The Canadian Annual Reviewhas become an indispensable reference book for all concerned directly or indirectly with Canadian public affairs. It offers both a concise, convenient record of the year's events and a responsible appraisal of these important developments. Compiled by a corps of Canadian scholars and experts writing under the direction of an outstanding Canadian historian and political commentator, it is authoritative and eminently readable. The articles can be read consecutively for interest and instruction, or they can be spot read with ease to locate particular information. A suberb index greatly enhances the value of this annual, now in its nineteenth year as an indispensable reference book for those concerned directly or indirectly with Canadian public affairs.
