The Pacific Northwest: Past, Present and Future (1st Edition)

This textbook discusses some past, present, and future aspects of the Pacific Northwest and its inhabitants. The book is organized into three units: the physical environment without man, the five migrational flows of humans, and the contemporary economic and cultural activities of the residents. The three units are color-coded as follows: geographic concepts (Chapters 1-5) are green; historic concepts (Chapters 6-13) are brown; and socio-economic concepts (Chapters 14-21) are blue.  The scope of the book is, by design, regional and therfore quite broad. Discussion of events, people, and concepts is limited to the subject's overall impact upon the region as a whole. It was not designed to be a scholarly historical treatise nor a collection of local or personal histories. The book is a regional text designed to acquaint the Pacific Northwest secondary student with his environment and cultural heritage.    Student Activities Student activities conclude each chapter except Chapter 21.
