Ecosystem management has gained widespread visibility as an
approach to the management of land to achieve sustainable natural
resource use. Despite widespread interest in this emerging
management paradigm, Ecosystems: Balancing Science with Management
is the first book to directly propose approaches for implementing
ecosystem management, give examples of viable tools, and discuss
the potential implications of implementing an ecosystem approach.
These ideas are framed in a historical context that examines the
disjunction between ecological theory, environmental legislation
and natural resources management.

Originally published in 1967. The nationalistic sentiment of French
Canada was starkly dramatized by the Montreal terrorist bombings in
the spring of 1963. Admittedly the work of extremists, that
eruption of violence was an offshoot of the profound social,
political, economic, and cultural transformation-an accelerated
evolution rather than a revolution-that Quebec has undergone since
the end of World War II. This revolution tranquille is
characterized by a new sense of self-confidence among French
Canadians, an eagerness to reject what they regard as any hint of
second-class citizenship, and a determination to take full share in
all aspects of Canadian life-without, however, sacrificing their
French culture and heritage. A threat to the Canadian Confederation
is implicit in the growing reluctance of modern French-speaking
Canadians to abide the "tyranny of the majority," however
enlightened or well-intentioned it may be. This first book-length
study in English of the conflict between French and English
Canadians provides a thorough treatment of French-Canadian
complaints against English Canada, and of their implications for
Canadian unity. Dr. Corbett devotes the first part of his study to
an analysis of the ferment within the French-speaking population of
Quebec during the postwar period. He discusses the relation between
French-Canadian nationalism and other nationalisms and the roles
played by the language barrier, the church, and the separatist
movement. In the second part of the study he considers the
political, economic, and social implications of separatism, with
particular regard to the proposals for adapting the Constitution to
Quebecois demands. After tracing the evolution of the ambivalent
English-Canadian concept of Canada's national identity, he
concludes that the future of the Confederation will depend on how
far the English majority is willing to go in meeting French
demands.
