Introduction -- Cottages, cottaging, and cottage ownership -- Community change in the rural-recreational countryside -- Rideau lakes and Cultus lake study areas -- Respondent profiles -- Housing change and conversion pressures -- Community groups -- Local Government structure.

Review: "The cottage is a powerful image of rural Canada. This image, however, often ignores the rural community that surrounds it, producing a geographically and socially divided landscape and creating friction between cottage owners and rural communities. Cottage Country in Transition is a wide-ranging exploration of the interaction and evolution of these two communities." "Using the Rideau Lakes region of eastern Ontario and the Cultus Lake area of southwestern British Columbia as case studies, Greg Halseth examines the ways in which economic, political, and social power affect community change." "Written in an accessible style, Cottage Country in Transition will be of great interest to rural geographers, planners, sociologists, and community researchers as well as to rural residents and cottage owners."--Jacket
