Paperback. Condición: New. The Government of Natural Resources explores scientific and technical activity in Quebec from Confederation until the eve of the Second World War. Scientific and technical personnel are an often quiet presence within the state, but they play an integral role.At the turn of the twentieth century, the provincial government created geology, forestry, fishery, and agronomy services.

The lessons that this thoughtful reconceptualization of resource development offers reach well beyond provincial borders.…
