By William Holt

This is a really great book that really opens your eyes to the use of hokey-pokey snakeoil based teething pain treatments that aren't Tylenol or Motrin based. Or then something else entirely that has nothing to do

Series: Heritage Harlequin in Hogtown George Luscombe and Toronto Workshop Productions Electronic book text, PDF Neil Carson 9781442631656 $53.00 PERFORMING ARTS Jan 01, 1995

Toronto Workshop Productions was Toronto's first 'alternative' theatre, and for thirty years, from 1959 until its closure in 1989, it introduced audiences to a radically new form of theatre. Neil Carson's in-depth history of TWP traces the fortunes of many of its actors, writers, designers, and technicians -- but the troupe's colourful artistic director, George Luscombe, is its central character. George Luscombe brought Toronto a new form of theatre based on the techniques and theories he developed during the four years he worked with Joan Litt... + Read More

Series: Heritage Spenser's Famous Flight Electronic book text, PDF Patrick Cheney 9781442631663 $84.00 LITERARY CRITICISM Dec 15, 1993

In Spenser's famous Flight, Patrick Cheney challenges the received wisdom about the shape and goal of Spenser's literary career. He contends that Spenser's idea of a literary career is not strictly the convential Virgilian pattern of pastoral to epic, but a Christian revision of that pattern in light of Petrarch and the Reformation.Cheney demonstrates that, far from changing his mind about his career as a result of disillusionment, Spenser embarks upon and completes a daring progress that secures his status as an Orphic poet.In October, Spenser... + Read More

Series: Heritage Non-Euclidean Geometry Fifth Edition 5th edition Electronic book text, PDF H.S.M. Coxeter 9781442653207 $84.00 MATHEMATICS Dec 15, 1965

The name non-Euclidean was used by Gauss to describe a system of geometry which differs from Euclid's in its properties of parallelism. Such a system was developed independently by Bolyai in Hungary and Lobatschewsky in Russia, about 120 years ago. Another system, differing more radically from Euclid's, was suggested later by Riemann in Germany and Cayley in England. The subject was unified in 1871 by Klein, who gave the names of parabolic, hyperbolic, and elliptic to the respective systems of Euclid-Bolyai-Lobatschewsky, and Riemann-Cayley. Si... + Read More

Series: Heritage A Laboratory Guide to the Anatomy of The Rabbit Second Edition 2nd edition Electronic book text, PDF Edward Craigie 9781442631670 $32.95 MEDICAL Jan 01, 1966

The present work does not in any way aim to replace Bensley's Practical Anatomy of the Rabbit, which has long since proved its value beyond question. The attempt has been to meet a need for a shorter and less detailed laboratory guide adapted to courses for which Bensley's Anatomy has been found too extensive. Classes for which the present book is designed have assignments of time for this subject varying from about twenty-four hours to about sixty hours. Some of them have two-hour periods and some have three-hour periods. Some, moreover, have ... + Read More

Series: Heritage A Jamaican Plantation The History of Worthy Park 1670-1970 Electronic book text, PDF Michael Craton 9781442631687 $74.00 HISTORY Jan 01, 1970

Worthy Park has archives covering much of its three-hundred year history. Using these records, the authors have written the first complete history of a West Indian sugar estate. However, this is not just the story of a single Jamaican plantation and its people over three hundred years; the study reveals, in microcosm, the social and economic development of the area.

Series: Heritage José Bergamín A Critical Introduction, 1920-1936 Electronic book text, PDF Nigel Dennis 9781442631694 $53.00 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY Jan 01, 1986

Writer, critic, and cultural activist José Bergamín (1895-1983) was unjustly relegated to the sidelines of contemporary Spanish intellectual life for reasons that have more to do with his political dissidence and long periods of exile than with the interest and importance of his written work. This book represents the first attempt to come to terms with that work. Professor Dennis's study focuses on the period 1920-1936, the so-called silver age of Spanish literature, during which Bergamín rose to prominence alongside a group of superlatively gi... + Read More

Series: Heritage The Relation between Physical and Mental Illness The Physical Status of Psychiatric Patients at a Multiphasic Screening Survey Electronic book text, PDF Michael Eastwood 9781442631700 $38.95 MEDICAL Jan 01, 1975

The relation between mind and body has been keen of interest since antiquity. The author surveys the approaches to the subject from the observational to the experimental level. He presents the findings of a study carried out, at a community health screening survey, to test the association between physical and psychiatric disorder. The methodological difficulties of this kind of study, such as sampling the general population and reliable measurement of clinical states, are described. The results of the study, which confirm the two types of morbi... + Read More

Series: Heritage In Defence of Canada Volume I From the Great War to the Great Depression Electronic book text, PDF James Eayrs 9781442631717 $90.00 HISTORY Jan 01, 1964

The years from 1919 to 1935 were not years in which defence was of pressing importance to the majority of Canadian politicians, yet this does not mean that the history of Ottawa's defence policies in this period of 'the fire-proof house' is dull or trivial. Professor Eayrs has had access to most of the documents, files, and diaries of these years, and from them has evolved a fascinating and well-written account of the attitudes and thoughts - and personalities - dominant at this time. Included in this survey are the story of the expedition to S... + Read More

Series: Heritage In Defence of Canada Volume II Appeasement and Rearmament Electronic book text, PDF James Eayrs 9781442631724 $63.00 HISTORY Jan 01, 1965

In Defence of Canada: Appeasement and Rearmament is a companion and sequel to Eayrs' In Defence of Canada: From the Great War to the Great Depression (Toronto 1964). Like Volume I, Volume II rejects as outmoded and misleading the traditional division of national security policy into two compartments, one called foreign policy, the other, defence policy. Like Volume I, Volume II is meant to demonstrate that the military and diplomatic components of national security policy are, and ought to be, indissolubly combined, in study and analysis, as we... + Read More

Series: Heritage In Defence of Canada Volume III Peacemaking and Deterrence Electronic book text, PDF James Eayrs 9781442631731 $100.00 HISTORY Jan 01, 1972

The first two volumes of this outstanding history of Canada's defence and foreign policy have drawn unanimous acclaim from scholars and critics alike. Richard Preston said of the first volume that is 'opens up a new chapter in Canadian historiography' and of the second that is 'amply lives up to the promise of the earlier epoch-making book.' Kenneth McNaught stated: 'There could not be more important reading for anyone trying to apprehend the tenacious traditions underlying our present position in world affairs.' The third volume has been descr... + Read More

Series: Heritage Diplomacy and its Discontents Electronic book text, PDF James Eayrs 9781442631748 $48.95 HISTORY Jan 01, 1971

James Eayrs is a keen and articulate observer of international politics. His incisive critiques of the moral turpitude and inefficiency of the diplomatic profession in Right and Wrong in Foreign Policy and Fate and Will in Foreign Policy provoked unflattering attention and attempts at rebuttal by the statesmen and politicians who shape our foreign policy. This volume makes these two controversial studies available once more, bringing them up to date with discussions of the 'October crisis' in Quebec and other recent events, and incorporating th... + Read More

Series: Heritage Right and Wrong in Foreign Policy Electronic book text, PDF James Eayrs 9781442631755 $27.95 POLITICAL SCIENCE Jan 01, 1966

The Plaunt Lectures for 1965 deal with the perennial problem of moral man in immoral society, the society in question being the international states-system. An examination of the working of that system discloses that the scope for wrong-doing by the makers of foreign policy has, since 1945, enlarged rather than contracted. Deceit, treachery, and cruelty are held to be the characteristic manifestations of modern statecraft, rather than exceptional or aberrational. An attempt is made to discover why this should be so. The traditional attitudes to... + Read More

Series: Heritage The Art of the Possible Government and Foreign Policy in Canada Electronic book text, PDF James Eayrs 9781442631762 $58.00 HISTORY Jan 01, 1961

This study, admirable in the logic of its organization and in the freshness of its style, provides an absorbing account of historical developments and current practices in the making of Canada's foreign policy. It analyses carefully and vividly the way in which the prime minister and members of his cabinet, members of the civil service, Parliament, and the military establishment have come together in peace and war to discover "the possible" for Canada's relations with other countries.

Series: Heritage The Economic Effects of Disarmament What will happen if Britain disarms? Electronic book text, PDF The Economist Intelligence Unit 9781442631779 $53.00 POLITICAL SCIENCE Dec 15, 1963

This study, sponsored by the United World Trust, is the most detailed work to have been published on the results of disarmament on the British economy. It examines the consequences of the withdrawal of defence expenditures on industry and employment, and suggests how defence spending could be replaced in order to create new civil demand. The book provides precise and objective statistical analysis, which is much needed in this field. Both method and conclusions will be of interest in all countries to those concerned with public policy and the f... + Read More

Series: Heritage A Legacy of Lyrics Electronic book text, PDF Florence Hester Edgar 9781442631786 $27.95 LITERARY CRITICISM Dec 15, 1946

After Florence Hester Edgar passed away in 1944, there was found among her effects a quantity of compositions in prose and verse almost ready for publication. From this literary bequest has been selected the poetry that follows. Some poems were published in the daily press of Ottawa, and others in a small brochure. But most of the poems are now offered to the reading public for the first time, and the editor bespeaks for them a cordial reception.

Series: Heritage The Enduring Word A Centennial History of Wycliffe College Electronic book text, PDF Arnold Edinborough 9781442631793 $38.95 EDUCATION Dec 15, 1978

Since Wycliffe College was founded 100 years ago as an Anglican theological college in Toronto, it has had six principals. To celebrate the influence they and the college have had on the religious life of Canada and other countries, six writers have collaborated to produce The Enduring Word. The lives of the five past principals have been written by Jacob Jocz, T.R. Millman, R.K. Harrison, Alan Hayes, and Robert Finch. Arnold Edinborough's profile of the present principal, Dr Reginald Stackhouse provides insight into both the man and the kinds... + Read More

Series: Heritage Friedrich Schlegel Literary Notebooks 1797-1801 Electronic book text, PDF Hans Eichner 9781442631809 $74.00 LITERARY CRITICISM Dec 15, 1957

Schlegel's notebooks, like those of Coleridge, are complementary to his published writings; they are repositories in which can be traced the growth and continued revision of his ideas. One hundred survived his death, more than half of which have been preserved; of the series of fifteen which deal with literature, none has hitherto been published. Dr Eichner has edited the first three of this series, covering Schlegel's most influential period, the years 1797-1801. In these pages is to be found the only record of the theory of the Roman which he... + Read More

Series: Heritage 'Romantic' and Its Cognates The European History of a Word Electronic book text, PDF Hans Eichner 9781442631816 $116.00 LITERARY CRITICISM Dec 15, 1972

Ever since the word romantic and its many cognates in European languages began to be used as technical terms towards the end of the eighteenth century, the quest for a satisfactory definition of their meanings has continued unabated. This collection of essays traces the history of the word in the major European languages, showing how romantic and its cognates were first introduced, how their usage spread and their connotations proliferated, and how their present usage became established. This book opens with an introduction by the editor, follo... + Read More

Series: Heritage Electromagnetic Distance Measurement Electronic book text, PDF International Association of Geodesy 9781442631823 $74.00 SCIENCE Dec 15, 1967

Electromagnetic distance measurement, by using light and microwaves for direct linear measurements and thus circumventing the need for traditional methods of triangulation, may well introduce a new era in surveying. This book brings together the work of forty-eight geodesists from twenty-five countries. They discuss various new EDM instruments—among them the Tellurometer, Geodimeter, and air- and satellite-borne systems—and investigate the complex sources of error. The book is therefore a unique and comprehensive source on the subject. UNESCO a... + Read More

Series: Phoenix Supplementary Volumes Coastal Demes of Attika A Study of the Policy of Kleisthenes Electronic book text, PDF C.W.J. Eliot 9781442631830 $43.95 HISTORY Dec 15, 1962

The way in which the demes and trittyes of Attika were grouped for the formation of the Kleisthenic tribes is an important historical problem. The ten coastal demes lying between Athens and Sounion constituted the three coastal trittyes for three of the Athenian tribes, and in concentrating his study on these coastal demes Professor Eliot has not only made a substantial contribution to our knowledge of ancient Athens but has come to important conclusions about Kleisthenes' constitution of the tribes.The research for this book was done in Athens... + Read More

Series: Heritage Tariff Procedures and Trade Barriers A Study of Indirect Protection in Canada and the United States Electronic book text, PDF George Elliott 9781442631847 $69.00 BUSINESS & ECONOMICS Dec 15, 1955

Most Canadians are vividly aware of some of the effects tariffs have on their daily lives. As consumers they pay more than their American neighbours for many articles in everyday use; as producers they often find their markets drastically restricted because of tariff barriers. Indeed, the customs tariff has been a burning issue in the political and economic life of the country for most of its history. It is always a current topic of discussion, in ordinary conversation, in newspapers and periodicals, in scholarly studies, and in surveys and rep... + Read More

Series: Heritage Critical Approaches to Rubén Darío Electronic book text, PDF Keith Ellis 9781442631854 $43.95 LITERARY CRITICISM Dec 15, 1974

Rubén Darío (1867-1916) of Nicaragua was the leader of the important Latin American literary movement known as Modernism. He is considered by many to be the greatest poet in Latin American literature, and the volume of writings devoted to his work since 1884 is perhaps greater than that on any other writer in the history of Spanish American literature. The celebration in 1967 of the centenary of his birth gave rise to a formidable number of new analyses, increasing the need for the classification and assessment of the many studies. In this book... + Read More

Series: Heritage The Vast Design Patterns in W.B. Yeats's Aesthetic Electronic book text, PDF Edward Engelberg 9781442631861 $51.00 LITERARY CRITICISM Dec 15, 1964

In recent years Yeats has been receiving a great deal of critical attention from many aspects. Professor Engelberg here makes a distinctive contribution to the new studies by bringing under discussion the kind of aesthetic views developed by Yeats in order to rationalize his own practice as poet and dramatist. Yeats was pragmatic in his approach and therefore not concerned about formulating a tight critical theory. Recognizing this, the author at the same time skilfully guides the reader through the opinions expressed in the critical essays to ... + Read More

Series: Heritage Canada and the New International Economy Three Essays Electronic book text, PDF H. Edward English 9781487594992 $27.95 BUSINESS & ECONOMICS Dec 15, 1961

The essays presented here arose from a strong feeling that it is very important at the present moment to stimulate thought in Canada on our position in the developing world economy. The authors have been concerned about the inward-looking emphasis in recent Canadian discussions of policy and are asking if a "status quo" approach to commerce is desirable or possible at a time when other nations are endeavouring to strengthen their economies by new adventures in liberal trade, especially in the form of regional trade groups. Peace, prosperity, an... + Read More

This is the last in the series, and it summarizes the conclusions expressed in the previous studies in chapters ... + Read More

The so-called energy crisis that burst upon the world in 1973 was not easily understood by many people. It was neither 'the beginning of the end' nor the first encounter by modern man with the natural result of his prodigality. These papers, collected in two volumes, from energy economists in the United States, Canada, and Britain all indicate that the 'crisis' was and is a short-run problem caused by government action or inaction. The problem may be complex, but it was mishandled, particularly by the United States, in terms of government polic... + Read More

This study of the personality of William Lyon Mackenzie King challenges the view that he led 'a double life. ' Through a blending of psycho-biography and political analysis, Joy Esberey shows how King 's personality traits influenced his political behaviour, and how his personal and public life were an integrated whole, neither contradictory nor unrelated. She explores the various traumas of his early family life, resulting in difficulties with autonomy and adequate occupational and sexual roles. She also discusses the dimensions of neurotic t... + Read More

Few political leaders in Ontario's history have had as lasting an impact on the province, and perhaps on the nation, as Oliver Mowat, premier from 1872 to 1896. Under his leadership Ontario flourished economically, socially, and politically. Among the many political skills that Mowat brought to office, one of the most useful was pragmatism. He was able to establish a rock-solid style that appealed to a wide spectrum of the electorate: rural and urban, Catholic and Protestant. He was also adept at redrawing constituency boundaries and extending ... + Read More

This study explores the policy options a provincial government might consider in extending health care coverage to the purchase of prescription drugs and dental care. It examines the major public policy objectives involved, such as spreading risk, redistributing wealth, and reducing the barriers to care, and evaluates alternative programs in terms of their costs and efficiency as well as their realization of the basic social objectives of health care. Using varied statistics, some drawn from schemes in other provinces, it estimates what differe... + Read More

Ellen Fairclough is perhaps best known as the first woman in Canada to become a federal cabinet minister. John Diefenbaker appointed her Secretary of State in 1957. In the course of her career she also served as Minister of Citizenship and Immigration and Minister responsible for Indian Affairs, and was in charge of the National Gallery, the National Film Board, the Dominion Archives, and the National Library.

This thought-provoking volume, which represents a re-shaping of the Plaunt Lectures delivered at Carleton University, 1960, offers impressions of the art of living in Canada by one who has been deeply concerned with the relationships between our two cultures. The purpose of the author is to stimulate reflection on the genesis and the contemporary status of Canada as a bi-cultural nation. His own method in the book is also that of reflection, rather than didactic exposition. He takes up the manifestations of our two cultures in our two literatur... + Read More

Of all stylistic devices, imagery has the greatest appeal to the imagination, but is also the most likely to offend, either by staleness or by tasteless excess. This volume establishes some of the limitations which govern figurative language in Latin speech and prose by exploring such questions as these: From what physical or social contexts is Latin imagery derived? To what extent is it influenced by the primacy of Greek as a cultural language and the derivation of the earliest Latin literature from Greek models? How are the metaphors expresse... + Read More

This study of Newfoundland is a brilliant combination of first-hand observation, and of research into fascinating source materials. Professor Fay made tours of Newfoundland and of Labrador and examined documentary material in London and the West Country. Both his observations and his source-material are fresh and stimulating, and he writes in his usual lively provocative style. Professor Fay relates the economic history of Newfoundland to the seafaring and commercial background of the Island's first inhabitants. Many parallels can be drawn betw... + Read More

Italian words that resemble words in English but have different meanings are the cause of student bafflement and some hilariously mistaken usage. Examples of falsi amici that continue to amuse teachers of Italian include casino, which is a brothel or mess, not a gambling place, and intossicazione, which is food poisoning, not intoxication. Ronnie Ferguson has confronted the much-neglected problem of `false friends,' or deceptive cognates, with a dictionary which makes it possible for the student of Italian to alert her- or himself to the pi... + Read More

Series: Heritage French Individualist Poetry 1686-1760 An Anthology Electronic book text, PDF Robert Finch 9781487595203 $79.00 LITERARY CRITICISM Dec 15, 1971

This anthology has a double aim: to present a body of poetry, none of it easily available, some of it never before reproduced, and to point up a particular trend, until now nearly lost sight of in the maze of generalizations about eighteenth-century French poetry. This trend, called individualist, in contradistinction to the academic and universalist trends of the century, has been chosen since it is the least known and most original of the three. The individualist poets are avowed moderns, and their attitude toward poetry and their concept of ... + Read More

It has long been the custom to condemn eighteenth-century French poetry outright as generally unworthy of attention. However, in keeping with a recent change of attitude towards this vast and diverse body of literature, Professor Finch here undertakes to isolate a certain group of poets, belonging to the first half of the century, who may appropriately be called individualistes and who are in various ways characteristic of a definite and important trend of their time. The authors he has chosen were selected from the larger group of individualis... + Read More

Series: Heritage The Valley of Vision Blake as Prophet and Revolutionary Electronic book text, PDF Peter Fisher 9781487595241 $63.00 LITERARY CRITICISM Dec 15, 1961

The author of this important contribution to the study of Blake was tragically drowned in a sailing accident when he had almost completed it in manuscript. His was a critical mind of singular erudition and power. As is abundantly evidenced in these chapters which Northrop Frye has prepared for publication. Fisher had made a careful study of Oriental philosophy and of Plato and the Neo-Platonists and this background enabled him to make an original and fruitful analysis of his central interest, Blake. The book is not a study of Blake's sources bu... + Read More
