- Abstract
- Explore the first fiction series about Canada's National Parks. Jasper Wild is the third story in the Dyed in the Green mystery series about the challenges facing our contry's special places, and the people working tirelessly to protect these national treasures. After helping scuttle plans to slaughter Wood Buffalo National Park's entire bison population, Ben Matthews and Kate Jones end up in Jasper. Distracted by rumours of a new mine on the park's boundary, Ben and Kate help uncover a plot to build a backcountry lodge in Jasper's wilderness, leaving no stone unturned to stop an international mining giant who conspires with government politicians and Parks management to carve off a piece of the park for himself.

- Abstract
- "....documenting the effect of industrialization on the environment, Burtynsky provokes his viewers to contemplate the world he shoots. Published in conjunction with the first major retrospective of Burtynsky's work, this book requires more than a quick flip through the pages. At first one is dazzled by the color and apparent fluidity in the landscapes that he captures, but on deeper examination one begins to realize that these are quarry mines, oil refining factories, and recycling centers. Not your typical coffee-table book, this comes with a social and environmental message that should not be ignored. Essays by three curator/critics and an interview with the artist complement the 64 large-scale color images. Recommended for academic libraries and large art photo collections." – Sheila Devaney, University of Georgia (from Edward Burtynsky website)
