Examining the history and development of British Columbia, this work is divided into two parts. This first covers such topics as the process of change and development to the landscape and people of the province, whilst the second contains a detailed examination of the region's economic geography.
Why is British Columbia unique within Canada? What are the physical processes that have made this province so rugged and produced such variation in climate and vegetation? Why did non-Natives come to British Columbia and what impact did they have on First Nations? Why did so many Asians come to this province and then leave for other parts of Canada? How were resources developed in the past and how are those resources developed today? These are just a few of the topics Brett McGillivray discusses in this study. The book is divided into two parts. The first focuses on processes of change and development to the landscape and the people of British Columbia and examines natural hazards, physical processes, European historical geography, First Nations peoples, and Asian immigration. The second part contains a detailed examination of the economic geography of the province and addresses the present-day issues of urbanization, economic development and resource management. This up-to-date and comprehensive understanding of the rich history and development of this province should be welcomed by teachers, students, scholars and anyone interested in the development of British Columbia.
