Literary Nonfiction. Environmental Studies. Essays. Edited by Christina Palassio and Wayne Reeves. Drained by a half-dozen major watersheds, cut by a network of deep ravines and fronting on a Great Lake, Toronto is a city dominated by water. Recently, the trend of fettering Toronto's water and putting it underground has been countered by persistent citizen-led efforts to recall and restore the city's surface water. In HTO: TORONTO'S WATER FROM LAKE IROQUOIS TO TADDLE CREEK AND BEYOND, thirty contributors examine the ever-changing interplay between nature and culture, and call into question the city's past, present and future engagement with water. Together, these essays provide a context for a critical observation of the city's relationship to water, and how that relationship will have to changein the coming decades.
