Well-rounded and up-to-date, this new edition provides balanced coverage of pre- and post-Confederation Canada to help students understand how Canadians have interpreted and experienced home, work, and play across time.

Editorial Reviews

"This is a great collection. . . . The editors have done an excellent job of chopping and paring down some of the articles to get to the essential points." --Christopher Dummitt, Trent University

"The choice of home, work, and play as organizational themes works very well, and students are easily engaged with these topics. . . . The inclusion of visual primary sources is an excellent addition to the text." --Carmen J. Nielson, Mount Royal University
