This excellent collection should be seen as an initial step towards the refinement of mobility as a historical concept and a greater unpacking of mobility histories. - Alan Gordan, The Journal of Transport History Moving Natures is a welcome intervention in several fields that engage with Canadaas size, including environmental history, mobility studies, science and technology studies, and Canadian social and cultural history. Here, dominant narratives of transportation networks as annihilators of Canadian distances are complicated and decentralized by prying open the black boxes of mobility studies and environmental history with the crowbars of the other... The result is a well-rounded set of twelve interdisciplinary stories that address both the impact of mobility networks on the environment as well as changing perceptions of the environment when viewed from different transportation platforms. - Blair Stein, Scientia Canadensis Moving Natures presents an engaging and thought-provoking introduction to the potential of reimagining the interconnected roles of mobility and the environment in Canadian History - J.L. Weller, BC Studies

Weller, BC Studies This collection puts older themes in a new light, works outside of a nationalist perspective, and offers close readings of cases to make larger observations... Many historical geographers and environmental historians will find a great deal of interest within these pages, and the basis for fruitful comparisons with other cases and places. - Matthew Evenden, Journal of Historical Geography
