摘　　要：格雷姆·永利与科林·科茨合编的加拿大环境史著作《加拿大的自然》自出版以来引起了学术界广泛的关注。加拿大占据了半个北美大陆,人类已从宏观尺度认识了其生态模式,但地方性的自然环境是复杂多样且难以预测的。《加拿大的自然》用17章(350页)的篇幅涵盖了从深度时间(地质史)到刚刚发生的过去(北极变暖)的历史,涉及加拿大各个省份和地区,考察了从微生物到全球等不同尺度的变化进程。本文介绍了该书的要点、研究方法和思路,并反思环境史研究中尺度和策略带来的挑战,进而加深我们对加拿大自然的认识。Graeme Wynn's Nature in Canada,co-edited with Colin Coates,on Canadian environmental history,has attracted widespread scholarly attention since its publication.Canada occupies half of the North American continent,and humans have come to recognize its ecological patterns on a macro scale,but local natural environments are complex,diverse,and unpredictable.In 17 chapters(350 pages),Nature in Canada covers the history of Canada from deep time(geologic history) to the immediate past(Arctic warming),covering all provinces and territories of Canada,and examining processes of change at various scales ranging from the microbial to the global.This paper will present the key points,research methods and ideas of the book,and reflect on the challenges posed by scales and strategies in environmental history research,thereby deepening our understanding of Canadian nature.
