A World Inside
"In the 1850s, Canada's national museum was little more than a piece of legislation governing the Geological Survey of Canada's small collection of First People's artifacts in Montreal.

This 150th anniversary history profiles the institution as well as the people who tirelessly championed it to ensure a lasting legacy for generations of Canadians."--BOOK JACKET.

Canada's Religions
Each Canadian Census reveals Canada to be an Overwhelmingly religious country. With nine out of ten Canadians claiming a religious affiliation of some kind - Aboriginal, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, or one of dozens of new religions - faith has necessarily had an influence on citizens' personal and social lives. In Canada's Religions, Robert Choquette offers a history of religion in Canada and examines the ongoing tug-of-war between modernity and conservatism within the religious traditions themselves.
