Canada by Heather Blades
Canada is a vast country of huge contrasts: the second largest country in the world but with a population of only 30 million. This comprehensive book covers Canada's history, landscape and climate, population and settlements, government and politics, energy and resources, economy and income, global connections, transport and communications, education and health, culture and religion, leisure and tourism, environment and conservation, and future challenges. It also includes a full colour map, tables and diagrams of important statistics, and numerous boxes with interesting 'Did you know ...?' fact boxes. There are also special focus panels which go into detail on specific aspects of the country. Stunning and informative photos, many specially taken for this book, enhance this attractive and highly useful introduction to an important country in today's world.
