This paper examines the emerging structure and culture of Canadian land trust organizations that set aside private land for conservation purposes. While a number of researchers in both the US and Canada have viewed land trusts as privatized conservation mechanisms, a closer examination of their social, economic and ecological objectives demonstrates that land trusts inhabit the space between the public and private sector in a manner characteristic of social economy organizations. However, a comparison of the structure and ethos of the Canadian land trust movement to the ideals embraced by the social economy sector reveals that while land trusts have many of the foundational elements of the social economy, they need to engage more consciously and broadly with civil society if they are to fully fulfill their conservation and social mandates.

examples because they give explanatory power to her references to difficult concepts. Martin's use of stories is very effective.I recommend this book for two separate audiences. The first three chapters would be useful for academics to understand the ways in which critical theory may have failed literacy practitioners and how poststructural theories may provide new directions. Even though the section on psychoanalytical theories needs close examination to understand its relevance, it is an interesting concept to ponder. However, the last three chapters will be extremely useful for practitioners who want to make their instruction more powerful and relevant for their students. The book's value as a curriculum tool is outstanding. Even with its contradictions and dual audiences, it is a book that can be used by both academics and practitioners.
