Description

Author Barry Potyondi offers a detailed look at the relationship between people and the evolving prairie environment. This is a portrait of how westerners deliberately changed the grasslands of southwestern Saskatchewan and how it, in turn, helped to shape their lives. Amongst other questions Potyondi asks is: should the Grasslands have been farmed at all?

Editorial Reviews

Those who believe that only by studying the past will we avoid making the same old mistakes will feel justified by Potyondi's book ... It is also a sad commentary on the swiftness with which irreversible environmental change can occur.
