Product Description
This volume explores Canada as a country of regions, revealing its cultural, economic, and physical diversity. While physical and historical geography have traditionally played a central role in the study of Canadian geography, this study gives more weight to the coverage of contemporary economic and social factors which have transformed the spatial fabric of Canada's landscape. The most powerful global event affecting Canada and its regions has been the liberalization of world of world trade. This new edition includes a CD-Rom with student resources and a computerized test file.

Reader Reviews
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!
