Description

Geographical works embracing the whole of Canada, few in number until recently, have become more numerous during the last few years. This series is original in its purpose of re-evaluating the regional geography of Canada. In the hope of discovering the dynamic trends and the processes responsible for them, the editors and authors of these volumes have sought to interpret the main characteristics and unique attributes of these various regions, rather than follow a strictly inventorial approach. These studies should contribute to a better understanding, among scholars, students and the people of Canada, of the geography of their land.
