By probing the remains of Alberta's past sacrifices (reading the entrails), the author believes we might dimly see an apparition of Alberta's future. This controversial book vividly portrays the history of land and life in Alberta from the Ice Ages to the present. Making no apologies for his criticism of government, regulators, and large corporations, Conrad aims to strike a discussion at all levels by presenting his arguments intensely. For those interested in natural history, the environment, and the future of Alberta's ecological resources, this provocative book is essential reading.Biography & True StoriesbicsscEnvironmental economicsbicsscBiography & True StoriesEnvironmental economicsCharles Conrad Normanedt1300240Charles Conrad NormanothBOOK9910141751103321Reading the Entrails3025479UNINA
