Canada: Landscape of Dreams

by Roberta Bondar

Douglas & McIntyre | June 15, 2006 | Trade Paperback

The superbly crafted large-format photographs of Roberta Bondar remind us yet again of the stunning beauty and rich variety of our northern landscape. This new paperback edition combines forty images with the eloquent words of distinguished Canadians, among them Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Susan Aglukark, Oscar Peterson, Douglas Coupland, Iona Campagnolo, Gordon Pinsent, Pam Wallin, Deepa Mehta, Paul Gross and Peter Gzowski.

One of Canada's great scientists and first astronauts, Bondar travelled the length and breadth of the country from Haida Gwaii to Terra Nova, Ellesmere Island to Point Pelee to capture on film the nation's finest natural landscapes. The result is an elegant, exquisitely designed, moving tribute that conveys something fresh and memorable about the amazing place we call Canada.
