A colorful look at Canada,
This review is from: Canada (True Books: Countries) (Paperback)
"Canada," by Elaine Landau, combines a straightforward text with lots of full-color photographs. The book is a basic introduction to Canada. Topics covered include the country's history, ethnic diversity, geography, educational system, sports, economy, government, and cultural scene. Some specific issues addressed include the Quebec separtist movement and the 1999 establishment of Nunavut as a self-governing Inuit territory.The book includes a brief bibiliography, a list of Web sites, a glossary, and an index. The photographs capture some memorable images: the magnificent Chateau Frontenac in Quebec city, a Canadian Indian in colorful feathered attire, the wooded shores of Lake Superior, and more. Overall, an informative and visually striking introduction to this nation.
