About the Book

Canada: A Nation of Regions is a comprehensive survey of the regional geography of Canada. Explaining the physical and human processes that have shaped and continue to modify this country, Brett McGillivray tells the stories of the interactions between Canada's peoples and landscapes. At the same time he draws attention to Canada's place in the global context and the international factors that have so much power to influence the direction of economic development here. Designed to be accessible to students without any previous background while offering enough complexity for geography majors, Canada: A Nation of Regions provides a lively and engaging introduction to the discipline.
