Peterborough and the Kawarthas 3rd edition is a comprehensive overview of the part of Ontario known as “The Kawarthas.” It includes chapters (complete with colour photos, maps, diagrams and tables) on geology and landforms; soils, plants and animals; weather and climate; rivers and lakes; local history; urban geography; tourism and recreation; regional planning; local area field trips; and map and remote-sensing imagery.
A special feature of the book is a series of aerial photographs, each accompanied by a sketch to help their interpretation. These include many aerial photographs of parts of the city of Peterborough, as well as pictures of local villages, including Lakefield, Douro, Millbrook and Warsaw.
The third edition of the book includes comprehensive references and lists of websites, including links to map, air photo and satellite images of the region, and databases for statistical information about the local area.
As with previous editions, net proceeds for Peterborough and the Kawarthas will support an annual undergraduate prize in Geography for third-year students attending Trent University. To date, $10,000 has been raised in support of this Founders’ Prize in Geography through sales of earlier editions.
