The Oxford Companion to Canadian History has just been published to considerable fanfare. It is a massive undertaking, though not as massive as the Globe reviewer implied when he described it as "bigger than a breadbox", when in fact it is the size of a large book. Our own Bill Waiser served on the Editorial Advisory Board, and the 527 contributors include Ken Coates (now of Sea to Sky University), Steve Hewitt (now of the University of Birmingham, England), Valerie Korinek, Maureen Lux, Jim Miller, Dale Miquelon, Ted Regehr (Emeritus), and Bill Waiser himself.
