Canadian History for Dummies by Will Ferguson

Just what you'd expect from a Dummies/Ferguson collaboration. I thought before delving into denser works it would help to have a high school history refresher course, and this did the trick.

This book moved slowly for me. I did not like the author's injection of his own story, even if it wasn't much. I did like that the moments of opinion were highlighted with "Disagree" icons. Most history books include opinion moments like they were facts. This series and the "The Complete Idiot's Guides" do help a person out by highlighting patterns and on-going issues. Plus, the summary card is really helpful. I'll keep the summary card and toss the rest of the book.
