"Excellent ... Some chapters are outstanding ... It is a form of `regional physical geography' of Canada, handled from a very special perspective. This is a most refreshing and successful treatment." Jack D. Ives, Department of Geography, University of California. "This collection of essays is well presented and authoritative ... I found the quality of the individual chapters to be high ... The editors present two solid contributions that serve to tie the volume together." John Andrews, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Colorado.
