Explore how climate, soils, and landforms shape farming, industry, and life across Quebec.

From early colonial development to modern resource use, the book traces the economic geography of the province.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from The Province of Quebec: Geographical and Social Studies

But the official university view at that time was still confined to the lower plane. Geo graphy was regarded as no more than a primary school subject. The Royal Geographical Society, however, continued its efforts to raise the point of view; and by the nineties a remarkable change of mind had been brought about. Geo graphy is now not only recognized at Oxford and Cambridge but at all the other leading universities of the Mother Country. The effect is seen not only in geographical literature at large but also in the school texts of Great Britain.
