Keep True: A Life in Politics

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pawley, Howard / Moist, Paul, PUBLISHER: University of Manitoba Press, Howard Pawley served as Premier of Manitoba during one of the most turbulent periods in the province's history. Not since the days of Louis Riel has the province faced such intense and divisive issues as constitutional reform and French-language rights as it did during the s, when Manitoba took centre stage in setting social policies that would affect Canada's national identity. Howard Pawley's political principles were first tested in the fight to bring public auto insurance to Manitoba. In Keep True, he describes this early political battle, and the many that would follow -- human rights and marriage law reform; the explosive French-language debate that left the province caught between the federal government and Quebec separatists; the CF-18 fighter jet controversy; and the doomed negotiations of the Meech Lake Accord. He tells us what went right and what went wrong, offering unique insight into current national debates. From his first winning campaign while confined to a hospital bed to the sudden fall of his government at the hands of a rogue political insider, Pawley's memoirs are an engaging and refreshingly honest look at a political career that had a profound effect on a province and its people.

The Dynamic Architecture of a Developing Organism: An

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Beloussov, L. V., PUBLISHER: Springer, This book is the first comprehensive attempt to consider the development of organisms as a multi-level feedback-linked self-organizing process. Accordingly, the data related to morphogenetic cell activities and to the development of entire organisms are reconsidered and reformulated in terms of theories of symmetry and self-organization, which is described in non-specialist terms. An important role for biomechanical feedback is emphasized. Two opposing approaches to development are outlined, a genocentric' one and a morphocentric' one, and the possibility of their combination is discussed. Unlike other books recently published in biotheoretical and biomathematical fields, this book is centered around developmental problems. Audience: Students and researchers in biology, biomechanics and mathematical modelling.

A Relational Paradigm..... Patterns for Change

ISBN: , SKU: , PUBLISHER: Trafford Publishing, A Relational Paradigm..... Patterns for Change contains the basic axioms or premises of a world view. This relational world view can reconcile the differences in conflicting views that exist in our world (between East and West, Democrat and Republican, science and religion). The book provides the basic patterns of how these twofold axioms manifest themselves through the threefold, fourfold, and fifth business into reality. These axioms and patterns are then applied to the real world. The book contains theory and application of the relational paradigm to organizations and computers. In the application to computers RS (Relational Structure) is a theory and technology to handle the storage of data. RL (Root Language) is the generic patterns of language and can be used to handle computer code. A fundamental shift in orientation of the relational paradigm from the existing paradigm is in the relationship between people and systems. In our existing paradigm, systems take precedence over people. We are taught how the system operates, and we learn to adapt. In the relational paradigm, the system can adapt to the individual as well as the individual to the system. The users of the system are in a position to control rather than simply respond to the system. Systems are to be used rather than to be served. In the relational paradigm the injunction changes from, "If you want to know this, do this," to "If you want to understand this, use these."
