For the Love of Nature
by Martin J. Hollenberg
In the early years of the twentieth century, the wonderful world of British mammals that existed then was recorded for succeeding generations by Gerald Barrett-Hamilton, Irish naturalist, zoologist and writer and Edward Adrian Wilson, English explorer, physician and artist of nature. The work of both men was truly outstanding, especially when it was brought together in the book, A History of British Mammals. Tragically, both men died young and the book was never completed. Yet enough was done to place it among the all-time classics of naturalist literature.
In For the Love of Nature, Martin Hollenberg has placed in perspective the lives and work of these two great naturalists and has refashioned key parts of A History of British Mammals for a general readership. For the first time, a large number of Edward Wilson’s detailed and vivid mammal portraits are presented next to Barrett-Hamilton’s wonderful descriptions of the same animals. In addition, Barrett-Hamilton’s South Georgia journal is published here for the first time revealing some of his perceptive observations of nature. The result is an exceptional book that displays all the vigour, life and colour of the natural world as it was then—still largely unthreatened and close to its best.

The Canadian Dairy Commission: A 40-Year Retrospective
La Commission canadienne du lait : 40 ans d'histoire
by Erin Scullion
The history of the Canadian Dairy Commission reflects changes and crises in contemporary Canadian political history, and of course throws in a few moments of its own high drama! Decade by decade, this book chronicles sweeping changes in the production and uses of milk, from the CDC’s founding in the 1960s, through the building of supply management in the 1970s, negotiating the National Milk Marketing Plan during the 1980s, facing the changes brought to world agricultural markets by NAFTA and GATT in the 1990s, to the loss of the WTO appeal process and emerging marketing challenges in the first decade of the new millennium.
L’histoire de la Commission canadienne du lait s’inscrit dans les grands mouvements qui caractérisent l’histoire politique contemporaine du Canada et de ce fait, est ponctuée d’événements hauts en couleur. Une décennie à la fois, cet ouvrage raconte les grands changements qui ont transformé la production et l’utilisation du lait. De la fondation de la CCL dans les années 1960 aux défis de la mise en marché en ce début de millénaire, ce livre raconte la mise en œuvre de la gestion de l’offre au cours des années 1970, la négociation du Plan national de mise en marché du lait dans les années 1980, les bouleversements des marchés agricoles mondiaux dans les années 1990 sous l’influence de l’ALÉNA et du GATT et l’échec de la dernière procédure d’appel auprès de l’OMC.
