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 \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\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations and Tables\u003cbr\u003eList of Maps\u003cbr\u003eList of Boxes\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
