Too often, the ideas and practices of professional foresters have
beenviewed as monolithic. This book argues that forestry is a more
diverseand complex activity than has been generally recognized. It
alsounderlines the political character of the profession.
Difference liesat the root of politics, and Nova Scotia forestry
has been punctuatedby fundamental debates on matters of science,
policy, and management.In different ways, the subjects of this
volume all have run"against the grain," raising challenges in
pursuit of newforestry practice. Many of their challenges have
failed, in the face ofa determined consensus. Nonetheless, the
plurality of views andexperiences they reveal are an apt reflection
of the inherentlypolitical character of modern forestry and of the
need to push beyondappearance to find the foundations of both
orthodoxy and dissent.
The extraction of oil and gas from offshore continental shelves
constitutes one of the most dynamic sectors of global petroleum
development. It is also one of the most complex. Atlantic Canada is
no exception, and the history of Scotian Basin petroleum over the
past half century reveals a fascinating series of political
challenges, accommodations, and settlements. Peter Clancy's
comprehensive analysis of petroleum politics in Nova Scotia
demonstrates the complex intergovernmental and intercorporate
relationships, ecological concerns, and Aboriginal interests that
have complicated offshore development. His incisive analysis of the
complex politics at play provides new insights into the unique
challenges facing the petroleum industry in Atlantic Canada.
