For students, government officials, and researchers of all kinds,
Canadian Geography is a comprehensive, scholarly bibliography of
references covering all types and aspects of the geography of
Canada. . . . The author takes considerable care in amassing varied
materials from many sources and from as far back as possible. . . .
The work also includes a sizable listing of scholarly journals
worldwide consulted. This compendium will certainly provide
significant access to the body of knowledge comprising the
geography of Canada.

A long book does not always require a long review. All readers of
Reference Reviews will know what to expect from a bibliography, and
this one delivers what its title promises. It lists (without
annotations) 17,600 books, articles, dissertations and theses - but
not government publications - mostly in English or French, but also
in several other languages, on all aspects of Canadian geography,
though it does not trespass into geology. Though quite highly
priced, this large-scale work is likely to be the definitive book
on its topic, and as such an essential purchase for any library
with a serious interest in the geography of Canada.

Rumney has compiled a comprehensive bibliography of geographic
studies of Canada and its provinces….The book would be useful for a
varied audience: students and teachers, researchers, and government
officials.
