History of Atlantic Canada

Introduction to the social history of Scots in Quebec (1780-1840)
This volume comprises a historical study of the Scottish urban elite of Quebec between 1780 and 1840 whose educational, religious, philanthropic, and economic institutions demonstrate a strong continuity with their homeland and resistance to cultural assimilation within the larger French Canadian society.
Canadians and their environment
This book provides a brief but sweeping treatment of the history of resource use in Canada. Subjects discussed include attitudes of the Native peoples and the colonists towards the environment, exploration, fishing, the fur trade, the timber industry, mining, immigration, farming, industrialization and urbanization, and the exploitation of resources today. Historical illustrations and photographs of artifacts and reconstitutions from the exhibits at the National Museum of Man, Ottawa, complete the text.
Cities in the west
The relatively recent preoccupation of Western Canadian historians with their urban past has resulted in an imaginative new field of research and writing. The papers presented in this volume sample that research from a variety of perspectives: the development of local government; social life; businessmen and pressure groups; radical politics; and recent trends and perspectives.
