New Publication by Dr. Bruce Strang

 

The Department of History is pleased to announce the publication of the Canadian Edition of Historica: 1000 Years of Our Lives and Times by Raincoast Books. Bruce Strang, Chair of the Department, was the edition's chief consultant and provided the volume's introduction.  

 

Historica explores the evolution of the world and of people's lives over the last thousand years, and shows how dramatically the world has changed from era to era. In the year 1000, most people lived in rural areas; cities were centred around cathedrals or fortresses; transport was by horse; most of the population couldn't read. The world is a different place today, and Historica demonstrates the ways that changes have happened. Historica takes a close look at the wars, inventions, explorations and the fascinating people who have played a key role in the major events of the world.
