Across This Land
Author: John C. Hudson
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421437597
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 553
Book Description
A fascinating overview of the lands and peoples of the United States and Canada, both past and present. Based on decades of research and written in clear, concise prose by one of the foremost geographers in North America, John C. Hudson's Across This Land is a comprehensive regional geography of the North American continent. Dividing the terrain into ten regions, which are then subdivided into twenty-seven smaller areas, Hudson's brisk narrative reveals the dynamic processes of each area's distinctive place-specific characteristics. Focusing on how human activities have shaped and have been shaped by the natural environment, Hudson considers physical, political, and historical geography. He also highlights related topics, including resource exploitation, economic development, and population change. Praised in its first edition as a readable and reliable interpretation of United States and Canadian geography, the revised Across This Land retains these strengths while adding substantial new material. Incorporating the latest available population and economic data, this thoroughly updated edition includes • reflections on new developments, such as resource schemes, Native governments in Atlantic Canada, and the role of climate change in the Arctic • a new section focused on the US Pacific insular territories west of Hawaii • evolving views of oil and gas production resulting from the introduction of hydraulic fracturing • revised text and maps involving agricultural production based on the 2017 Census of Agriculture • current place names • more than 130 photographs The most extensive regional geography of the North American continent on the market, Hudson's Across This Land will continue as the standard text in geography courses dealing with Canada and the United States, as well as a popular reference work for scholars, students, and lay readers.

Author: Robert M. Bone
Publisher: Don Mills, Ont. : Oxford University Press
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
This text looks at the dual relationship of the Canadian north as both resource frontier and homeland of many Aboriginal groups. Since the last edition of this text, many changes have occurred, raising the possibility that both the frontier and homeland concepts can become a northern reality. These concepts are coherently presented throughout the book and brought to the fore in the concluding chapter.

North America
Author: John Harris Paterson
Publisher: New York : Oxford University Press
ISBN: 9780195055818
Category : Canada
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
Noted for its breadth of view, John Paterson's geography of North America has long been considered one of the best texts in regional geography. It combines lively, readable language with an analytic approach and an emphasis on human problems. In addressing regional problems Paterson raises thought-provoking questions and--drawing on a wide range of literature, opinion, and his own research--he offers some insightful personal judgments. Updated and revised, this new edition retains the earlier structure but takes up the considerable changes in North America's geography--particularly the shift within economic geography from production to service and consumption and the resultant emphasis on urban development and its attendant problems, while maintaining a balanced outlook that includes descriptions of peripheries as well as core areas. Paterson also addresses changes in the nature of geography as a discipline that have occurred since the book's original edition in 1960. North America covers both sides of divergent trends in the field, mentioning the many theories developed by the objectivists as well as discussing the individual and communal perceptions of the world that the more subjective perceptual geographers explore. Paterson continues to offer a cohesive and balanced point of view.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Manitoba is more than one of Canada's three prairie provinces. Encompassing 649,950 square kilometres, its territory ranges from Canadian Shield to grassland, parkland, and subarctic tundra. Its physical geography has been shaped by ice-age glaciers, while its human geography reflects the influences of its various inhabitants, from the First Nations who began arriving over 9,000 years ago, to its most recent immigrants. This fascinating range of geographical elements has given Manitoba a distinct identity and makes it a unique area for study. Geography of Manitoba is the first comprehensive guide to all aspects of the human and physical geography of this unique province. Representing the work of 47 scholars, and illustrated with over 200 maps, diagrams, and photographs, it is divided into four main sections, covering the major areas of the province's geography: Physical Background; People and Settlements; Resources and Industry; and Recreation.As well as studying historical developments, the contributors to Geography of Manitoba analyse recent political and economic events in the province, including the effect of federal and provincial elections and international trade agreements. They also comment on future prospects for the province, considering areas as diverse as resource management and climatic trends.
