E-Books →Nova Scotia Shaped by the Sea, 4th Newly Revised Edition

This of Nova Scotia is an amazing story of a land a and people shaped by the waves, the tides, the wind and wonder of the North Atlantic Choyce weaves the legacy of this unique coastal province, piecing together the stories written in the rocks, the wrecks, and the record books of human glory and error. In this newly revised and updated sweeping true-life adventure, he provides a thoughtful down-to-earth journey through history that is both refreshing and revealing.
Here, well into the twenty-first century, he looks back at the full story of Nov Scotia from the legacy in our rocks to the civilization of the Mi'kmaq, the arrival of the Europeans and beyond to the stormy history of English and French. Never praising history for history sake, Choyce takes a critical look at the wars that helped shape the province, the scoundrels and the heroes who lived here down through the centuries and the seas and storms that swept through the land of the Bluenosers.
The original edition of Nova Scotia: Shaped by the Sea was published to acclaim by Penguin Books in 1996. This new edition brings the story up to date and looks at the changes in politics, economy and global climate that will challenge Nova Scotians in the years ahead.
