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

The first volume dealt with waterfowl through cranes while this volume deals with shorebirds through woodpeckers and completes the treatment of the nonpasserines. Information on habitat, limiting factors, and status are dealt with for the three main bird seasons: breeding, migration, and winter. It will be an essential reference for biologists, planners, environmental consultants, and other resource professionals involved in environmental issues and management pertaining to birds. It will also be a valuable reference for serious birders. Al sANDilANDs is an environmental consultant employed by his own firm, Gray Owl Environmental Inc. His formal learning focused on fisheries and aquatic entomology but, through his long-time interest in birds, he evolved into a wildlife biologist. ross JAmEs, an ornithologist by profession, has pursued bird illustration for more than forty years. recently released June 2010 , 392 pages, 8 x 10 " 80 maps, 84 drawings of birds 978-0-7748-1762-2 hC $95.00 978-0-7748-1764-6 librAry E-book Ornithology , Natural History urBan studies & PlanninG rediscovering Thomas Adams rural Planning and development in Canada Edited by Wayne Caldwell Suburbanization, affordable housing, mass transportation, loss of fertile lands – these are modern problems, yet they are not new. Thomas Adams grappled with these same issues nearly a century ago, when he wrote Rural Planning and Development, a book that quickly became Canada’s planning bible. Reprinted for the first time and updated with commentaries by leading Canadian planners, this book highlights Adams’ influence on the planning profession and the continued relevance of his comprehensive vision for planning – to move beyond the demands of the moment to embrace long-term strategies for building stronger rural communities.

urBan studies & PlanninG perverse Cities Hidden Subsidies, Wonky Policy, and urban Sprawl Pamela Blais Urban sprawl – low-density subdivisions and business parks, big box stores and mega-malls – has increasingly come to define city growth despite decades of planning and policy. In Perverse Cities , Pamela Blais argues that flawed public policies and mis-pricing create hidden, “perverse” subsidies and incentives that promote sprawl while discouraging more efficient and sustainable urban forms – clearly not what most planners and environmentalists have in mind. She makes the case for accurate pricing and better policy to curb sprawl and shows how this can be achieved in practice through a range of market-oriented tools that promote efficient, sustainable cities. pAmElA blAis is a city planner and principal of Toronto-based Metropole Consultants. recently released November 2010 , 294 pages, 6 x 9 " 2 graphs, 8 tables 978-0-7748-1895-7 hC $85.00 978-0-7748-1897-1 librAry E-book Urban Studies & Planning , Canadian Urban & Regional Politics , Sociology urBan studies & PlanninG sex and the revitalized City Gender, Condominium development, and urban Citizenship Leslie Kern When a recent wave of condominium development overtook Toronto, women emerged as powerful consumers, and reports claimed that home ownership was offering young, single women freedom, financial independence, and personal security. Sex and the Revitalized City examines the truth of these claims by exploring the phenomenon from the perspective of women condo owners and planners and developers. This fresh perspective on urban revitalization reveals that condo ownership is not freeing women from constraints – neoliberal ideologies are remaking women’s relationship with the city in the image of fast capital and consumer citizenship. Women’s emancipation through condominium ownership is a marketing ploy rather than a major shift in gender relations. lEsliE kErN is an assistant professor of women’s studies at Mount Allison University. neW in PaPerBacK January 2011 , 224 pages, 6 x 9 " 13 b&w photos 978-0-7748-1822-3 hC $85.00 978-0-7748-1823-0 pb $32.95 978-0-7748-1824-7 librAry E-book Urban Studies & Planning , Women’s Studies , Sociology of Gender urBan studies & PlanninG reconstructing kobe the Geography of Crisis and opportunity David W. Edgington The Hanshin Earthquake was the largest disaster to affect postwar Japan and one of the most destructive postwar natural disasters to strike a developed country. Although the media focused on the disaster’s immediate effects, the longterm reconstruction efforts have gone largely unexplored. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, David Edgington records the first ten years of reconstruction and recovery and asks whether planners successfully exploited opportunities to make a more sustainable and disaster-proof city. This book presents an intricate investigation of one of the largest redevelopment projects in recent memory. DAViD W.
