Reviews

Fred Langdon Award awarded by Ontario Historical Society -- 01 CA Michael Ondaatje would enjoy this beautiful history of Toronto's Don valley: it explores a place he drew on for his own work and it shares his novels' intensity of imagery. -- Gideon Forman This Magazine (March/April 2015) 'One of Bonnell's most intriguing innovations is her blending of the social history of the valley with its environmental history... Her analysis and approach to the environmental history of this river valley helps us to see the extent to which humanity is implicated in the history of this space and how that history influences environmental change.' -- Sean Kheraj Journal of Historical Geography vol 30:1-2:2015 'Jennifer Bonnell explains in her interesting and well-researched study, there is much more to the story of Toronto's river... The Don offers a path through the city's environmental history, while hinting at how the city might finally come to terms with its own environment. It is a trip, and advice, worth taking.' -- Stephen Bocking Canadian Historical Review vol 96:03:2015
