Discussion of contemporary issues often overlooks the rural component of Canadian society. The sixteen chapters written specifically for Rural Sociology in Canada emphasize the diversity of rural Canada and its farming, fishing, and northern resource communities-in conjunction with such issues as the impact of modern technologies on rural industries, populations, and communities, the environmental crisis in relation to agriculture practices and technologies, and the impact of the Free Trade Agreement on rural industries. The book is oriented to undergraduate and graduate students studying rural sociology, as well as appealing to a wider audience interested in rural life in Canada today.
