Lively, compact, and highly readable, this bestselling history offers a fascinating overview of the Canadian landscape and its people.

that is constantly changing, adjusting, and redefining itself. Revised to cover recent developments and issues of ongoing concern, the third edition is an indispensable introduction to the nation that
is Canada today and a perfect companion to celebrations of Canada's 150th anniversary.
