Excerpt:The Camille-Roy Building of the Séminaire de QuébecThe Seminary of Quebec (French: Séminaire de Québec) is a Roman Catholic community of priests in Quebec City founded by Bishop François de Laval, the first bishop of New France in 1663. The Séminaire de Québec is a Society of diocesan priests founded on March 26th 1663 by Bishop François de Laval, first bishop of New France, in order to sustain the mission of the Church in North America. In 1665, he joined this community to that of the Seminary of Foreign Missions of Paris under the name of the Seminary of Foreign Missions of Quebec, hence the old acronym still in use today: SME. The first role of the Séminaire de Québec was to prepare young men to the priesthood, so as to assure the ministry in the parishes and the various missions which reached as far as Louisiana. The foundation of the Seminary therefore coincides with that of the Major Seminary, training center for future priests. In 1668, on a request from Colbert, Louis XIV's top minister, who wished the aboriginals to be gallicized, Bishop de Laval entrusted his Seminary to open its doors to young Indians and to the children of the first settlers who had dispositions for studies and eventually the priesthood. That was the foundation of the Minor Seminary (Petit Séminaire de Québec). The residence of the priests and the Grand SéminaireUntil the English conquest in 1760, the Minor Seminary was a boarding school for...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=7934348 ... Read more

Artificial Intelligence and cognitive science are the twofields devoted to the study and development ofknowledge-based systems (KBS). Over the past 25years,researchers have proposed several approaches for modelingknowledge in KBS, including several kinds of formalism suchas semantic networks, frames, and logics. In the early1980s, J.F. Sowaintroduced the conceptual graph (CG) theorywhich provides a knowledgerepresentation frameworkconsisting of a form of logic with a graph notationandintegrating several features from semantic net andframerepresentations.

Not a help to me.
I had this book along with the Lonely Planet guide to Montreal.I found that the Lonely Planet guide to Montreal had better information on Quebec City than this book did.

It may be that this book is just not designed for people like me, but I just did not find this book useful.

Mis- information
We were disappointed in the inaccuracies in the information regarding Quebec City.The listing for the Auberge St. Antoine indicated two levels of parking (valet and self park); in fact the hotel only offers valet parking and for considerably less than listed in the book.The hours for at least one of the tourist attractions were not correct.The biking information does not include the nice trail in Levis accross the St. Lawrence and accessible by ferry (no car required); instead, the book sends you to an island that requires a car and does not have traffic free paths.

Traveling to Quebec? Don't forget your guide.
As many Frommer's traveling books, this one will help the reader to get along the city and take advantage of his travel. Having this book handy in your backpack will make your walking tours, dinning and staying a truly unforgettable experience. It is amazing how it describes to the detail many places that no other way you would consider visiting. Even though Frommer's is a guarantee istelf, consider buying a better city map to get along, since the one in the book is a little confusing and incomplete.

A great help in enjoying two wonderful Canadian cities
In preparing for a trip to Montreal and Quebec, I was pleasantly surprised to find a book that covered both cities.It was easy to read and findspecific information.The different maps were very helpful while walkingaround both cities -- although I used actual road maps for drivingdirections.Keeping in mind that having two cities means less informationabout each -- I found the information was the right amount to help us makeimportant decisions or ask the right questions when we made reservations.It certainly will help you find the "must see" spots as itprovides recommendations for a one-, two- or three-day visit.I often readthe short description of a site aloud before we visited.We changed ourhotel reservations based on the book.As a result, we saved $10 per night(which more than paid for the book) and got free meals for the children --a huge savings over three days. Bottomline -- a good, easy-to-use book withvaluable information -- especially for first or second time visitors.

Frommer's Montreal & Quebec City
Good overall book. It is very accurate and a good starting point for a new traveller to the city. The only problem w/ a book like Frommer's is that 10,000 other people have the same book. You tend to see the same kind ofcrowd if you follow thier recommendations as the people who buy the book.Nevertheless, it is a very good informative guide for what it is and shouldbe bought by any 1st time visiter to Montreal and Quebec. ...
