{"product_id":"the-greater-gulf-claire-campbell-9780773558687","title":"The Greater Gulf: Essays on the Environmental History of the Gulf of St Lawrence","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe largest estuary in the world, the Gulf of St Lawrence is defined broadly by an ecology that stretches from the upper reaches of the St Lawrence River to the Gulf Stream, and by a web of influences that reach from the heart of the continent to northern Europe. For more than a millennium, the gulf's strategic location and rich marine resources have made it a destination and a gateway, a cockpit and a crossroads, and a highway and a home. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom Vinland the Good to the novels of Lucy Maud Montgomery, the Gulf has haunted the Western imagination. A transborder collaboration between Canadian and American scholars, \u003ci\u003eThe Greater Gulf \u003c\/i\u003erepresents the first concerted exploration of the environmental history - marine and terrestrial - of the Gulf of St Lawrence. Contributors tell many histories of a place that has been fished, fought over, explored, and exploited. The essays' defining themes resonate in today's charged atmosphere of quickening climate change as they recount stories of resilience played against ecological fragility, resistance at odds with accommodation, considered versus reckless exploitation, and real, imagined, and imposed identities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReconsidering perceptions about borders and the spaces between and across land and sea, \u003ci\u003eThe Greater Gulf \u003c\/i\u003edraws attention to a central place and part of North Atlantic and North American history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors include Rainer Baehre (Memorial University of Newfoundland), Jack Bouchard (Folger Institute), Claire Campbell (Bucknell University), Caitlin Charman (Memorial University of Newfoundland), Jack Little (Simon Fraser University), Edward MacDonald (University of Prince Edward Island), Matthew McKenzie (University of Connecticut), Suzanne Morton (McGill University), Brian Payne (Bridgewater State University), John G.
