business and Beauty examines the beginning of
Canada's aerial war against forest insects and how a tiny handful
of officials came to lead the world with a made-in-Canada solution
to the problem. Shedding light on a largely forgotten chapter in
Canadian environmental history, Mark Kuhlberg explores the theme of
nature and its agency. The book highlights the shared impulses that
often drove both the harvesters and the preservers of trees, and
the acute dangers inherent in allowing emotional appeals instead of
logic to drive environmental policy-making. It addresses both
inter-governmental and intra-governmental relations, as well as
pressure politics and lobbying. Including fascinating tales from
Cape Breton Island, Muskoka, and Stanley Park, Killing Bugs for
Business and Beauty clearly demonstrates how class, region, and
commercial interests intersected to determine the location and
timing of aerial bombings. At the core of this book about killing
bugs is a story, infused with innovation and heroism, of the
various conflicts that complicate how we worship wilderness.
