The Illustrated History of Canada: 25th Anniversary Edition (Carleton Library Series)

First published in 1987, The Illustrated History of Canada was the first comprehensive, authoritative one-volume history of the country. It featured chapters by seven of Canada?s leading historians and hundreds of engravings, lithographs, cartoons, maps, posters, and photographs. Together, these elements created a sweeping chronicle of Canada from its earliest times to yesterday?s news. Now The Illustrated History of Canada has been fully updated to bring readers into the twenty-first century, with new material on such topics as the rise of small government, the recognition of Native land claims, Canada?s role in the post-Cold War ?peace,? and the 2011 federal election. More than ever, The Illustrated History of Canada is a must-have reference guide for all Canadians interested in the history ? and the future ? of our country.The Illustrated History of Canada: 25th Anniversary Edition (Carleton Library Series)Author:Craig BrownBy:McGill-Queen?s University PressISBN10:077354089XISBN13:9780773540897
