Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sans le canal de Lachine, Montréal ne serait pas devenue aussi rapidement la métropole commerciale et industrielle qu'elle est devenue. Interface entre l'Atlantique et les Grands Lacs, le canal verra voguer au fil de l'eau une flotte de navires en tous genres. De même, par sa seule présence, l'eau du canal suscitera l'implantation de l'industrie manufacturière le long de ses berges, les uns voulant s'approvisionner en énergie hydraulique, les autres tirant le maximum de cette ressource mésestimée. Avec une telle activité, de rase campagne, les berges du canal se métamorphosent en frange urbaine. Le canal n'est plus seulement un lieu où l'on travaille, mais devient aussi un milieu de vie. Pour rendre compte de l'importance et de la particularité de ce canal, un album-photo comme celui-ci ne cherche pas seulement à offrir le splendide. Les photographies servent surtout d'appuis formidables au propos des auteurs. Car, ce livre ne se veut pas seulement un beau livre mais aussi un document où des points essentiels de l'histoire du canal, de sa construction à la navigation, en passant par les usines et les hommes, sont mis en scène. Bref, où la mise en perspective historique prime sur la seule esthétique des photos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Lachine Canal National Historic Site of Canada is located in the southern part of the island of Montreal. This 14.5 kilometre long engineering structure was built between 1821 and 1825 in order to bypass the Lachine Rapids. The canal was designated of national historic significance in 1929. This new management plan is part of the renewal of the site and its surroundings, in the midst of a full urban redevelopment process. The plan will also allow the canal to better position itself within Montreal's tourist and cultural activities. The vision for the Lachine Canal aims to create an emblematic and inspiring place, supported by a community committed to its protection and improvement"--Executive summary, p. vii.

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.
