This is a really great book that really opens your eyes to the use of hokey-pokey snakeoil based teething pain treatments that aren't Tylenol or Motrin based. Or then something else entirely that has nothing to do

Series: A Wilder West Rodeo in Western Canada Paperback Mary-Ellen Kelm 9780774820301 $27.95 HISTORY Grade (US) from 17 Jul 01, 2012

A controversial sport, rodeo is often seen as emblematic of the West's reputation as a “white man's country.” A Wilder West complicates this view, showing how rodeo has been an important contact zone -- a chaotic and unpredictable place of encounter that challenged expected social hierarchies. Rodeo has brought people together across racial and gender divides, creating friendships, rivalries, and unexpected intimacies. Fans made hometown cowboys, cowgirls, and Aboriginal riders local heroes. Lavishly illustrated and based on cowboy/cowgirl biog... + Read More

Series: Studies in Canadian Military History Give Me Shelter The Failure of Canada’s Cold War Civil Defence Paperback Andrew Burtch 9780774822411 $32.95 HISTORY Grade (US) from 17 Jul 01, 2012

How could you and your family survive a nuclear war? From 1945 onwards, the Canadian government developed civil defence plans and encouraged citizens to join local survival corps. By the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the civil defence program was widely mocked, and the public was still vastly unprepared for nuclear war. An exposé of the challenges of educating the public on the threat of nuclear annihilation, Give Me Shelter provides a well-grounded explanation of why Canada’s civil defence strategy ultimately failed. It is essential readin... + Read More

This is a story about a remarkable Sikh family and the communities they lived in and supported in both Canada and India. Kapoor Singh Siddoo arrived in British Columbia in 1912 and overcame racial prejudice and legal discrimination to transform himself from labourer to lumber baron.

Series: Law and Society Conflict in Caledonia Aboriginal Land Rights and the Rule of Law Paperback Laura DeVries 9780774821858 $32.95 LAW Grade (US) from 17 Jul 01, 2012

In February 2006, First Nations protesters blocked workers from entering a housing development in southern Ontario. The protest highlighted the issue of land rights and sparked a series of ongoing events known as the “Caledonia Crisis.” This powerful account of the dispute links the actions of police, officials, and locals to non-Aboriginal discourses about law, landscape, and identity. DeVries encourages non-Aboriginal Canadians to reconsider their assumptions, to view “facts” such as the rule of law as culturally specific notions that prevent... + Read More

Series: Principles of Tsawalk An Indigenous Approach to Global Crisis Paperback Umeek / E. Richard Atleo 9780774821278 $32.95 SOCIAL SCIENCE Grade (US) from 17 Jul 01, 2012

Tsawalk, or “one,” expresses the Nuu-chah-nulth view that all living things – human, plant, and animal – form part of an integrated whole brought into harmony through constant negotiation and mutual respect. In this book, Umeek argues that contemporary environmental and political crises and the ongoing plight of indigenous peoples reflect a world out of balance, a world in which Western approaches for sustainable living are not working. Nuu-chah-nulth principles of recognition, consent, and continuity, by contrast, hold the promise of bringing ... + Read More

The right to a healthy environment has been the subject of extensive philosophical debates that revolve around the question: Should rights to clean air, water, and soil be entrenched in law? David Boyd answers this by moving beyond theoretical debates to measure the practical effects of enshrining the right in constitutions. His pioneering analysis of 193 constitutions and the laws and court decisions of more than 100 nations in Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa reveals a positive correlation between constitutional protection and stronger... + Read More

Canadian wilderness seems a self-evident entity, yet, as this volume shows in vivid historical detail, wilderness is not what it seems. In Temagami’s Tangled Wild, Jocelyn Thorpe traces how struggles over meaning, racialized and gendered identities, and land have made the Temagami area in Ontario into a site emblematic of wild Canadian nature, even though the Teme-Augama Anishnabai have long understood the region as their homeland rather than as a wilderness. Eloquent and accessible, this engaging history challenges readers to acknowledge the e... + Read More

It’s an alarming if little-known fact: one of the world’s mightiest rivers, the Colorado, no longer reaches the sea.

Series: Corporation 2020 Transforming Business for Tomorrow's World Hardcover Pavan Sukhdev 9781610912389 $43.95 BUSINESS & ECONOMICS Sep 27, 2012

There is an emerging consensus that all is not well with today’s market-centric economic model. Although it has delivered wealth over the last half century and pulled millions out of poverty, it is recession-prone, leaves too many unemployed, creates ecological scarcities and environmental risks, and widens the gap between the rich and the poor. In Corporation 2020, Pavan Sukhdev lays out a sweeping new vision for tomorrow’s corporation: he presents new approaches to measuring the true costs of business and the corporation’s obligation to socie... + Read More

Series: Brookings FOCUS Book Mr. Putin Operative in the Kremlin Hardcover Fiona Hill 9780815723769 $32.00 POLITICAL SCIENCE Sep 15, 2012

Observers have variously said that Putin has no face, no substance, no soul; he is "the man from nowhere" – a nobody, who can appear to be anybody. But Putin only wants the world to see him that way, and he has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal who he really is. Drawing on many sources, including their own personal encounters with him, the authors argue that there are, in fact, several "real" Putins. They concentrate on five essential ones: Putin the Statist, Putin the Survivalist, Putin the Outsider, Putin the Free Marketeer, and Putin... + Read More

Neither power nor morality but both. Moral power is what Sukuma farmers in Tanzania in times of crisis attribute to an unknown figure they call their witch. A universal process is involved, as much bodily as social, which obstructs the patient’s recovery. Healers turn the table on the witch through rituals showing that the community and the ancestral spirits side with the victim. In contrast to biomedicine, their magic and divination introduce moral values that assess the state of the system and that remove the obstacles to what is taken as k... + Read More
