| Summary: | Published in 1987, The Illustrated History of Canada was the first comprehensive, authoritative one-volume history of our nation. It featured text 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. Fifteen years after its initial release, The Illustrated History of Canada has been fully updated to bring readers into the 21st century. This important new edition -- redesigned and reset for easier reading -- includes contemporary material on such topics as the rise of small government, the recognition of Native land claims, and Canada's role in the post-Cold War "peace." Now 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. |
