Summary:
A remarkable, beautifully designed photographic chronicle of Canada in the 20th century, full of unforgettable moments, some famous, some not, but all unique in their celebration of Canada in the last century. Organized chronologically, the 500 images, accompanied by excerpts from some of the century's most important and provocative pieces of writing, reveal 20th-century life from a multitude of perspectives: politics, diplomacy, economics, arts, culture, thought, immigration, sports, religion, family life, urban development, and rural expansion. --
