Reviews
Robert A.J. MacDonald, University of British Columbia:
The evidence presented…forces us to consider the important conclusion that British Columbia throughout its history has been “at the extremes of western world demographic trends.” Becoming British Columbia deserves a wide readership.
Bill Marr, Wilfrid Laurier University:
John Belshaw’s book is an important addition to the literature about British Columbia’s population history and should be read by all people who are interested in Canada’s demographic trends since the late 18th century. It is also an entertaining read.
