This collection highlights three quintessentially Canadian themes: seasonality, links between mobility and natural resource development, and urbanites’ experiences of the environment through mobility. It divides the intersection of environmental and mobility history into two approaches. The chapters in the first section deal primarily with the construction and productive use of mobility technologies and infrastructure, as well as their environmental constraints and consequences. The chapters in the second section focus on consumers’ uses of those vehicles and pathways: on pleasure travel, tourism, and recreational mobility.

This collection contributes a sustained analysis of the beginning of major Canadian environmental debates between the 1960s and 1980s, and examines a range of issues related to broad environmental concerns, topics which emerged as key concerns in the context of Cold War military investments and experiments, the oil crisis of the 1970s, debates over gendered roles, and the increasing attention to urban pollution and pesticide use.

This Austin Earth First! publication titled “End Corporate Dominance!” features topics like the menace of the Endangered Species Act, the global gathering of indigenous people fighting the oil industry, Mexican Zapatismo, Austin’s transportation and land use infrastructure, Freeport McMoran mining in West Papua, Indonesia, and the children’s march to save Sierra Blanca.
