A Young Man's Benefit: The Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Sickness Insurance in the United States and Canada, 1860-1929: Volume 7
ISBN: 9780773518247 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Using cliometric methods and records from six grand-lodge archives, A Young Man's Benefit rejects the conventional wisdom about friendly societies and sickness insurance, arguing that IOOF lodges were financially sound institutions, were more efficient than commercial insurers, and met a market demand headed by young men who lacked alternatives to market insurance, not older men who had an above-average risk of sickness disability. Emery and Emery show that many young men joined the Odd Fellows for sickness insurance and quit the society once self-insurance - savings - or family insurance -...

Carabins ou activistes?: L'idéalism et la radicalisation de la pensée étudiante à l'Université de Montréal au temps du Duplessisme: Volume 10
ISBN: 9780773518346 / Francuski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Studies of young activists have tended to focus on the period of the 1960s. Neatby shows us that the youth of the sixties were not the only ones to distinguish themselves by their social activism and idealism - students of the Duplessis era were equally conscientious and idealistic about wanting reform and felt a strong sense of social responsibility towards the world at large. On the Quebec scene they openly criticized religious authorities and increasingly saw themselves as agents of reform in educational matters. Their activism led them to take strike action and to organize a sit-in....

Robert Bourassa, a pariah after losing power to the separatist Parti Quebecois in the 1976 election, emerged a decade later from political exile to lead his party back to power. As he said: "I succeeded my successor." Claude Ryan, formerly the respected publisher of Le Devoir, had led the Quebec Liberal Party and the federalist coalition to a decisive victory in the 1980 referendum on Quebec sovereignty, but the uneasy alliance of Ryan and Pierre Trudeau did not survive the prime minister's unilateral patriation of the Canadian constitution.

He had been shot six times at close range. The victim's half-brother, Father Adelard Delorme, quickly became the prime suspect as circumstantial evidence pointed directly to him.

Father Delorme had also recently taken out a life insurance policy on...

The 'Spanish' influenza of 1918 was the deadliest pandemic in history, killing as many as 50 million people worldwide.
