managed Annihilation<br />
an unnatural History of the newfoundland Cod Collapse<br />
Dean Bavington<br />
The Newfoundland and Labrador cod fishery<br />
was once the most successful commercial ground<br />
fishery in the world. When it collapsed in 1992,<br />
many pointed to failures in management such<br />
as uncontrolled harvesting as likely culprits.<br />
Managed Annihilation makes the case that the<br />
idea of natural resource management itself<br />
was the problem. The collapse occurred when<br />
the fisheries were state-managed and still, two<br />
decades later, there is no recovery in sight.<br />
Although the collapse raised doubts among<br />
policy-makers about their ability to understand<br />
and control nature, their ultimate goal of control<br />
through management has not wavered and has<br />
been transferred from wild fish to fishermen and<br />
farmed cod.<br />

birds of ontario: habitat requirements, limiting Factors, and status<br />
Volume 2: nonpasserines, Shorebirds through Woodpeckers<br />
Al Sandilands, Illustrations by Ross James<br />
The volumes in the Birds of Ontario series<br />
summarize life history requirements of bird<br />
species that are normally part of the ecology of<br />
Ontario. The first volume dealt with waterfowl<br />
through cranes while this volume deals with<br />
shorebirds through woodpeckers and completes<br />
the treatment of the nonpasserines. Information<br />
on habitat, limiting factors, and status are<br />
dealt with for the three main bird seasons:<br />
breeding, migration, and winter. It will be an<br />
essential reference for biologists, planners,<br />
environmental consultants, and other resource<br />
professionals involved in environmental issues<br />
and management pertaining to birds. It will also<br />
be a valuable reference for serious birders.<br />
Al sANDilANDs is an environmental<br />
consultant employed by his own firm, Gray Owl<br />
Environmental Inc. His formal learning focused<br />
on fisheries and aquatic entomology but, through<br />
his long-time interest in birds, he evolved into a<br />
wildlife biologist. ross JAmEs, an ornithologist<br />
by profession, has pursued bird illustration for<br />
more than forty years.<br />

rediscovering Thomas Adams<br />
rural Planning and development in Canada<br />
Edited by Wayne Caldwell<br />
Suburbanization, affordable housing, mass<br />
transportation, loss of fertile lands – these are<br />
modern problems, yet they are not new. Thomas<br />
Adams grappled with these same issues nearly<br />
a century ago, when he wrote Rural Planning<br />
and Development, a book that quickly became<br />
Canada’s planning bible. Reprinted for the first<br />
time and updated with commentaries by leading<br />
Canadian planners, this book highlights Adams’<br />
influence on the planning profession and the<br />
continued relevance of his comprehensive vision<br />
for planning – to move beyond the demands of<br />
the moment to embrace long-term strategies<br />
for building stronger rural communities.<br />
