Book Description
While physical and historical geography have traditionally played a central role in the study of Canadian geography, this book gives more weight to the coverage of contemporary economic and social factors which have transformed the spatial fabric of Canada's landscape. The text consists of two sections: the first examines elements and issues that affect the national character of Canada, and the second moves to the regional scene, with chapters on Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Western Canada, Atlantic Canada, and the Territorial North.

Excellent geographic study,

This review is from: The regional geography of Canada (Paperback)
Robert T. Bone's Regional Geography of Canada is a must for anyone who is interested in Canadian history or geography in general. It is very well organized and comprehensive. This book goes beyond what most of us think of when we hear the word "geography". It is not a book about maps, it is a book about how people live in Canada, why they live where they do, how their lives have impacted the land, and how the land has impacted their lives. It is a very interesting study and will make you think about how your own life is impacted by the environment around you... where ever you are!

Regional Geography of Canada,
By
This review is from: Regional Geography of Canada (Hardcover)
Great but not a little out of date. There is a newer edition available now, so the stats are a little out of date with census information for 2000/2001 used as a base point - Unfortunately lots of portions out of date. Also something good to know is - that even though ordering from Amazon.ca - in Canada - many orders come from the U.S. so the 5-7 business days for delivery is misleading. After you order you're notified that it could be 15-21 business days because of border/customs duty. If you need the books for University classes - unless ordered way in advance you could be in trouble. I wish there had been a note stating the potential delay in delivery before I ordered.
