Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. This in-depth regional study of the Niagara Frontier examines the evolution of landscape and settlement patterns on both sides of the Niagara River, from St. Catharines, Ontario, to Lockport, New York. This significant area, straddling an international frontier, both connects and separates Canadian and American territories. Professor Jackson employs a chronological approach, starting with the physical geography and its ongoing impact on land use and development. He highlights Native settlements, their trails, and economic activities, noting that certain Native features remain integral to the modern landscape. The analysis reveals how earlier human landscapes, once continuous across the river, became fragmented with the establishment of an international boundary in 1783. Subsequent chapters trace the transformations brought by canals, railways, hydroelectric power, and the automobile's dominance in contemporary times. Jackson emphasizes Niagara Falls as a central element in the region's development and discusses the tourist industry's influence. This comprehensive analysis serves as a valuable resource for students of regional, urban, and historical geography, as well as those engaged in cross-boundary trade, education, or tourism.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This in-depth regional study of the Niagara Frontier traces the evolution of landscape and patterns of settlement on both sides of the Niagara River extending from St. Catharines, Ontario, to Lockport, New York. This significant region, astride an international frontier, both connects and separates, unites and divides Canadian and American territories bordering the Niagara River.Like map overlays that build on an underlying base geography, Professor Jackson's chronological approach begins with the qualities of the physical background and their ongoing ramifications up to the present for the use and development of land. He then adds the Native settlements, showing their trails and economic activities, while highlighting the amazing fact that certain Native features remain an intrinsic part of the modern landscape. The next time period reveals that the previous human landscapes, once continuous across the Niagara River, became acutely discontinuous with the creation in 1783 of an unseen but divisive international boundary.Subsequent chapters follow the changes over the course of time as canals, railways, hydroelectric power, and the dominance of the automobile in the present era all transform the environment. Jackson also discusses Niagara Falls as the fulcrum around which the Niagara Frontier has developed and the impact of the tourist industry on the region. This thorough analysis of an important international region will be of great use to students of regional, urban, and historical geography as well as to anyone involved in cross-boundary trade, education, or tourism.…
