Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manitoba is more than one of Canada's three prairie provinces. Encompassing 649,950 square kilometres, its territory ranges from Canadian Shield to grassland, parkland, and subarctic tundra. Its physical geography has been shaped by ice-age glaciers, while its human geography reflects the influences of its various inhabitants, from the First Nations who began arriving over 9,000 years ago, to its most recent immigrants. This fascinating range of geographical elements has given Manitoba a distinct identity and makes it a unique area for study. Geography of Manitoba is the first comprehensive guide to all aspects of the human and physical geography of this unique province. Representing the work of 47 scholars, and illustrated with over 200 maps, diagrams, and photographs, it is divided into four main sections, covering the major areas of the province's geography: Physical Background; People and Settlements; Resources and Industry; and Recreation.As well as studying historical developments, the contributors to Geography of Manitoba analyse recent political and economic events in the province, including the effect of federal and provincial elections and international trade agreements. They also comment on future prospects for the province, considering areas as diverse as resource management and climatic trends.

This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Extended Notes of an Address on the Geography of Manitoba Although the Geography of Manitoba is well-known to many individuals, who have travelled over the Province, yet to the majority, of our own settlers, it is but little known. The following notes are arranged to direct the attention of teachers and pupils to the most practical subjects for study regarding our own Province. With a map of Manitoba, as published by the Department of Agriculture and Immigration, before the school, the first thing noticed by children will be the different blocks in different colors, and the large spaces tinted pink. The blocks are municipalities, the pink spaces are unsettled, unsurveyed, and in many places only partly explored districts. Explain what a municipality is, giving details of the one in which the pupils live, the names of the councillors and reeve. An interesting lesson or two can be given to advanced pupils touching on how the councillors are elected, and what their duties are, referring to taxes, roads, bridges, formation of school districts, etc. On a closer examination of the map, pupils will notice that the whole Province is divided into square blocks, and you are at once into our system of survey, each block is six miles square. If possible, let pupils find out how these blocks can be located, and where the enumeration commences. Find the Principal Meridian and show the ranges east and west from the same, as shown by figures at the bottom and top of the map. There are 17 ranges to the east and 29 to the west. Then explain the township enumeration. Tp. 1 is the first strip of blocks along the south; Tp. 2 is the second row of blocks across the map from east to west.

Download or read book The Canadian West written by Alex McIntyre and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian West: A Geography of Manitoba and the North-West Territories As far as it has been found possible, the geography of Western Canada as outlined in this little work has been treated from an inductive standpoint, based on the assumption that those who study the "home region" have a fair knowledge of the "earth as a whole" and the "continents." While this is in no way a picture-book, an effort has been made to assist the child to grasp a broad and strong picture of the country by presenting a series of related topics rather than a great number of uninteresting and unrelated facts. The illustrations have been chosen and the maps prepared with the purpose of assisting in the understanding of the text. Each chapter, or lesson, is followed by a number of questions carefully selected. These make a desirable review of the topic. They also invite the student to inquire into geographical facts outside the text, and thus prepare for the more practical geography when the school days shall have ended. Considerable space has been given climate and life, topics our pupils are usually very ignorant of. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
