Book Description:
|
Saskatchewan is the anchor and epitome of the "prairie" provinces, even though half of the province is covered by boreal forest. Forest Prairie Edge is a deep-time investigation of the edge land, or ecotone, between the open prairies and boreal forest region of Saskatchewan. Using place history and edge theory, Massie offers a refreshing new perspective that overturns long-held assumptions of the prairies and the Canadian west.
