It manages to introduce and summarize relevant characteristics of Canadian life highlighting features of symbolic relevance for Canada as a nation; It includes fairly recent issues and data such as the 1995 Quebec separation referendum and the Nunavut project; Despite some minor issues mentioned above, the authors achieve success in sustaining a relatively objective and widely accepted perspective; It can be a useful resource for both newcomers to Canada and to others studying this culture from outside; It is highly motivating for further readings since it invites the reader to investigate the different fields of Canadian life in detail. What describes the resource students and teachers all want to use? It has an attractive outlook, contains rich and valuable material which is organized in an effective way —supposedly by someone who is experienced in teaching. The book Virginia L. Sauvé and Monique Sauvé have recently released seems to achieve these points successfully.
