Author Description

Product Description The Almanac of Canadian Politics brings together information from a wide variety of sources to provide comprehensive profiles of all Canadian constituencies. As the authors point out, even specialists in the study of elections have in the past frequently been unfamiliar with basic information on the make-up of each riding. With the publication of this book a wealth of such information - invaluable but hitherto inaccessible - becomes readily available.In addition to a verbal description of the constituency summarizing its composition and detailing its electoral history, each entry in the almanac includes complete statistical information on its make-up.The Almanac of Canadian Politics is rounded out with a wide range of appendices that provide rankings of constituencies according to a broad range of categories. Finally, the book includes a full index of all candidates in the last federal election.The Almanac of Canadian Politics will be an invaluable resource for academics, business people, politicians and political organizers, bureaucrats, interest groups, and indeed for concerned Canadians generally.
