Canada

Canada is the world's second largest country. It is also one of the most diverse, a mix of modern sophistication and true wilderness. This new edition of the "Rough Guide to Canada" covers the country in all its aspects, from the fast-paced cities of Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto to the fishing villages of the Atlantic seaboard. It details the attractions of Canada's great outdoors, whether shooting the rapids in Labrador, hiking the peaks of the Rockies, or watching polar bears on Hudson Bay. It also addresses the social tensions in a country that has been unified for a little over a century. It addresses Canada's complex political and social mix, providing biographical background on the personalities that have helped shape the country. The book aims to help with planning before a visit, as well as saving money along the way. This edition gives more space to each of the major cities, to nightlife and to the Atlantic Provinces.
