Notes

A collection of seventeen interrelated essays examining the transformation of the Western Canadian prairie under industrial agriculture and resource extraction. Drawing on his training in agronomy and plant ecology, Gayton interprets the prairie as both an ecological system and a cultural construct, arguing that it has become one of the most thoroughly modified landscapes on the continent.

Fully referenced, the work reflects Gayton’s professional experience as a ranch hand, range manager, soil assessor, and forage specialist.
