'The book is a rigorously detailed and conceptually nimble work that asks challenging questions about how to think about nature in order to defend it.' --Nate Prier, Alternatives Journal vol 39:05:2013 "The Oak Ridges Moraine Battlesis the definitive book on this important chapter in Ontario environmental politics. The authors provide a wealth of detail and analysis of an interesting story that is significant not only locally and regionally, but also nationally, and to a certain extent, internationally. As an examination of the politics of suburban and exurban development in the Greater Toronto Region, this book is unlikely to be surpassed for some time."--André Sorensen, Chair, Department of Human Geography, University of Toronto, Scarborough "The Oak Ridges Moraine Battlesis a rare and superb model of the application of a critical political ecology approach to the analysis of land use conflict - work of such depth and temporal breadth is unusual, particularly in Canadian environmental studies. The authors do a wonderful job of mining the riches of this case study and grounding it in solid empirical research."--Laurie E. Adkin, Department of Political Science, University of Alberta.
