"This text is a cost-effective and engaging addition to any collection with clientele who enjoy almanacs or record books, and it is suitable for all ages." --Booklist Canadians don't always consider themselves patriotic, but Canadian Geographic Biggest and Best of Canada gives them 1,000 reasons why they should be. People around the world recognize the maple leaf flag, but what else sets Canada apart? Its stunning natural and manmade attractions, its unique people and their incredible accomplishments, of course! The book is packed with 500 photographs and 1,000 fascinating facts, figures and feats, which are organized into 11 categories: Geography; Weather; Wildlife; Structures/Communities; Business/Industry; Communications; Innovations; Transportation; Pop Culture; Sports and Leisure; and People, Places and Things.
