CANADA

In over 500 pictures, this volume shows the multifaceted wilderness of Canada. Canada borders the USA in the south and the Arctic Circle in the north. This results in a landscape diversity with endless forest areas in the south and ice and rock areas in the north, beyond the Arctic tree line. These include the Banff National Park in the Rocky Mountains, famous for its numerous lakes, and the Niagara Falls on the border with the USA. The metropolis Toronto, Vancouver on the west coast, as well as the French-speaking cities Montreal or Quebec and the capital Ottawa are included. Beautiful British Columbia is home to the Takakkaw Falls in the Yoho National Park, stunning blue glacial lakes and copper and green forests, snowy mountain peaks, wooden chalets and fishing villages. We celebrate the beauty of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, plus maple syrup, the maritime provinces, the Canadian Artic, Yukon and the extraordinary animals and birds, huskies and dog sleds, the exquisitely designed Parliamentary Library at Ottawa home to around 600,000 media and with a 92 metre high Peace Tower, the landmark of the city, architecturally designed museums and of course the beaver and the Canada geese, the moose and ice hockey. Maps, stunning full page colour photos. Text in six languages. Softback, 17 x 20.8cm, 504pp.
