Geography of Manitoba is the first comprehensive guide to all aspects of the human and physical geography of this unique province. Representing the work of 47 scholars, and illustrated with over 200 maps, diagrams, and photographs, it is divided into four main sections, covering the major areas of the province's geography: Physical Background, People and Settlements, Resources and Industry, and Recreation. As well as studying historical developments, the contributors to Geography of Manitoba analyse political and economic events in the province, including the effect of federal and provincial elections and international trade agreements.
