This is the history of the foundations of modern carceral institutions in Ontario. Drawing on a wide range of previously unexplored primary material - including the papers of prison inspectors and officials and the correspondence of those who wrote to the authorities - Peter Oliver provides a narrative and interpretative account of the penal system in nineteenth-century Ontario.
In a century of massive social change, the penal system remained rural, local, decentralized, and resistant to transformations that were affecting other areas of society. Despite the efforts of reformers,...

Between 1856 and 1878, Robert A. Harrison kept a diary.

One difficulty in writing a balanced history of the American Revolution arises in part from its success as a creator of our nation and our nationalistic sentiment.

But one consequence of this happy unanimity is that the chief losers of the War of Independence--the American Loyalists--have fared badly at the hands of historians. This explains, in part, why the account of...

You could take a class, buy several opinionated books by authors who've 'been there', or participate in leadership seminars, workshops, or programs sponsored by your company--if they are available. These cost too much and in the end the principles of leadership are the same ones taught decades ago. This book...
