A Book Review of George Hood's "Against the Flow: Rafferty-Alameda and the Politics of the Environment"
This book depicts the long process of planning and "selling" the construction of one of the most controversial environmental projects of recent Canadian history: the Rafferty-Alameda project in Saskatchewan. The book would, in fact, be of as much interest to political scientists and marketing researchers as to those interested in the project in terms of its impact upon the environmental geography of the West. As this review will indicate, this feature is both the book's strength and weakness in that its detailed description of the intertwining and conflicting roles of politicians, bureaucrats, farmers, environmentalists, and the media may seem overwhelming at times. However, the sad reality is that this appears to be an accurate depiction of the politics of the environment today. 5 pgs. 7 f/c. 1b.
