Jamie Bastedo is an ecotour operator, environmental consultant, author, broadcaster, educator, and performer. He is also the author of Shield Country: The Life and Times of the Oldest Piece of the Planet.
In this armchair ecotour, Bastedo uses stunning photos and stories to introduce us to the Canadian Shield. This extraordinary book is part personal journal, exploring events that illustrate Bastedo’s relationship with the land; part story, telling the land’s past, present and future; and part reference book, exploring the unique phenomena of this extraordinary region. Shield Country is not a new book. It was originally written in the early 1990s, before conservation and environmentalism became ordinary household words. But Jamie Bastedo is anything but ordinary. He writes to inform and to inspire, telling a true "story of place".
