Almost every Canadian can hum the originalHockey Night inCanada theme even those who dont think of themselves ashockey fans. For more than a century, Canadians have seensomething of themselves in the sport of hockey.Canadas Game

explores the critical aspects of this relationship. Contributorsaddress a broad range of themes in hockey,past and present,including spectacle and spectatorship, the multiple meanings of hockey in Canadian fiction, and the shaping influences of violence,anti-Americanism, and regional rivalry. From the Gardens to theForum, from the 1936 Olympics to the 1972 Summit Series, fromthe imagined depictions in Canadian fiction to the fans-eyeview,Canadas Game looks at hockeys ability to reflect Canadianidentity.

Contributors include Julian Ammirante (Laurentian University at

From the book:The Giller Prize-winning author, David Adams Richards,tells a humorous anecdote from his days as a writer-in-residence at the University of New Brunswick Frederic-ton. It was in 1984, on the day after Team Canada haddefeated the hated Soviet national team 3 to 2 in over-

time and, a committed hockey fan, he was dying to chatwith someone, anyone, about the great victory the nightbefore. The first person he encountered was a youngEnglish professor, a good but perhaps pretentious scholarwho had once been overheard saying that she could notsee how anyone couldlive without reading Henry James.Despite her erudition, like Richards she was from small-

town New Brunswick, and because of this, he thought, shemust be a hockey fan.Did you see the game last night?No, she replied,we dont have a television dont ap-prove of it,but continued on saying that her husbandhad been eager to find out the result that morning onthe radio.

Hes heartbroken,she said.We were going for theRussians. Richards face displayed his bewilderment ather treasonous statement.

Well we both hate Gretzky, you see.Her accent nowturned slightly British hes just such a Canadian. Shesmiled. He paused, uncomfortably,and then asked her:

You hate greatness or just Canadian greatness?

In 1959, Alan Jarvis the brilliant and charismatic director of theNational Gallery of Canada was forced to resign following adisagreement with the government over the purchase of works byEuropean Old Masters. He never fully recovered from this dismissal,

or the public humiliation that followed, succumbing to alcoholismin a little over a decade.Only thirty-nine when he took over the National Gallery in 1955,

Jarvis already had an extraordinary record of achievement andsocial mobility at home and in England:he had trained withCanadas greatest artists, won a Rhodes scholarship, lunched atthe Algonquin RoundTable in New York, managed an aircraftfactory, written a bestseller, produced films, run a slum settlement,and moved in a London social circle that included Nol Coward andVivien Leigh.As head of the National Gallery, Jarvis was a provo-cative public educator, advocating his idea of a museum without

walls in countless public appearances. Instrumental in bringingmodern art to the National Gallery, he shook artists and the art-minded public out of a period of national complacency. This firstdetailed account of the controversy surrounding his time at thegallery provides an important context for the ongoing andcontested role of publicly supported arts and art institutions inthis country.

Tracing Jarvis personal background and varied careers througharchives, published sources, and interviews with family, friends,colleagues, and critics,Bringing Art to Lifeassesses his impactand exposes the formal and informal mechanisms through which

Canadian culture operated in the mid-twentieth century.

Andrew Horrall is an historian and archivist who holds a doctoratefrom the University of Cambridge. He lives in Belgium.

David ThompsonsTravels is one of the finest early expressionsof the Canadian experience. The work is not only the account of a remarkable life in the fur trade but an extended meditationon the land and Native peoples of western North America.

The tale spans the years 1784 to 1807 and extends from theGreat Lakes to the Rockies, from Athabasca to Missouri.A dis-tinguished literary work, theTravels alternates between theexpository prose of the scientist and the vivid language of thestoryteller, animated throughout by a restless spirit of inquiryand sense of wonder.

In the first volume of an ambitious three-volume project thatwill finally bring all ofThompsons writings together, editorWilliamMoreau presents theTravels narrative as it existed in 1850,whenthe author was forced to abandon his work.AccompanyingMoreaus transcription is an introductory essay and a textual

introduction, extensive critical annotations, historical and modernmaps, and a biographical appendix.The definitive collection of Thompsons works,The Writings

of David Thompson will bring one of North Americans mostimportant early travellers and surveyors and his world to a wholenew generation of readers.

Thompsons descriptions of his experiences transports the readerto the era of Euro American contact with Indigenous people in thepre-colonialWest like no other his observations are amongst theclearest and most perceptive written during the period.This is an

important work and deserving of a wide general audience.William L. Lang, Portland State University

Moreau integrates new materials and ensures that previouslyexcluded material is now accessible. Scholars have been waitingsome time for a completeThompson edition, and this will be usedand admired by historians and anthropologists throughout theUnited States and Canada.Frits Pannekoek, Athabasca University

Marking the 250th anniversary of the battle of the Plains of Abraham,Quebec: The Story of Three Siegesgoes beyond thecelebrated siege by General James Wolfe in 1759 to chroniclethree very different sieges, across two separate conflicts.

Focusing on the geographical importance of the city of Quebecand the role it played in the Seven Years War and the AmericanWar of Independence, Stephen Manning describes visits to thecity of important figures such as Benedict Arnold and GeorgeWashington. In the fuller context of the Seven Years War, heexplains the enormous importance the British attached to thecapture of North America from the French. His account of the finalbattle on the Plains of Abraham is a detailed analysis of GeneralWolfes genius and the reasons for his success. But the conflictdidnt end with Wolfes victory: at the battle of St Foy in 1760, theFrench beat the British and again laid siege to Quebec.The siege

failed and, aided by the Royal Navy, the British were finally ableto force the French Army back to Montreal and capture Quebec.But Britains relationship with her new North American colonialsubjects quickly turned sour, leading directly to the outbreak of war with America.The final siege of Quebec was by the Americansin 1776. It failed, securing the future of Canada as a separatepolitical entity.

A thrilling tale told with consummate skill and real narrativepace,Quebec:The Story of Three Siegesoffers an exciting newperspective on the events that changed the face of North America.

Could the People in the Town, and Seamen, be depended upon, Ishould flatter myself, we might hold out, till the Navigation opensnext Spring I think our Fate extremely doubtful, to say nothingworse.Sir Guy Carleton, British governor of Quebec, 1775

InTriquets CrossJohn MacFarlane tells the story of PaulTriquet, a French-Canadian soldier who was awarded theVictoria Cross for bravery in the battle for Casa Berardi

during the SecondWorldWar.One of only thirteen members of the Canadian ArmedForces to be awarded the highest military honour duringthe war,Triquet was later pressured to resign from theforce due to the overwhelming public and politicalexpectations that the award entailed.The role of herodid not suit Triquet and weighed heavily on him and hisfamily. MacFarlane shows how Triquets story waschanged by those who wished to make his hero statusthe cornerstone in a political debate between franco-phones and anglophones, particularly with regard to his

representing the Commonwealth despite his French-Canadian heritage.Military heroism has changed in the postwar period,

and heroes are no longer expected to be perfect models.But in 1944 Paul Triquet perhaps the most popularCanadian hero of the war was asked to conform topolitical, social, and military agendas.His story revealsmuch about Canadian and Qubcois society at thetime and the history of French-Canadians in theSecond World War.

An informative case study of the creation and functionof public heroism.Carman Miller, McGill University

John MacFarlane is a historian with the Department of National Defence and author of Ernest Lapointe andQuebecs Influence on Canadian Foreign Policy .

Infantrymen have been the sledgehammer of landwarfare throughout the twentieth century, but preciselyhow they fought at the tactical level has been difficult

to determine. American historian S.L.A. Marshall, forinstance, famously claimed that most Allied soldierswould not fight at all, even when their lives were at stake.

InCanadians Under Fire Robert Engen explores thedynamics of what combat looked like to Canadasinfantrymen during the Second WorldWar. Analyzingunexamined battle experience questionnaires fromover 150 Canadian infantry officers, Engen argues fora reassessment of the tactical behaviour of Canadiansoldiers in the Second WorldWar. The evidence alsoshows that Marshalls theory of non-participation in

combat by Allied forces is demonstrably false: Canadiansoldiers took a continued and aggressive part in thefighting.

Canadians Under Fire forces a reappraisal of previousideas about the behaviour of men in combat and offersnew insight into how Canadians responded at thebattlefront.

Engen has discovered an untapped archival source inthe Battlefield Experience questionnaires and minedthem thoroughly.Canadians Under Fire is an important

book that adds much to what we know about Canadiansin battle.J.L. Granatstein,author of Canadas Army: Waging War and Keeping the Peace

Robert Engen is a doctoral candidate in military historyat Queens University, Kingston, and has worked as aresearcher for the Canadian Forces Directorate of LandConcepts and Designs.

What do and did we eat?What do our food stories tell us aboutwho we are or were?Whats to Eat? serves up twelve preliminaryanswers to initiate and nourish the discussion of food in Canada.

How we as Canadians procure, produce, cook, consume,and

think about food creates our cuisine, and our nation of immigranttraditions has produced a distinctive and evolving repertoire thatis neither hodgepodge nor smorgasbord. Contributors, who comefrom the diverse worlds of universities, museums, the media, andgastronomy, look at Canadas distinctive foodways from the sharedperspective of the current moment. Individual chapters explorefood items and choices, from those made by Canadas First Nationsand early settlers to those made today. Other contributionsdescribe the ways in which foods enjoyed by early Canadians havefound their way back onto Canadian tables in the twentieth andtwenty-first centuries. Authors emphasize the expressive potential

of food practices and food texts; cookbooks are more than booksto be read and used in the kitchen, they are also documents thatconvey valuable social and historical information.

Through a close examination of our shared past and by takingnotice of something that often goes unnoticed,Whats to Eat?explores how we can better understand our own food practices tocreate both a sustainable and healthy future and a renewed senseof the pleasures afforded by the daily meal in Canada.

Contributors include Shelley Boyd (McGill University),NathalieCooke (McGill University),Victoria Dickenson (McCord Museum,

Robert A.D. Ford had a distinguished diplomatic careerthat included an unprecedented sixteen years asCanadian ambassador to the Soviet Union during some

of the most turbulent and important years of the ColdWar (196480). Relying heavily on first-person testimony,including several interviews with Ford himself,CharlesRuud takes the reader behind the official announcements,revealing Fords thoughts and actions as he dealt withwhat was then seen as the great arch-enemy of Westerndemocratic nations.

During his tenure as ambassador Ford was in frequentcontact with Moscows rulers and aware of their strug-gles, hopes,plans, and fears. Although they appearedpowerful, Ford insisted that they sat uneasily on their

Kremlin thrones.He showed their shortcomings and theflaws of their system at moments of apparent triumphand warned against miscalculating their strength. Shapedby centuries of Russian tsarism and by Communistideology, Soviet leaders distrusted the world outside theirborders and often failed to understand it, makingmistakes and then compounding them, always withoutacknowledgment.

The Constant Diplomat uncovers the experiences thatinformed Fords capacity to understand the Russians andprovides a clear picture of the evolving Soviet domestic,

political, social, and cultural scene from the late Stalinera through to the end of the Brezhnev regime.

Charles A. Ruud is a professor of history at the Universityof Western Ontario and the author of several books onRussia, includingFontanka 16: The TsarsSecret Police.

During the second half of the twentieth century, musicallife in Canada flourished as never before, due in largemeasure to a generation of European migrs who

worked to establish a uniquely Canadian culture of classical music, teaching, playing, and composinginthe key of Canada.

Based on years of detailed and extensive interviewswith some seventy people, and supplemented by a widerange of archival material,Growing with Canada revealshow these men and women came to Canada and theroles they played in developing musical culture here,weaving the larger story of post-war Canadian musicperformance,production, and education around theirtestimony. Paul Helmer shows that migrs were at the

centre of the developing musical milieu, particularly inToronto and Montreal.They were able to overcome thedominating British presence in post-secondary musiceducation and vastly expanded the role music played inuniversities.They also pioneered the performance andproduction of opera in Canada. From British Columbia toNewfoundland, they served as educators, teachers, andadministrators as well as outstanding performers,conductors, composers, music historians, radio andtelevision producers, and benefactors.

Growing with Canada provides a personal and lively

perspective on one of the most significant eras of musicaldevelopment in Canadian history. Canadian musiciansand audiences continue to benefit from the impressiveachievements of the individuals chronicled in this book.

Paul Helmer , previously associate professor of musicology,McGill University, is a pianist and author of The Mass of St. James and Le premier et le secont livre de fauvel.

The island of Grand Manan is both part of North America andapart from it. Situated at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, at theborder between Canada and the United States, the Grand MananArchipelago has from the AmericanWar of Independence to

NAFTA to ongoing discussions of a new Atlantic Regionalism often been at the centre of Canadian-American land disputes.In a narrative that recalls Thoreau,Marc Shell starts from the

cultural and natural history of the spectacularly beautiful island.Like a classical geographer, he explores how geology and biologyblend with aesthetics and politics. Grand Manan has the highesttides in the world and majestic basalt cliffs. Its unique ecologyhas attracted visitors from John Audubon and the painters of theHudson River Group to the scientific directors of the SmithsonianMuseum. Shell demonstrates how, in this setting, the hospitableislanders,with the unique linguistic dialects of their five villages,

have developed a vigilantly independent and self-sufficientpolitical culture that is at once democratic in the Canadiantradition and republican in the American.

In what can be read as both an interdisciplinary history and anencyclopedic travel guide, Shell paints the story of Grand Manan its cultural history, geology, political past, changing economy, theimmigration and emigration of its population on the broadcanvas it deserves.

Marc Shell is Irving Babbitt Professor of Comparative Literature atHarvard University and the author of numerous books about North

America, includingAmerican Babel: Literatures of the United States from Abnaki to Zuniand Children of the Earth .

Millions of tourists and residents know the Bow River as ittumbles through Banffs spectacular scenery or carves an elegantarc through the city of Calgary. Fewer people know the Bow asa heavily engineered, hard-working river.

Albertas iconic river has been dammed and plumbed, made tospin hydro-electric turbines,and used to cleanse Calgary. Artificiallakes in the mountains rearrange its flow; downstream weirs andditches divert it to irrigate the parched prairie. Far from being wild,the Bow is now very much a human product: its fish are as manu-factured as its altered flow, changed water quality, and newlystabilized and forested banks.The River Returnsbrings the storyof the Bow Rivers transformation full circle through an explorationof the recent revolution in environmental thinking and regulationthat has led to new limits on what might be done with and tothe river.

Rivers have been studied from many perspectives, but too oftenthe relationship between nature and people, between rivers andthe cultures that have grown up beside them,have been sepa-rated. The River Returnsilluminates the ways in which humans,both inadvertently and consciously, have interacted with natureto make the Bow.

The River Returnsis a fascinating and detailed story by threeeminent scholars,one that breaks new ground while adheringto the rigours demanded by historical research and inquiry.Thescholarship is nothing short of outstanding and should be

brought to both public and academic attention.Max Foran, University of Calgary

Depression,once a subfield of neurosis, has become the mostdiagnosed mental disorder in the world. Why and how hasdepression become such a topical illness and what does it tellus about changing ideas of the individual and society? Alain

Ehrenberg investigates the history of depression and depressivesymptoms across twentieth-century psychiatry, showing thatidentifying depression is far more difficult than a simple diagnosticdistinction between normal and pathological sadness the oneconstant in the history of depression is its changing definition.

Drawing on the accumulated knowledge of a lifetime devotedto the study of the individual in modern democratic society,Ehrenberg shows that the phenomenon of modern depression isnot a construction of the pharmaceutical industry but a pathologyarising from inadequacy in a social context where success isattributed to, and expected of, the autonomous individual. In so

doing, he provides both a novel and convincing description of theillness that clarifies the intertwining relationship between itsdiagnostic history and changes in social norms and values.

The first book to offer both a global sociological view of con-temporary depression and a detailed description of psychiatricreasoning and its transformation from the invention of electro-shock therapy to mass consumption of Prozac The Weariness of the Self offers a compelling exploration of depression as social fact.

Alain Ehrenberg is a sociologist, the director of CESAMES (ResearchCenter on Mental Health, Psychotropics and Society, Paris Descartes

University), senior researcher at CNRS,and the author of severalbooks on contemporary individualism.

Donald Savoie grew up in a small Acadian village and went on tobecome an accomplished writer and academic whose books haveprofoundly affected Canadian public policy and public admini-stration. Im from Bouctouche,Me is not only his story but a story

about Canada, the Acadian people, and the evolution of FrenchCanada.In the 1950s most of Acadian society was poor,uneducated,

isolated, and dominated by the Roman Catholic clergy. In thefollowing decade two individuals, Pierre E.Trudeau and LouisJ. Robichaud,pointed the way for Acadians like Savoie to makeimportant contributions to Canadas development.Trudeausobjective was Canadian unity and he turned to Acadie to showQuebec that there was a viable French Canadian presence outsidetheir borders. Robichaud, New Brunswicks first elected Acadianpremier, had witnessed Acadian poverty first hand and made it

his mission to bring New Brunswick into the modern era. Savoieshows how their efforts led to fundamental change for bothCanada and New Brunswick and changed his life.

Savoie has always been a champion of his home provinceand region his memoir reveals why. He is one of Robichaudschildren, the generation that finally emerged from the cloud of Le Grand Drangement to bring equal rights and opportunitiesto Canadas Acadian citizens.

A very powerful account of an Acadians journey in a modernworld, and of the Canadian francophone experience outside

of Quebec.Im from Bouctouche,Me conveys beautifully andpoignantly a central theme of bitter root, sweet harvest.Sean Conway, Queens University

Public and media interest in the climate change issue hasincreased exponentially in recent years. Climate change, or globalwarming, is a complex problem with far-reaching social andeconomic impacts.Climate Change in the 21st Century brings

together all the major aspects of global warming to give a stateof the art description of our collective understanding of thisphenomenon and what can be done to counteract it on both thelocal and global scale.

Stewart Cohen and Melissa Waddell explain and clarify thedifferent ways of approaching the study of climate change and thefundamental ideas behind them. From a history of climate changeresearch to current attempts to mitigate its impact such as theKyoto Protocol and carbon trading, they explore key ideas frommany fields of study,outlining the environmental and humandimensions of global warming.Climate Change in the 21st Century

goes beyond climate modeling to investigate interdisciplinaryattempts to measure and forecast the complex impacts of futureclimate change on communities, how we assess their vulnerability,and how we plan to adapt our society.The book explores theimpact of climate change on different ecosystems as well as whatthe social and economic understanding of this phenomenon cantell us; it also links discussions of climate change with the globaldiscourse of sustainable development.

Climate Change in the 21st Century provides a comprehensive,understandable, but academically informed introduction to theworlds biggest challenge for both students and concerned citizens.

Climate change is not just a science problem its a social one Climate Change in the 21st Century provides a fresh perspectivebecause it primarily focuses on specific examples of societalimplications and responses to climate change.Jacqueline J. Shinker, University of Wyoming

Franoise Nol explores the social context of Canadasmost famous family to show how family ritual and com-

munal events structured everyday life between the wars.An extensive series of interviews with local residentsand a reconstruction of local news and events as chroni-cled inThe Nugget newspaper, among other sources,allow Nol to bring to life the daily routines and celebra-tions that were a part of family life in rural and urbansettings from Mattawa to North Bay. Family life was notlived in isolation,and she also reveals the rich communitylife that developed in shared social spaces like schoolsand churches, and through community groups.Whatpeople did for fun may have been frivolous but it was

not trivial: accounts of shared leisure activities, popularsports, and community festivals such as Old HomeWeekprovide important insights into the structure and value of community life.

While the question of relations between French-speak-ing, English-speaking, and other Canadians and immi-grants has often been analysed in terms of conflicts, Nolshows the extent to which such communities lived sideby side in relative harmony during the inter-war years, al-though such harmony was often achieved by minimizingthe extent of inter-community interaction.Family and Community Life in Northeastern Ontario provides a de-tailed perspective on family and community life outsidethe larger Canadian urban centres that have been thefocus of much previous scholarly study.

Franoise Nol is professor of history, Nipissing University,and the author of several books, includingFamily Life andSociability in Upper and Lower Canada.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) was the firstglobal pandemic of the twenty-first century, spreading

within weeks from southern China to over thirty-sevencountries around the world. In Canada intense newsmedia coverage had a profound impact on how thedisease was perceived,with frontline health care workers,despite their heroic efforts, stigmatized due to theircontact with patients.

Will SARS or another pandemic influenza reoccur and,if it does, have we learned how to manage pandemicsmore effectively? InSARS Unmaskedrisk communicationexpert Michael Tyshenko offers answers to this and otherquestions. Cathy Paterson,who worked as a nurse

clinician during the Toronto SARS crisis, adds an impor-tant view from the frontlines.Their analysis reveals anout-of-control situation with mixed risk communicationmessages, a lack of leadership, and an overwhelmedhealth care system that was unable to both cope withthe crisis in Toronto and provide adequate support fortheir most valuable employees at the time health careworkers.SARS Unmaskedadds important informationto what has already been said about the 2003 crisis,focusing on the human and societal effects of aninfectious disease pandemic and providing tangible

guidance for future pandemic threats.

It has been over sixty years since Hong Kong wasliberated from the Japanese. In a sharp and detailed

portrayal of the period, Oliver Lindsay offers a graphicaccount of how the British, Canadian, Indian, and Chinesedefenders surrendered Hong Kong to the Japanese onChristmas Day 1941 after eighteen days of intensefighting.

The Battle for Hong Kong, 19411945is illuminatedby the remarkable personal story of John Harris. Anarchitectural student, he was pitched into battle as asubaltern in the Royal Engineers and was a prisoner of the Japanese for four years.His powerful testimonialdescribes the appalling struggle to survive in a Japanese

prison camp.Thoroughly researched, particularly throughexceptional access to war diaries,The Battle for HongKongalso explores the catastrophic repercussions of thesudden collapse of the British Army Aid Group (covername for the agency that handled spies in SoutheastAsia) and the resulting suspicion that Britains seniorintelligence officer was working for the Japanese, the roleof military leaders in prolonging the fighting and theserious casualties that resulted, and the true extent of the atrocities inflicted on POWs and internees.

Colonel Oliver Lindsay is a military historian and theauthor of The Lasting Honour:The Fall of Hong Kong, 1941and At the Going Down of the Sun: Hong Kong and SE Asia,19411945. He lives in Dorset.John R. Harris, a distin-guished architect,was interned for over four years by theJapanese.The former chair of the Argyle Street POWAssociation,he lives in London.

A Social History of the Cloister is a study of life in teachingconvents across France through two hundred years of history, a history that provided the beginnings and in-

legal and notarial records, and memoirs of famouswomen who passed through monastery doors to thechronicles, letters, and other little-known writings pro-duced by nuns for and about themselves.Working fromthese accounts, Rapley is able to provide a far morecomplex picture of women who, as a whole, were muchless otherworldly than the older convent literature wouldhave us believe, much less thwarted and unhappy than

their detractors have long maintained, and much lessirrelevant than some historians have assumed. She chipsaway at the dehumanizing stereotypes that have oftenbeen used to describe these nuns to show the essentialhumanity of these women.

The Hudsons Bay Company Archives is one of the worldsmost complete archival collections and a nationaltreasure. Protected in the vaults of the Archives of Manitoba, its documents trace the history of the furtrade,North American exploration, the growth of a retailempire, and the evolution of Canada as a country.Keepersof the Record offers the first comprehensive look at thedevelopment of the Hudsons Bay Company Archives overthree centuries.

Deidre Simmons places the archives within thehistorical context of the Company, England, and Canada,

as well as British and Canadian archival traditions.Keepersof the Record is abundantly illustrated with archivalphotographs that evoke the texture and slightly mustysmell of soft leather and crisp vellum and the ghostlypresence of the people who created the pristine script,writing by candlelight in unheated (or overheated,depending on the season) dwellings in the wilderness of Hudson Bay or in the centre of London.

an engrossing account of the chronicling of a majorpart of Canadas history. Anyone interested in western or

Did slavery exist in Montreal, and if so what did it looklike? Frank Mackey grapples with this question inDonewith Slavery , a study of black Montrealers in the eighty

years between the British Conquest and the union of Lower and Upper Canada.Through close examination of archival and con-

temporary sources, Mackey uncovers largely unknownaspects of the black transition from slavery to freedom.While he considers the changing legal status of slavery,much of the book provides a detailed and nuancedreconstruction of the circumstances of black Montrealersand their lived experience.The resulting picture isremarkably complex, showing the variety of occupationsheld by blacks, the relationships they had with those they

served, their encounters with the judicial and politicalsystems, and the racial mingling that came withintermarriage and apprenticeships.Done with Slavery casts the categories of blackness and slavery in a newlight, showing that broad histories of the phenomenonmust begin to take into account the specifics of the livesof marginal black populations.

Done with Slavery is an invitation to look at a colonialsociety through the prism of documented black exper-ience, revealing that the roots of the present are neitheras wholesome as some would hope nor as bitter as

others might suppose.

In the 1930s, Chief William Berens shared with anthro-pologist A. Irving Hallowell a remarkable history of hislife, as well as many personal and dream experiences thatheld special significance for him. Most of this materialhas never been published.

Because the elderly chief wanted his visitor tounderstand the Ojibwe world, and because Hallowell wasdeeply interested in his subject matter and was such agood listener, Berens freely related his dreams and otherstories about encounters with powerful beings. The factthat he also shared traditional myths in summer, when

Ojibwe people thought it dangerous to discuss suchthings, shows the depth of his relationship withHallowell. Berens reminiscences and story and myth textsare unparalleled as sources for the life, experiences, andoutlook of this important Ojibwe leader, and for theinsights they provide into the history and culture of hispeople.

A. Irving Hallowell (18921974) was an Americananthropologist who taught for most of his life at theUniversity of Pennsylvania.Jennifer S.H. Brown ,FRSC,is

director of the Centre for Ruperts Land Studies and holdsa Canada Research Chair in Aboriginal history at theUniversity of Winnipeg.Susan Elaine Gray is an award-winning scholar of Northern Algonquian history andcultures.

While the transition to Christianity in the CanadianArctic occurred between the end of the eighteenthcentury and the 1950s, the various and complex

transformations that happened during this time havenot been fully understood.Using archival material and oral testimony collected

during workshops in Nunavut between 1996 and 2008,Frdric Laugrand and Jarich Oosten provide a nuancedlook at Inuit religion, offering a strong counter- narrativeto the idea that traditional Inuit culture declined post-contact.They show that setting up a dichotomy betweena past identified with traditional culture and a presentinvolving Christianity obscures the continuity anddynamics of Inuit society, which has long borrowed and

adaptedoutside elements.They argue that bothShamanism and Christianity are continually changing inthe Arctic and ideas of transformation and transition arenecessary to understand both how the ideology of ahunting society shaped Inuit Christian cosmology andhow Christianity changed Inuit shamanic traditions.

Inuit Shamanism and Christianity is particularly usefulin distinguishing between the influence of Anglican,Catholic, and, more recently, Pentecostal and Evangelicalmovements and in delineating the ways in whichShamanism still influences modern life in Inuit

communities.

Current dogma holds that all cultures and moral valuesare conditional, nothing human is innate, and Einsteinproved that the whole universe isrelative.Challenging

this position,William Gairdner argues that relativism isnot only logically and morally self-defeating but thatprogress in scientific and intellectual disciplines hasactually strengthened the case for absolutes, universals,and constants of nature and human nature.

Gairdner refutes the popular belief in culturalrelativism by showing that there are hundreds of well-established cross-culturalhuman universals.He thendiscusses the many universals found in physics aswell as Einsteins personal regret at how his work wasmisinterpreted by the publics eagerness to promote

relativism.Gairdner also gives a lively account of themany universals of human biology, including thecontroversial topic of universal gender differences orbrain sex. He then looks at universal concepts of bothnatural and international law,and ends by discussinglanguage theory. He shows how philosophers fromNietzsche to Derrida have misused linguistic conceptsto justify their relativism, even though a sustained andsuccessful effort by serious scientists and philosophersof language has revealed myriad universals of humanlanguage, ranging from language acquisition, to word-

order, to Universal Grammar.

William D. Gairdner is a best-selling author, businessman,and independent scholar. His most recent books areCanadas Founding Debates and The Trouble withDemocracy .

InSanctifying Misandry , Katherine Young and PaulNathanson challenge an influential version of moderngoddess religion, one that undermines sexual equality

and promotes hatred in the form of misandry the sexistcounterpart of misogyny.To set the stage, the authors discuss two massively

popular books Dan BrownsThe Da Vinci Codeand RianeEislersThe Chalice and the Blade both of which rely ona feminist conspiracy theory of history. They then showhow some goddess feminists and their academic sup-porters have turned what Christians know as the Fall of Man into the fall of men. In the beginning, accordingto three documentaryfilms, our ancestors lived in anegalitarian paradise under the aegis of a benevolent great

goddess. But men either rebelled or invaded, replacingthe goddess with gods and establishing patriarchies thathave oppressed women ever since. In the end, however,women will restore the goddess and therefore paradiseas well. The book concludes with several case studies of modern goddess religion and its effects on mainstreamreligion.

Young and Nathanson show that we can move beyondnot only both gynocentrism and androcentrism but alsoboth misandry and misogyny.

Katherine K. Young is James McGill Professor of religiousstudies at McGill University.Paul Nathanson is aresearcher in religious studies at McGill University. Theyare co-authors of Spreading Misandry: The Teaching of Contempt for Men in Popular Culture and LegalizingMisandry: From Public Shame to Systemic Discrimination Against Men and are currently working on the concludingvolume of the series Transcending Misandry:FromFeminist Ideology to Intersexual Dialogue .

The Supreme Court of Canada decision in theMarshallcase asserted sweeping Native treaty rights and gen-erated intense controversy. InPower without Law Alex

Cameron enlivens the debate over judicial activism withan unprecedented examination of the details of theMarshall case, analyzing the evidence and procedure inthe trial court and tracing the legal arguments throughthe Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Cameron argues that there were critical defects in theprocess the successful argument at the Supreme Courtof Canada was never tested in the lower courts, theCrowns expert was precluded from testifying about avital document, the Courts analysis does not accord withthe historical evidence, and the treaty rights are incon-

sistent with the colonial law of Nova Scotia.Concluding that theMarshall decision was the resultof incautious judicial activism,Power without Law chal-lenges us to reconsider the role of our courts in theCharter era.

Alex M. Cameron studied law at Oxford and DalhousieUniversities and practices constitutional litigation inNova Scotia.

Aboriginal policy and claims negotiation in Canada isseen to be a murky and perplexing world that hasbecome an important public issue and has significant

policy implications for government spending. Aboriginalland policy in Canada began as an Aboriginal initiative. InNo Place for Fairness, David McNab a long time advisoron land and treaty rights for both government and FirstNations groups looks at the Bear Island Indigenousrights case, initiated by theTeme-Augama Anishinabe,to explore why governments fail to deal effectively withAboriginal land claims.

The book includes a survey of the historical back-ground of the Bear Island claim followed by a morepersonal series of reflections about what happened as

the claim encountered decades of policy hurdles, courtcases, public protests, and above all resistance by theTemagami First Nation. McNab provides details of howministers and their senior officials resisted real effortsto resolve problems as well as examples of field staff re-sisting government attempts at resolution.He also showsthat government entities such as the Indian Commissionof Ontario and the Native Affairs Directorate were largelyused asmailboxes where successive federal andprovincial governments sent things they wanted to bury.

No Place for Fairnessis the story of what happens

when Aboriginal peoplespolitical rights are crammedinto the Euro-Canadian legal system.

What is this thing that seems powerful and omnipresentbut is physically worthless just a piece of paper or adigit on a computer screen? How does it work? And how

far can we control the power that it has over our lives?These are some of the questions explored in this timelybook by philosopher and hedge-fund manager EricLonergan.

Economics, says Lonergan, has ignored the abstractproperties of money that were not part of its originaldesign but lie at the heart of moneys mysterious powerand are the key to understanding its control over us.While economists have based their work on the idea thatour relationship to money is rational, Lonergan arguesthat not all our reactions to it make sense.For instance,

for many money creates far more anxiety than circum-stances warrant. Lonergan provides a compelling analysisof the tension between moneys capacity to assist us inour lives, its propensity to create instability, and its abilityto distort our values.

Eric Lonergan is a macro hedge-fund manager at M&GInvestments, London.

Faith is a word that points in different directions. It isoften used as a synonym for the more formal expressionof religion,yet it also refers to an aspect of religion

associated with individualism, which can express itself as a stubborn irrationality and disdain for evidence, e.g.blind faithor leap of faith. It also has a wider positivesecular meaning referring to a determined optimism ora visionary confidence.Faith thus encapsulates ourambivalence towards a religious worldview,suggestingboth dubious irrationalism and profound, courageousidealism and providing an excellent place to begin toreflect on the place of religion in our culture.

Theo Hobson draws on the Jewish and Christiantraditions to unpack the concept of faith, asking whether

faith is dependent on religion, or whether it is also ageneral secular phenomenon. Is there such a thing asfully secular faith or is our faith always destined to referback to some form of religious faith? Is faith an exis-tential necessity? In answering these questions Hobsonprovides a stimulating meditation on the notion of faithin our lives.

Theo Hobson is a Christian theologian and writesregularly forThe Times, theTablet , and theSpectator .

If science frames our lives, how should we relate to it?Steve Fullers lively and provocative book explores what

it might mean to live scientifically.Can science give asense of completeness to ones life? Can it account for allthat it means to be human? And does science add valueto anything one does in life? In exploring these questions,Fuller argues that science is undergoing its own versionof secularisation. It is not that people are losing theirfaith in science but that they are no longer willing toconform to a specific orthodoxy upheld by a speciallyanointed class ofscience priests.In a sense, says Fuller,we are now all scientists.Taking science into our ownhands, we have become emboldened to affirm ideas and

claims that conform to our own or our communitysexperiences even if they go against the authorisedexperience of the laboratory.

Steve Fuller is professor of sociology at the Universityof Warwick.

Ethics and Experience presents a wide-ranging andthought-provoking introduction to the question, firstposed by Socrates,How is life to be lived? It treats ethics

as a single and broadly unified field of inquiry in whichthe abstract questions of metaethics and the real-worldissues of applied ethics are immediately and directlyconnected.

Tim Chappell explores the connections and thetensions between happiness and virtue, reason andcommitment, motivation and justification, and objectivityand personal significance. And he re-examines familiartheories in normative ethics such as utilitarianism,virtueethics, Kantianism,and intuitionism from a fresh andrevealing perspective.The book is an excellent primer

for students taking courses on moral philosophy.

Unusual and perhaps unique in its combination of virtues. It brings together discussion of all the majortopics in contemporary moral philosophy in a clear andhelpfully critical way. At the same time, it advancesimportant theses about the scope of moral concern, thenature of personal responsibility, and the role of moraltheory in the good life.Chris Tollefsen,University of South Carolina

Tim Chappell is professor of philosophy at The OpenUniversity.

Martin Heidegger is one of the most influential andcontroversial philosophers of the twentieth century. Hiswritings are also notoriously difficult and the pivotal

concepts of his thought are for many the source of bothfascination and frustration. Yet any student of philosophyneeds to become acquainted with his thought.MartinHeidegger: Key Conceptsis designed to facilitate this. Eachchapter introduces and explains a key Heideggerianconcept or a cluster of closely related concepts. Together,the chapters cover the full range of Heideggers thoughtin its early, middle, and later phases.The book providesboth a comprehensive introduction to Heideggers workfor the beginning student and an accessible reference formore advanced readers interested in particular aspects

of Heideggers thought.

Taking Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke,Berkeley, andHume in turn, Janice Thomas presents an authoritativeand critical assessment of each of these canonical

thinkersviews of the notion of mind. She examines eachphilosophers position on five key topics: the metaphysicalcharacter of minds and mental states; the nature andscope of introspection and self-knowledge; the nature of consciousness; the problem of mental causation, and thenature of representation and intentionality. The expo-sition and examination of their positions is informed bypresent-day debates in the philosophy of mind and thephilosophy of psychology so that readers get a clear senseof the importance of these philosophers ideas, manyof which continue to define our current notions of the

mental.Time and again,philosophers return to the great earlymodern rationalist and empiricist philosophers forinstruction and inspiration. Their views on the philosophyof mind are no exception and, as Thomas shows, theyhave much to offer contemporary debates.

An excellent book. Its single greatest strength is the easewith which Thomas weaves in contemporary scholarlydiscussions (among either historians of philosophy orphilosophers of mind) with her text: she does this very

successfully, without getting lost in scholarly details.Charlie Huenemann,Utah State University

Janice Thomas is a fellow of Heythrop College, Universityof London,where she was formerly head of theDepartment of Philosophy.

Cosmopolitanism is a demanding and contentious moralposition. It urges us to embrace the whole world in ourmoral concerns and to apply the standards of impartiality

and equity across boundaries of nationality, race, religionor gender in a way that would have been unheard of evenfifty years ago. It suggests a range of virtues the cosmo-politan individual should display: tolerance, justice, pity,righteous indignation at injustice, generosity toward thepoor and starving, care for the global environment, andthe willingness to take responsibility for change on aglobal scale.This book explains and espouses the valuesof cosmopolitanism,adjudicates between various formsof cosmopolitanism, and defends it against its critics.

Cosmopolitanism highlights the ethical issues inherent

in such problems and identifies the moral obligationsthat individuals, multinational corporations, andgovernments might have in relation to them.Whileespousing a cosmopolitan form of global ethics, a liberalform of politics, sustainable and just forms of businesspractice, and an internationalist approach to globalconflict and governance, it seeks to present as many sidesof the ethical debates as can be supported by reasonableargument. Discussing the work of Kwame AnthonyAppiah, Seyla Benhabib, Martha Nussbaum,ThomasPogge, John Rawls,Amartya Sen,Henry Shue, Peter Singer

and others, this book provides a clear and accessiblesurvey of cosmopolitanism and analyses the reality of the rights and responsibilities that it espouses.

The new edition of this widely used and respectedtextbook includes three new chapters on conditionallogic. Other chapters have been revised and updated,

making the second edition a fully comprehensive intro-duction to modal logics and their application. Unlikemost modal logic textbooks, which are both forbiddingmathematically and short on philosophical discussion,Modal Logics and Philosophy focuses on showing howuseful modal logic can be as a tool for formalphilosophical analysis.

In Part 1, the reader is introduced to some standardsystems of modal logic and provided with a series of exercises that encourage proficiency in manipulatingthese logics. Girle emphasizes possible world semantics

for modal logics and its formal method,Jeffrey-styletruth-trees, in which standard truth-trees are extendedin a simple and transparent way to take possible worldsinto account. Part 2 explores the applications of modallogic to philosophical issues such as truth, time, pro-cesses, knowledge and belief, and obligation andpermission.

Rod Girle is the best logic teacher that I know. All thosewho want a non-technical introduction to modal logicand its applications,not just Girles own students, will

now be able to benefit from his outstanding pedagogicskills.Graham Priest, University of Queensland

Rod Girle is senior lecturer in philosophy at the Universityof Auckland.

Through a study of argument, science, art, and humanintelligence,Louis Groarke explores and builds on a lineof Aristotelian thought that traces the origins of logic

and knowledge to a mental creativity that is able to leapto insightful and truthful conclusions on the basis of restricted evidence.

InAn Aristotelian Account of Induction Groarkediscusses the intellectual process through which weaccess thefirst principlesof human thought the mostbasic concepts, the laws of logic, the universal claims of science and metaphysics, and the deepest moral truths.Following Aristotle and others, Groarke situates the firststirrings of human understanding in a creative capacityfor discernment that precedes knowledge, even logic.

Relying on a new historical study of philosophicaltheories of inductive reasoning from Aristotle to thetwenty-first century, Groarke explains how Aristotle offersa viable solution to the so-called problem of induction,while offering new contributions to contemporaryaccounts of reasoning and argument and challengingthe conventional wisdom about induction.

In recovering and developing philosophical ideas thathave been largely overlooked or misrepresented by morerecent sources, An Aristotelian Account of Induction makesa major contribution to the historical study of philosophy

and to critical debate.

While it is often thought that a serious theism is largely

incompatible with a radical ontological pluralism,MarkMcLeod-Harrison defends the claim that ontologicalrelativism not only requires theism but is consistent withtraditional Christianity.

Building primarily on the work of Nelson Goodmanand Michael Lynch,McLeod-Harrison spells out what isright and what is missing from contemporary pluralism.Proposing a new defence, he explains the need for Godand shows how and why radical relativistic pluralism isconsistent with traditional Christianity. He also exploreshow pluralism can be defended against the notorious

consistency challengeand analyses the relationshipsamong noetic irrealism, pluralism, necessity, Gods nature,theories of truth, and idealism.

Philosophers working in the field of realistic/antirealistic metaphysics, theologians struggling withhow to put traditional Christian claims together withour postmodern situation, and those interested in a newframework for the integration of faith and theorizingwill findMake/Believing the World(s) of great interest.

Mark S. McLeod-Harrison is professor of history, George

Fox University, and the author of Repairing Eden andRationality and Theistic Belief .

This volume of Is It Possible to Live this Way , a translation

of Luigi GiussanisSi Pu Vivere Cos?, addresses the virtueof charity. A compilation of Giussanis conversations with young people who have chosen the path of the con-secrated life in the Church that is, have chosen to livetheir lives in the world according to the evangelicalcounselsof poverty,chastity, and obedience it proposesan unusual yet reasonable approach to living as aChristian.

As in all his works, Giussani encourages young peopleto be serious about their own existence and loyal to theirexperience.The conversations reported here are fasci-

nating and insightful, providing support for a way of lifethat today is frequently questioned, rejected,or censured.

Monsignor Luigi Giussani (19222005) was the founderof the Catholic lay movement Communion and Liberationin Italy.His works are available in fifteen languages andinclude the trilogyThe Religious Sense, At the Origin of the Christian Claim ,andWhy the Church?.

According to conventional historical wisdom, Irishnationalism in Canada was a marginal phenomenon overshadowed by the more powerful movement in the

United States and eclipsed in Canada by the OrangeOrder. The nine contributors in this book argue otherwise and in doing so make a major and original contributionto our understanding of the Irish experience in Canadaand the place of Irish-Canadian nationalism within aninternational context. Focusing on the period 1820 to1920, they examine political, religious,and culturalexpressions of Irish-Canadian nationalism as it respondedto Irish events and Canadian politics.They also look attensions within the movement between those whoargued that Ireland should share the same freedom

that Canada enjoyed within the British Empire andrevolutionary republicans who wanted to liberate bothIreland and Canada from the yoke of British imperialism.
