Synopsis

Canada's Century is a new edition of the original bestseller published in Fall 1999. This richly illustrated book assembles scores of as-it-happened accounts of Canadian life as the country progressed from colony to global player in the world arena.

This story of Canada is structured into themes that cover the country's history during the twentieth century, including: a century retrospective; the First Peoples; the Prime Ministers; war and peaceable kingdom; sports; brain drains and gains; immigrants; unity; and culture, movies, music and television.

Each theme is introduced by an essay and includes excerpts selected from more than 2,400 issues of Maclean's magazine, including bylines of such celebrated Canadians as Nellie McClung, Morley Callaghan, Pierre Berton, June Callwood, Allan Fotheringham, and Peter C. Newman. The lively, opinionated, and insightful text is complemented throughout by over 350 archival photographs and illustrations; both celebrated iconic images and rarely seen pictures of Canada and Canadians through the century.
