From the rear cover
To celebrate Alberta's 2005 centennial, the University of Alberta Press and the University of Calgary Press are proud to introduce Alberta Formed - Alberta Transformed, a two-volume set spanning a remarkable 12,000 years of history and showcasing the work of 34 of Alberta's most respected scholars. Volume 1 sets the stage - from human beginnings in Alberta to the eve of Alberta's inauguration as a province in 1905 - while Volume 2 takes readers through the twentieth century and up to the 2005 centennial. Edited by provincial historian Michael Payne, along with Donald Wetherell and Catherine Cavanagh, Alberta Formed - Alberta Transformed consists of 30 distinctive and richly illustrated essays representing a wide range of voices and points of view. Moving beyond straightforward commemorative history, the contributors often tackle contentious issues and question previous, more conventional approaches and assumptions. Each essay represents a snapshot in time, focusing on a person, a trend or an event that has played a significant part in shaping the vibrant, often surprising and sometimes raucous story of Alberta. Michael Payne is the provincial historian with Alberta Community Development. Donald Wetherell is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Communication and Culture at the University of Calgary. Catherine Cavanagh is an Associate Professor in the History and Women's Studies departments at Athabasca University.
