The juxtaposition of Canadian and American experiences reveals striking contrasts and similarities between the two nations. Coverage predictably includes the impact of agriculture, the fur trade, industrial growth, mining and transportation changes. More surprising topics include the relocations of Native Americans, the rebirth of American forests, city beautification efforts and environmental justice...This provocative approach to North American history and public policy will serve high school, college and public library users."—Lawrence Looks at Books, Gale Reference Reviews
