This excellent collection should be seen as an initial step towards
the refinement of mobility as a historical concept and a greater
unpacking of mobility histories. - Alan Gordan, The Journal of
Transport History
Moving Natures is a welcome intervention in several fields that
engage with Canadaâs size, including environmental history,
mobility studies, science and technology studies, and Canadian
social and cultural history. Here, dominant narratives of
transportation networks as annihilators of Canadian distances are
complicated and decentralized by prying open the black boxes of
mobility studies and environmental history with the crowbars of the
other... The result is a well-rounded set of twelve
interdisciplinary stories that address both the impact of mobility
networks on the environment as well as changing perceptions of the
environment when viewed from different transportation platforms. -
Blair Stein, Scientia Canadensis
Moving Natures presents an engaging and thought-provoking
introduction to the potential of reimagining the interconnected
roles of mobility and the environment in Canadian History - J.L.
Weller, BC Studies
This collection puts older themes in a new light, works outside of
a nationalist perspective, and offers close readings of cases to
make larger observations... Many historical geographers and
environmental historians will find a great deal of interest within
these pages, and the basis for fruitful comparisons with other
cases and places. - Matthew Evenden, Journal of Historical
Geography
