The Canadians, 1867-1967 door Various
A basic, cooperative history, often used as the university textbook. the contributors are all famous in their specialties in this field. A good preparation for further work.
Some of the sections are better than others, but generally well done. The illustrations are also helpful to the writing. Gives a good general outline to those not familiar with Canadian history.
Popular history, accompanied by 300 illustrations which add a parallel commentary to the text. Canada's history is recounted in six sections, each by a different historian: Arthur Ray, Christopher Moore, Graeme Wynn, Peter Waite, Ramsay Cook, and Desmond Morton. The illustrations make it a nice coffee table book, good for browsing for pleasure as well as a useful reference.
On the cover, the book editor is named as Craig Brown, who is also known as Robert Craig Brown, the author of several books on Canadian history. I have edited his name accordingly, to prevent confusion on the "Craig Brown" author page in LibraryThing.… (meer)
