Adam Shoalts talks on the Morning Show on Global News. A much better review is by Harry Wilson for Canadian Geographic.īook Trailer: A History of Canada in 10 Maps video is here. This is not the best review I read, but Lyle Dick is writing for a magazine of Canadian History. As usual, there are some good reviews on Good Reads. Charlotte Gray does a very good job in her review of this book on the Globe and Mail. There was some short and interesting reviews of this book on Amazon. This is storytelling and the way history should be taught. I think others pointed this out in reviews. Yes, the book says it is about maps, and there is copies of these maps in the book, but it could also be about 10 stories of Canada. A distrust that still seems to be here, at least in the older generation.

They said they wanted to free us from the British, but burning our homes just left southern Ontario with bitter and deep feelings against the Americans. He talks a bit about the War of 1812 when Americans invaded Canada (Ontario) and left it a it a charred, smoldering wasteland. I found this quite an interesting book with even the maps interesting.

Quentin Hardy moderates a Google Talk with Niall Ferguson. This is a short video, but not as good as the one by Hoover Institution. Jason Howell interviews Niall Ferguson on TWiT Netcast Network. Niall Ferguson is interviewed at the Hoover Institution by Peter Robinson. Knee on the New York Times has an interesting review. Some like the book and some have some criticisms of it.
Also seeing interviews of authors and hearing authors talk about their subject gives you a better understand and often present things in ways that give you a different and more broader understanding of what they wanted to convey in their books.Īndrew Anthony on The Guardian just tells us he finds this book confusing. To read a review you often find ideas about a book that never occurred to you. I think this provides an understanding of a book much better. If you notice by my reviews, I look at reviews by a number of people and also videos that I find. I think the most interesting comments from the book is about the printing press producing both religious conflict and also the Enlightenment. I think that he has a unique view of how the world works.
This is another great book by Niall Ferguson. This book’s full title is The Square and the Towner: Networks, Hierarchies, and the Struggle for Global Power.
