Edited by Craig Brown. Published by Key Porter Books Ltd., 2007. Description: |
| A Canadian classic, now completely revised. 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. With this revised edition, The Illustrated History of Canada has been fully updated to bring readers into the twenty-first century, with contemporary 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 Martin and Harper governments. Fifteen years after its debut, The Illustrated History of Canada remains a must-have reference guide for all Canadians interested in the history-and the future-of our country. "... probably the best general history of Canada written during the past three or four decades." – Kingston Whig-Standard "... a page-turning good read and good everyman's reference book." –Vancouver Sun "This book presents the sweep of Canadian history, and a grand sweep it is." – Montreal Gazette |
