Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book unearths the complex and multifaceted nature of the Canadian Almanac over the course of its publication from inception to 1871. Produced by the Canadian Institute and later the Meteorological Service of Canada, this annual almanac contained key statistical data on meteorological observations, astronomical ephemeris, and census data. The book argues that the almanac contributed to the growth of Canadian scientific capabilities through its facilitation of the sharing of knowledge and the establishment of national networks of observers. Its ability to gather, compile, and distribute information was critical to Canada's ability to represent its citizens' interests internationally. Through painstaking research, the author presents an impressive narrative that demonstrates the importance and influence of this almanac in the development of Canada.
