Talk and Log: Wilderness Politics in British Columbia

by Jeremy Wilson

For more than three decades, British Columbia's old growth forests have been a major source of political conflict. In Talk and Log , Jeremy Wilson presents a comprehensive account of the rise of the wilderness movement, examines the forest industry's political strategies, and analyzes the inner workings of the policy process. He illuminates the forces behind controveries that have divided British Columbians, preoccupied the provincial government, and drawn the attention of people across Canada and the world. By discussing the patterns and trends underlying the past three decades of wilderness politics, Wilson identifies the currents likely to dominate B.C. wilderness debates in decades to come.
