Written, reviewed and edited by members of the Canadian Society of Soil Science, Digging into Canadian Soils: An Introduction to Soil Science provides an introduction to the core disciplines of soil science (pedology, soil biology and microbiology, physics, chemistry, fertility and nutrient cycling, and management), and introduces the concepts and vocabulary needed by students just beginning their soil science journey. The textbook is appropriate for use in a number of disciplines, including environmental and agricultural sciences, as well as related geology, geography and natural resources engineering  disciplines.

Chapters within the textbook are presented in three sections according to the content and level of the complexity. The first section of the book, Digging In, introduces core disciplines in a series of chapters written by authors whose research expertise informs the chapter content. Supplementary materials that are specific to regions in Canada are presented in chapters within a second section, Digging Across Canada. The third section, Digging Deeper, provides in-depth overview of some topics beyond what is considered core soil science disciplinary material, and may be appropriate for upper level soil science or related discipline courses. The textbook includes an extensive glossary that is accessible via in-text links. Importantly, the textbook is intended also to introduce students to the Canadian System of Soil Classification by providing examples from across the length and breadth of the world’s second largest country, and to the Canadian Society of Soil Science, whose members share a common passion for soil science and are keen to share and instill this passion with students across Canada.

Quiz questions that accompany the text are available for faculty and instructors. Request access by providing your credentials and contacting us at learnlib@umn.edu.

PM4ID, the First Canadian Edition, offers new features and improvements, including:

• New cover design, updated fonts, and enhanced list of Glossary terms.
• Addition of four new case studies, written to deepen reader comprehension.
• Inclusion of images with diverse skin tones, body shapes, abilities, and gender to increase representation.
• Revised content to feature Canadian spelling and contexts.
• Overall review of all written material in the textbook with detailed notes documenting content revisions.
• Comprehensive revisions based on peer reviews collected by the Open Textbook Library.
• Significant revisions to Chapter 6, with major updates to content on communication and scheduling (project management) software focusing on web-based solutions.
• Multiple versions of the book, including Print PDF, Digital PDF, EPUB, MOBI, and all chapters are available in natural voice audio recordings.
• A series of video cases with interviews of Canadian instructional design experts (video and audio recordings).
• Interactive reviews of three chapters using H5P activities.

The purpose of this book is to help readers understand the different ways in which pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12 education is organized under provincial jurisdiction in Canada. It considers issues related to the purposes of schooling; the structure of Canadian education; the influence of policy, politics and law on schooling; resource concerns (economic and human); teaching and learning environments; the nature of the teaching profession; and links between schools, parents and communities. The text ends by detailing social, political and economic impacts on school reform.

The book is organized into two main sections: the first details the anatomical location and drainage pathways of lymph nodes, while the second describes the lymphatic drainage pathways of major organs. This information is applicable to the diagnosis and treatment of canine patients as well as to researchers investigating the lymphatic system in dogs and in humans.

In addition to translating the original work, the University of Saskatchewan team of faculty and students has added notes describing key clinical points, as well as interactive student learning tools, including flashcards on lymphatic drainage patterns in canine cancer patients and lymph node labelling exercises. Our goal in translating this textbook was to honour the legacy of Dr. Baum’s extensive work and to make this valuable information freely accessible to English-speaking veterinary students, teachers, veterinarians, and researchers.

A collection of learning materials and essential resources to introduce Health Professions Education (HPE) graduate students to both academic and non-academic aspects of graduate studies, and provide background preparation to support their academic studies.

Rédigé, révisé et édité par des membres de la Société canadienne de science du sol, Introduction à la science du sol : de la théorie à la pratique en sols canadiens fournit une introduction aux disciplines fondamentales de la science du sol (pédologie, biologie et microbiologie du sol, physique, chimie, fertilité et nutriments cyclisme et gestion) et présente les concepts et le vocabulaire nécessaires aux étudiants qui commencent tout juste leur parcours en sciences du sol. Le manuel est approprié pour une utilisation dans un certain nombre de disciplines, y compris les sciences de l’environnement et de l’agriculture, ainsi que les disciplines connexes de la géologie, de la géographie et de l’ingénierie des ressources naturelles. Les chapitres du manuel sont présentés en trois sections selon le contenu et le niveau de complexité. La première section du livre, Se creuser la tête, présente les disciplines de base dans une série de chapitres écrits par des auteurs dont l’expertise en recherche éclaire le contenu du chapitre. Des documents supplémentaires spécifiques aux régions du Canada sont présentés dans les chapitres d’une deuxième section, Creuser partout au Canada. La troisième section, Creuser encore davantage, fournit un aperçu approfondi de certains sujets au-delà de ce qui est considéré comme le matériel disciplinaire de base en science du sol, et peut être appropriée pour les cours de science du sol de niveau supérieur ou dans une discipline connexe. Le manuel comprend un glossaire complet qui est accessible via des liens dans le texte. Il est important de noter que le manuel vise également à présenter aux étudiants le Système canadien de classification des sols en fournissant des exemples de tout le long et l’ensemble du deuxième plus grand pays du monde, et à la Société canadienne de la science du sol, dont les membres partagent une passion commune pour le sol et sont désireux de partager et d’inculquer cette passion aux étudiants à travers le Canada.
