Clearcutting the Pacific Rain Forest Rajala’s title is a good summary of the book’s intention: a history of clearcutting. The approach is from the left viewing modern forestry as a (Fordist) factory regime. Technological changes in felling, yarding and transport are products of corporations trying to reduce labour costs. The innovations required managerial, scientific and regulatory accommodations. The state or province was unable to effectively regulate its major revenue source. A hopeful ending is that workers and environmentalist will recognize their common enemy and combine for true sustainability. |

Trading
Beyond the Mountains The British Fur
Trade on the Pacific 1793-1843 Richard Somerset Mackie (1997) Mackie’s story is how the workings of the fur trade created a new Pacific coast economy. My purpose in reviewing it is to ask specifically about changes in the North Coast area. How an area fur trade dominated by “Boston Men” was so quickly transformed into HBC (Hudson Bay Company) territory dominated by Fort Simpson and the steamship Beaver. |
