"Few, if any, Canadian Social History texts consider space as a central focus of studyEL the text moves beyond the structural approach of early social history which often relied on quantitative methods and a class and gender analysis. This textbook incorporates more substantive elements andqualitative evidence, such as visual sources, to more fully reflect past human experience." --Kathleen Lord, Mount Allison University, "Few, if any, Canadian Social History texts consider space as a central focus of study... the text moves beyond the structural approach of early social history which often relied on quantitative methods and a class and gender analysis.

    Only packaged in an unpadded satchel. Despite, the item actually arrived in good condition as described. Ran into an issue, contacted the seller via listing and received an automated response where they clearly did not read my message. Competitive pricing. ⭐⭐⭐

    I had an excellent experience with this purchase. The item arrived quickly and was exactly as described—if not better. It was a very good price for this book. It was carefully packaged, showing great attention to detail and care. Communication was smooth throughout the process, and everything went perfectly from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend this seller and would gladly do business with them again. Highly satisfied!
