In this eclectic history of the sea's elemental power over Canada's coastal peoples, Lesley Choyce brings to life the heroes and villains, the Aboriginals and the Europeans, the great and the humble, and the intrepid but ill-prepared explorers, who "discovered," travelled through, and inhabited Canada's east, west, and north coasts.

At once a book of discoveries and a record of misunderstandings, errors and misjudgements, The Coasts of Canada features the stories of hardy souls who persevere in difficult realms. It is also a plea to preserve the good things of the sea, the coastal communities, and the fragile environment that constitutes three borders of this country. A coast-dweller himself, Lesley Choyce is an irrepressible storyteller. His first major w.
