Is Canada's forestry on the brink of collapse? World-renowned environmental activist Elizabeth May thinks it is, and in this exhaustively researched and controversial book tells us why. In its shocking conclusion, At the Cutting Edge foresees the coming of an age when Canada moves from being a world leader in the supply of forest products to a third-tier provider forced to clear-cut and decimate its environment to maintain a place in the global forest industry.
