A historian of medieval art and architecture with a rich appreciation of literary studies, Stephen Murray brings all those fields to bear on a new approach to understanding the great Gothic churches of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. "Plotting Gothic"positions the rhetoric of the Gothic as a series of three interlocking plots: a spatial plot tied to the material construction of the churches, a social plot stemming from the collaborative efforts that made Gothic output possible, and a rhetorical plot involving narratives that treat the churches as objects of desire. Drawing on the...

The R&D program that took place at Defence Research Establishment Suffield (DRES) between 1975 and 1980 is detailed. The Canadian Navy was preparing to build new City class patrol frigates and to refit existing Tribal class DDH-280 destroyers at the time.

Then tragedy struck – he crashed and broke his neck, flat-lined three times, and ended up paralysed from the shoulders down. Though...
