Publisher's Summary
Canada is known all over the world due to its undying commitment to multiculturalism and its social and ethnic diversity. In a time when these values were unspoken of, Canada was the first country to embrace an official multiculturalism policy. Nevertheless, the path that Canada followed to become the powerful nation it is today was like a labyrinth, filled with challenges and obstacles.
Starting from Canada's first inhabitants and explorers, this brief book will offer you a comprehensive overview of Canada's history, as it presents the key events that altered the course of this nation irrevocably. The following aspects are included in the book:
- The coming of the Aboriginal peoples to Canada
- The first Viking expedition to Canada led by Leif Eriksson
- The initial European explorations that took place during the 15th-16th centuries and how these laid the grounds for the colonization movement that followed afterward
- Canada's role and place in the world today
- The primary elements that shape the Canadian culture and what makes it so distinctive
- Main places to visit in Canada: some sights and attractions that you shouldn't miss from your itinerary if you want to understand Canada's culture and uniqueness
Only when you aim at learning about a country's history could you fully grasp its culture and evolution. That's what makes this book the perfect resource for those who want to enlarge their knowledge of Canada.
Canada is a country that seems to relish unlimited space. It is dynamic, unique, and complex, being much more than a multicultural society; it is also a multinational one. The details pointed to in this book link Canada's past and present to its potential future. I challenge you to broaden your comprehension of Canada and get this book today! This beautiful country is unexpectedly intriguing once you get to learn more about it.

Condensed Version of Canada History
If you want a quick summary of Canada History, I recommend this book. Although I expected more in depth research on the topic, which was not covered in the book, it is still a good hand book for those interested in history. The narrator is good overall.

A very quick snapshot of the history of Canada
This book covers very quickly from the first people's to the evolving culture of Canada. Definatly a good start to begin tge detailed approach into a very unique history. The author gives a lot of detail and conjecture of what has made this country and where it has begun.

Disappointed
A book about Canadian history should have a narrator who is Canadian with no US accent. Also, the narrator should be able to pronounce "Inuit." This guy says "Into it".

Narration doesn't match the Material
I feel for the author as I can't get through the first chapter due to the narration of this book.
Who on Earth thought this was a reasonable way to present this book on Audible. Un-listenable!!! Not worth my credit.
I would like like to clarify my review. I do not mean any disrespect to the narrator. He is articulate enough to present other material but this is truly the worst match up of material and narration I have ever encountered. It appears there was no homework or critical review of the narration done prior to publishing.

The worst narrator for this book possible
it is unfortunate that the author as well as the publisher would make such a poor choice in narrator. I'm sure this could have been a good a book. However, the narrator has a heavy mid-western American accent, seemingly unable to read or sound natural. Additionally, the narrator is unable to pronounce most the words correctly, including the word Canada; sad face.
