A spectacular exploration of familiar places and seldom-seen treasures.

This lush book captures Canada from its southern border to the shores of the Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic oceans, sweeping readers on a tour of the diverse landscapes in between, in 200 full-color photographs by the country's best photographers.

For those who've visited these places, this book is a breathtaking album of memories. For those who've yet to explore the country, Canada: A Visual Journey is the sightseeing tour of a lifetime.

Darwin Wiggett, Thomas Kitchin, Victoria Hurst, Mike Grandmaison, Wayne Lynch, Richard Hartmier, and Alan Sirulnikoff: the photo credits of Canada: A Visual Journey presents a who's who of Canadian landscape and wildlife photography. Wander with them into the incomparable places the nation has to offer.
