Here is Ottawa as you have never seen her before. You will be present at her birth in the wilderness and, from the comfort of your favourite chair, watch her growth through two centuries. An intimate portrait of many of the places that define the Capital––her businesses, culture, recreation, architecture, parks and people––evolving from virgin forest to thriving city.   The book looks at the city’s growth through over 200 colour photographs, many of which are artfully paired with archival images of these same places. Complimenting the images is a lively and informative manuscript that combines beautifully with the visuals to show you many aspects of the Nation’s Capital that you may not know. There is a new surprise with every turn of a page.   This completely re-designed, 2015 edition has many new and updated photographs and has grown from 128 to 192 pages.
