description: This volume tells the story of the region from its geological origins through its settlers, Aboriginal and European, to their descendants' lives on a series of margins: first of the French and British empires, then of Confederation, now of the global "free market." Together, a vivid narrative and some 150 illustrations trace not only the four provinces' varied social, economic, and political histories, but the distinctive 'regions of the mind' that have played an equally important role in their evolution as a region 'in the making."
