Excellent geographic study

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!
