Description
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.
