Rather than reiterate the common Canadian studies with a focus on the 1960s and 70s, Hoerder goes back to the 1840s. These essays focus on: 1. the study of natural resources by the Geological Survey since the mid 1800s concentrating on the social aspects as relating to the native peoples as well as the arrival of the immigrants, labourers and inevitably the investors; 2. research on urban as well as prairie societies by social scientists and political economists since the 1920s; 3. the study of Canadian society since 1960 with emphasis on the literature..
