Making Connections 3rd Edition

Geography is much more than a collection of facts about where things are located and why they are there. Most importantly, it is a subject that connects physical and social perspectives to the study of people, places and environments. Through the use of Making Connections: Canada’s Geography, you will have an opportunity to extend your ability to see Canada and the world as a geographer does.
