Seller's Description:
B&W illustrations. Fine, wraps (softcover) 174pp. ISBN 0660159805 The principal component of this volume was written by Dr. Ross Silversides and concerns the history of mechanization in forest operations in eastern Canada from the first decades of this century to the early 1980s. Complementing and contextualizing this detailed technical history is an extended essay by the forestry historian Dr. Richard Rajala. This overview provides a brief economic, social and political outline of the eastern Canadian forest industry from the early nineteenth century also to the early 1980s. Its primary intent is to document changes in markets and patterns of resource utilization, the organization of work, employment conditions and forest policy.
