In 1998, biologists and endangered species experts met at an international symposium on swift foxes held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, to exchange information and identify the state-of-the-science of swift fox ecology and status in North America. Papers presented at the symposium, together with other written afterwards, are brought together in this peer-reviewed volume.

This book, which arose from a graduate seminar in Maritime history in 1991-92, offers the first systematic and comparative overview of community development for the entire Atlantic region. The book assesses the published census returns from Confederation to the present to track the growth and development of each town and city in the region, and surveys aspects of the region's political economy since Confederation, paying close attention to the rise and fall of an industrial core and the emergent dependencies that were being reshaped by the expanding of government in determining the fate of Atlantic Canada. A typology of community experiences is followed by a reflection on the consequences for the contemporary urban scene of political and economic transformation.
