Destinies: Canadian History Since Confederation, 8th edition

About the Product Destinies and its pre-Confederation partner Origins continue their unrivalled ability to tell the story of the history of Canada by balancing different types of history while maintaining a coherent narrative that does not drown the reader in detail. In their new editions, these books have made even greater investment in student engagement, from beautiful production values to a careful integration of social history, with relevant examples that show readers history in the novels and films around them. MindTap™, a fully online learning solution, combines all learning tools—readings, multimedia, activities, and assessments—into a single Learning Path that guides the student through the curriculum and brings history to life! Features Destinies continues its successful tradition of taking a narrative approach to history, telling the story of Canada from the last Ice Age to Confederation in 1867, while also recognizing changes in Canadian historical scholarship. Structured chronologically, to help students understand how events developed over time, Destinies is divided into large thematic sections, each introduced by a brief overview of topics highlighted in the section’s chapters Each chapter treats a period (or region or theme) and begins with a “Time Line” listing the key events discussed (exceptions occur when some important issues are presented thematically). "Where Historians Disagree" boxes provide a historiographical perspective by highlighting some of the most contentious debates in history, along with highlighting some of the innovative work being done by Canadian historians. Historical Portraits feature both well-known and not-so-well-known people whose lives and experiences reflect important issues and trends. Community Portraits highlight the contributions of selected communities.
