A Country Nourished on Self-Doubt provides coast-to-coast-to-coast representation and features an impressive balance of personal, formal, and legal documents. Four new chapters cover sexual advice in Victorian Canada, treaties of the far north, drugs in the 1920s, and youth in the 1960s. Also, two new features make this edition the most student-friendly to date: brief notes introducing each document, and a student guide to reading primary sources.
