About the Book

This important new guide to over 1,500 recent books and journal articles deals broadly with current affairs in Canada.

In each chapter, books and journal articles are listed separately and then presented alphabetically.

A detailed general index also makes this research tool easily accessible for students and researchers in Canadian studies, comparative politics, and North American history.
