Coasts Under Stress
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
A unique interdisciplinary analysis of the social and environmental forces affecting local communities on Canada's east and west coasts. While often surrounded by undeniable beauty, many coastal communities suffer from poverty, unemployment, health risks, and the effects of environmental degradation. 'Coasts under Stress' is an interdisciplinary exploration of the complex interplay of economy, culture, health, and the environment in Canada's coastal communities. Rosemary Ommer and her project team combine formal scientific (natural and social) and humanist analysis with an examination of the lived experience of coastal people to analyse community erosion created by economic decline and the ecosystem damage caused by unrelenting pressure on natural resources. In examining coastal community histories, resource bases, and economies they reveal how people's lives are embedded in their environments. 'Coasts Under Stress' voices the determination of coastal people to survive in the places they love and stresses the need for investment to encourage the recovery of coastal communities. Very good unmarked copy.
