Review

'The sheer complexity of the undertaking, range of topics, depth of scholarship, revelation of detail, and ingenuity of presentation all continue to impress.'--D.W. Meinig "Canadian Historical Review "

Review

'The sheer complexity of the undertaking, range of topics, depth of scholarship, revelation of detail, and ingenuity of presentation all continue to impress.'

(D.W. Meinig Canadian Historical Review )

'This is a splendid accomplishment. The scholarship is impeccable. The maps are beautiful and the design is first-rate. Everything is done with imaginative flair.'

(Donald Swainson Kingston Whig-Standard )

'The series is a magnificent compilation of graphs, charts, paintings, and scholarship. It took more than 500 people, from support staff to experts, from across Canada, managed out of a fluorescent-lit basement at the University of Toronto, almost two decades to do.'

(Val Ross The Globe and Mail )

'If you think of an atlas as a collection of conventional maps, this book will make your head spin.'

(Don Cayo Saint John Telegraph-Journal )

2.0 out of 5 stars they ruined it, Jan 25 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Concise Historical Atlas of Canada (Hardcover)
Geoffrey Matthews' and Byron Moldofsky's beautiful cartography is destroyed by the greatest error an atlas publisher can make--spreading the maps across two pages. The results are not just ugly; some information is lost in the crack.
