The Reference on the History of Astronomy in Canada
This is a unique book about the history of astronomy in Canada. The coverage is quite good but could have been enriched and is somewhat biased. Especially some aspects might have been explored in more details, like the astronomy in the French regime. On the other hand, a large coverage is given the the David Dunlop Observatory. The book looks a little outdated now as the astronomy has largely grown in many part of Canada in the last 20 years.

It is still the authoritative book about history of astronomy in Canada. A recommanded reading for a long cloudy winter night. ... Read more
