The book examines how particular ecosystem components come to be understood as natural resources and how these resources in turn are used to organize life in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn tracing transitions from \"ecosystem component\" to \"resource,\" this book weaves together the roles that commodification, Indigenous dispossession, and especially a false nature-society binary play in facilitating the conceptual and material construction of resources. Alice Cohen and Andrew Biro present an alternative to this false nature-society binary: one that sees Canadians and their environments in a constant process of making and remaking each other. Through a series of case studies focused on specific resources - fish, forests, carbon, water, land, and life - the book explores six channels through which this remaking occurs: governments, communities, built environments, culture and ideas, economies, and bodies and identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately, \u003ci\u003eOrganizing Nature\u003c\/i\u003e encourages readers to think critically about what is at stake when Canadians (re)produce myths about the false separation between Canadian peoples and their environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Cohen, Andrew Biro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487594844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487594848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Alice Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44066027503871,"sku":"9781487594848","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a255b6c9-85b8-454b-a7b6-dad6e9a87cf4.jpg?v=1685404919","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/organizing-nature-alice-cohen-9781487594848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
