Abstract
Bernard D. Thraves, M.L. Lewry, Janis E. Dale, and Hansgeorg Schlictmann (eds), Saskatchewan: Geographic Perspectives (Regina: Canadian Plains Research Center, University of Regina, 2007), 486pp. Cased. $75.00. ISBN 978-088977-189-5. This lavishly produced 20-chapter tome claims to be Saskatchewan's first comprehensive geography textbook. It sets out to provide a substantive overview of the province from a variety of geographic perspectives, aiming specifically to be a textbook for use in postsecondary geography programmes with material appropriate for high school research projects and for the general public. It more than succeeds in these aims, containing a treasuretrove of information about the province so that it should be a much used source of material. It has 150 figures (mainly black-and-white photographs), 70 tables and 60 full-colour plates accompanying text that is fully referenced and contains 29 focus studies exploring specific topics in depth. Written largely by academic geographers and edited by faculty at the University of Regina, it successfully combines the production values of a coffeetable book with hard-edged academic content. Saskatchewan: Geographic Perspectives presents the work of 43 scholars arranged in 19 chapters and 6 sections, of which two are the introduction and conclusion. The four substantive sections deal with the Physical Environment, Historical and Cultural Geography, Population and Settlement, and Economic Geography. Given this wide sweep of geography, it is difficult to summarise its contents, though in the Introduction it is claimed that the book intends to dispel some of the 'myths' about the province. The reality is that it reinforces certain preconceptions while demonstrating how the changing economic climate has significantly altered the nature of the human geography. It was into a fairly unpromising physical environment (with particularly harsh winters) that white men first ventured as fur traders in the late seventeenth century. The overwhelming majority of the book deals with the subsequent unfolding of the province's history in terms of the evolving social and economic landscapes. However, the ongoing role of the aboriginal people is not ignored. The urbanisation of the province's population, focused on Regina and Saskatoon, is the dominant story of the province's history: from prairie farming communities of the 1920s and 1930s to today, when three-fifths of the population live in the two main urban centres and over three-quarters are in the eight most populous towns. …

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
