Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce magnifique coin de planète que nous appelons aujourd’hui le Québec, et qui a vu naître notre peuple, n’a pas commencé à exister au XVIe siècle avec l’arrivée de Jacques Cartier, loin de là! Il s’agit d’un territoire vieux de plusieurs milliards d’années qui a été le théâtre de cataclysmes extraordinaires, où ont évolué et parfois disparu d’innombrables espèces animales et dont les montagnes, les rivières, les cratères et les reliefs racontent une épopée qui dépasse l’entendement! Les colons français qui vinrent s’établir ici ne surgissaient pas du néant eux non plus. La civilisation dont ils étaient issus s’était épanouie pendant de nombreux siècles sur le sol de ce que nous appelons aujourd’hui la France, façonnée par les contributions de plusieurs peuples tels que les Gaulois, les Romains et les Francs. Et parmi leurs aïeux, ces tribus ancestrales qui élevèrent des mégalithes à travers l’Europe ou celles qui, les premières, pénétrèrent ce continent pour se retrouver face à face avec une espèce humaine maintenant éteinte: les Néandertaliens. Voilà le stupéfiant récit que raconte ce livre. Découvrir les lointaines origines du Québec et des Québécois, c’est ultimement apprendre à mieux se connaître soi-même!

Download or read book Montreal written by Dany Fougères and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2018-04-06 with total page 1505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surrounded by water and located at the heart of a fertile plain, the Island of Montreal has been a crossroads for Indigenous peoples, European settlers, and today's citizens, and an inland port city for the movement of people and goods into and out of North America. Commemorating the city's 375th anniversary, Montreal: The History of a North American City is the definitive, two-volume account of this fascinating metropolis and its storied hinterland. This comprehensive collection of essays, filled with hundreds of illustrations, photographs, and maps, draws on human geography and environmental history to show that while certain distinctive features remain unchanged – Mount Royal, the Lachine Rapids of the Saint Lawrence River – human intervention and urban evolution mean that over time Montrealers have had drastically different experiences and historical understandings. Significant issues such as religion, government, social conditions, the economy, labour, transportation, culture and entertainment, and scientific and technological innovation are treated thematically in innovative and diverse chapters to illuminate how people's lives changed along with the transformation of Montreal. This history of a city in motion presents an entire picture of the changes that have marked the region as it spread from the old city of Ville-Marie into parishes, autonomous towns, boroughs, and suburbs on and off the island. The first volume encompasses the city up to 1930, vividly depicting the lives of First Nations prior to the arrival of Europeans, colonization by the French, and the beginning of British Rule. The crucial roles of waterways, portaging, paths, and trails as the primary means of travelling and trade are first examined before delving into the construction of canals, railways, and the first major roads. Nineteenth-century industrialization created a period of near-total change in Montreal as it became Canada's leading city and witnessed staggering population growth from less than 20,000 people in 1800 to over one million by 1930. The second volume treats the history of Montreal since 1930, the year that the Jacques Cartier Bridge was opened and allowed for the outward expansion of a region, which before had been confined to the island. From the Great Depression and Montreal's role as a munitions manufacturing centre during the Second World War to major cultural events like Expo 67, the twentieth century saw Montreal grow into one of the continent's largest cities, requiring stringent management of infrastructure, public utilities, and transportation. This volume also extensively studies the kinds of political debate with which the region and country still grapple regarding language, nationalism, federalism, and self-determination.
