The Metamorphoses of Landscape and Community in Early Quebec: Volume 12
ISBN: 9780773518971 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. French settlers distanced the indigenous people and flora and fauna to create a landscape that by the mid-eighteenth century had become recognizably European. British industrialists and landowners attempted similar appropriations with far less durable results and the area remained a heartland of French-Canadian life, with a sense of cohesive community. This community spirit, rooted in agrarian landscape, was channelled into the developing sense of colonial nationalism of the 1820s and 1830s. Drawing on maps by explorers and surveyors, correspondence documenting the conflict between a...

ISBN: 9780802083302 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Heroines and History is a comparative study of the images of Laura Secord and Madeleine de Vercheres, symbols respectively of the nationalism of English-Canadian and French-Canadian loyalism and national identity.

Canadian Countercultures and the Environment
ISBN: 9781552388143 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Studies of the radical environmental politics of the 1960s have tended to downplay the extent to which much of that countercultural intellectual and social ferment continued into the 1970s and 1980s. Canadian Countercultures and the Environment adds to our knowledge of this understudied period. This collection contributes a sustained analysis of the beginning of major environmental debates in this era and examines a range of issues related to broad environmental concerns, topics which emerged as key concerns in the context of Cold War military investments and experiments, the oil crisis of...

The End of Parliamentary Socialism: From New Left to New Labour
ISBN: 9781859843383 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This trenchant account of the last twenty-five years of the British Labour Party argues that Tony Blair's modernizing tendency was profoundly mistaken in believing that the only alternative to traditional social democracy was an acceptance of neo-liberalism. The impasse reached in constitutional reform, the retreat from the promise of open government, and the erosion of Labour's support amongst the electorate, flow directly from this fateful choice. In this new edition, the authors, in collaboration with Daivd Coates, review the debate in light of the Blair government's first three years in...
