A Florida political science professor who "loves revealing Canada's many surprises," has written the ultimate primer on all things Canadian.
John Santosuosso of Florida Southern College in Lakeland has written "Canada: An Introduction for Americans," released byPublishAmerica ($19.95; publishamerica.com, Amazon.com).
One of the few U.S. professors teaching Canadian courses, Santosuosso calls Canada his "second home" and has traveled to every province in his fact-finding mission.
"Canada is a good friend, but it is not just like us and there is far more there than moose and Mounties," he said. He points out that Canada is America's largest trading partner and the biggest source of imported oil and the only major supplier that is "politically stable."
He writes about Canada's birth and growth, the "distinctly Canadian ways of doing things," multicultural diversity, building the economy and trips to places "many Canadians have not yet discovered."
