- The HANDY VOLUME ATLAS OF THE WORLD has long enjoyed a large measure of popularity as the most complete and accurate Compendium of Geographical Information of its size published. The evidence of this continued popularity lies in the fact that, since it was first produced under the Editorship of the eminent Geographer, the late Dr. E. G. Ravenstein, no fewer than fourteen large editions have been issued. In this, the FIFTEENTH EDITION, the present Editor has endeavoured to deserve a continuance of that popularity, by making the new issue of the Atlas a complete SURVEY of POST-WAR GEOGRAPHY, exhibiting, in their natural order, the territorial changes and political changes throughout the World effected by the Peace Treaties and Agreements following the Great War. -- Excerpt from Preface, p. v

- Abstract
- As the flames playing about the burning driftwood logs weave together many beautiful shades and colorings, so in this collection of verse, the author presents many delightful phases of fancy and imagination, skilful tone-colorings and word melodies. Mrs. Mackay has a sensitive ear for the music of words and an instinctive feeling for rhythm. She has both imagination and humor, and a keen appreciation of the wonderful and the beautiful. Many of the lyrics in this collection have a universal emotional appeal while others reproduce with accuracy and fidelity a distinctively Canadian background and atmosphere. The author's many admirers will eagerly welcome this volume. -- From interior dust jacket

- Abstract
- In the western interior of Canada, the pre-confederation period was one of relative peace between Indians and Europeans. Nonetheless, it was a time of rapid cultural transformations for the Indians as they adjusted to changing environmental and economic conditions. This book examines these conditions, and the responses which various Indian groups made to them, from the perspectives of anthropology, ecology, economics, and history. -- From back cover

- Abstract
- The Indian cultures that once flourished in the Pacific Northwest left a magnificent legacy. Now, a distinguished photographer has sought out British Columbia's native artists in their own places, met them informally and recorded their rediscovery of the old skills. In over 200 perceptive photographs, Ulli Steltzer has captured ninety-three dedicated men and women as they carve silver, wood and argillite; prepare wood for weaving and knitting; dig roots and gather grasses for their baskets. There are glimpses of their studios, their homes, the countryside; and their words, to, are recorded. -- From back cover
