Designed for one-semester and full year courses in Canadian history taught at both universities and colleges.Authors Conrad and Finkel have done an impressive job in condensing their 2-volume History of the Canadian Peoples into a well crafted, engaging and concise history text. This brief edition is comprised of 28 chapters and is divided into eight parts. Although the authors emphasize social history, developmental reviewers have been pleased with the "balanced" coverage put forward in this new edition. The strength of this text lies in its pedagogy— aside from the weblinks to source material, Conrad and Finkel highlight key, yet sometimes little known historical biographies and debates that will be of interest to students and useful to instructors in guiding classroom discussions. Many reviewers have commented that Conrad and Finkel make reading about our nation's history compelling.
