Download or read book The Last Best West written by Yosef Kats and published by Jerusalem : Magnes Press, Hebrew University. This book was released on 1999 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on revised articles by Yossi Katz and John C. Lehr, first published in a variety of prestigious academic journals, this book analyses the pattern and process of ethnic group settlement in western Canada from 1874 until the 1920s from the perspective of historical geography and in the context of time, space and society. Through consideration of six major ethnic groups, the Mennonites, Jews, Mormons, Ukrainians, Doukhobors and Hutterites, the book describes how and why these groups created a series of distinctive cultural landscapes across the prairies. At the centre of this explanation is an appreciation of the roles played by the immigrants, their societies, cultures, and institutions. The ways in which these interacted with the institutions of the host society and with the politics of the Canadian government determined many settlement outcomes. It was this interaction that created the complex cultural mosaic of the contemporary prairie landscape in Canada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Terra Nostra is a celebration of the mapping of Canada-for Library and Archives Canada, it is also a celebration and a sharing of the extraordinary historical resource that is contained in its cartographic holdings. The collection spans an incredible array of mapping initiatives, from the portolan charts of the early explorers, to recent aerial images of east coast ice floes." "Canada's maps have been many things to many people: for early merchant-adventurers, they promised fame and fortune; for army commanders, they strengthened their hold on the land; for politicians, they legitimized their dominion over the country; for businessmen, they proclaimed their sense of community pride; and for ordinary citizens, they were testaments to the type of communities they wanted for their children. As repositories of intellectual thought, Canada's maps provide evidence of our nation's technical accomplishments and offer insight into the growth of our geographical knowledge. They are windows on our view of the world. Book jacket."--Jacket.
