The Canadian Regime: An Introduction to Parliamentary
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Malcolmson, Patrick / Myers, Richard, PUBLISHER: University of Toronto Press, This clear and readable account of Canada's political institutions has now been updated to reflect developments up to and beyond the Canadian federal election. Focusing more on principles than on arcane detail, the authors explain why our institutions are the way they are. In so doing, they improve the reader's ability to assess the implications of various proposals for reform of our institutions (such as electing senators, recall of MPs, and review of Supreme Court nominees). Comments from previous editions:.".. far and away the best of the Canadian government texts I've seen." - David J. Climenhaga, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology "Malcolmson and Myers have written a comprehensive and coherent account of Canadian government that is informed by a clear understanding of the purposes, capacities, and limitations of liberal democratic institutions." - Jennifer Smith, Dalhousie University "The Canadian Regime is designed to be an introductory Canadian government text. It fulfills that purpose admirably but I would add that this is a book all Canadians should read and have on their shelves.... It is brief and it is clear, but most especially it provides an outstanding explantion for why Canada's government takes the form it does. Its virtue is that it explains Canada's system instead of merely describing its features. It indicates the underlying rationale of the institutions and processes of government in a way that most descriptive texts do not, for it provides a causal analysis. It is this explanatory quality that makes this text so good. It starts with the basic idea of government and proceeds rationally to the conclusion, building on the fundamental principles of liberal democracy as they have taken shape in Canada. "I believe this book could become a classic in the explanation of our regime. It is a useful tool for understanding current politics and it helps citizens distinguish between foolish and reasonable proposals for change. And, finally, it is written so sensibly and with such clear examples that it works as an 'inoculation' against some of the most disturbing fashions of interpretation among ideologues and the media." - Heidi Studer, University of Alberta Patrick Malcolmson is currently Vice-President (Academic) at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick and formerly served as the Chair of the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission. Richard Myers is Professor of Political Science and former Vice-President (Academic) at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Additives and Crystallization Processes: From Fundamentals
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sangwal, Keshra, PUBLISHER: John Wiley & Sons, Crystal growth technology involves processes for the production of crystals essential for microelectronics, communication technologies, lasers and energy producing and energy saving technology. A deliberately added impurity is called an additive and in different industries these affect the process of crystal growth. Thus, understanding of interactions between additives and the crystallizing phases is important in different processes found in the lab, nature and in various industries. This book presents a generalized description of the mechanisms of action of additives during nucleation, growth and aggregation of crystals during crystallization and has received endorsement from the President of the International Organization for Crystal Growth. It is the first text devoted to the role of additives in different crystallization processes encountered in the lab, nature and in industries as diverse as pharmaceuticals, food and biofuels. A unique highlight of the book are chapters on the effect of additives on crystal growth processes, since the phenomena discussed is an issue of debate between researchers

The Lucky Ones
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mortman, Doris, PUBLISHER: Zebra Books, As the Presidential election heats up, four women compete for the greatest prize of all in a highly charged, male-dominated arena. Zoe Vaughn is the new foreign policy advisor to a senator making a bid for the Presidency -- a man with whom she shares a sizzling past. Congresswoman Georgie Hughes has just been nominated for Vice President, but an illicit love affair could destroy her dreams. Celia Porter, the chief reporter covering the election, can't risk having her own sins exposed -- even if it means betraying a cherished friend. A devastating tragedy rocked Kate Siegel's marriage. Now, she finds herself torn between a reconciliation with her husband and a love affair with someone new. From a campaign trail fraught with unexpected reversals and searing betrayals to the final moment of decision between victory and failure, these friends, enemies, and lovers are all players in a high-stakes game of power and politics in which only one can win.
Guerrilla Nation: My Wars In and Out of Vietnam
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Maclear, Michael, PUBLISHER: Dundurn Group Ltd, In September , Michael Maclear, the first Western television journalist allowed inside North Vietnam, was in Hanoi for CBC-TV when Ho Chi Minh died. He recounted in gripping detail how an entire population had been trained for generations in guerrilla combat. His reporting was highly controversial and led to interference by the RCMP and the U.S. Pentagon. Later Maclear was taken blindfolded to a Hanoi prison for captive U.S. pilots, some of whom condemned the war. President Richard Nixon described the journalist as "duped." At odds with a nervous CBC, Maclear was dismissed as foreign correspondent and then resigned from the network. Recently, Maclear returned to Vietnam and interviewed surviving key figures from the war. In this book he includes startling new information on guerrilla tactics and delivers an impassioned argument for the necessity of journalistic impartiality and integrity that those who care about such things can't afford to miss.

Indian Summer
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schrick, Darrell, PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, When a young Silicon Valley engineer is murdered in an apparent random act of violence there are few tangible leads. The case falls to Detective Sergeant Mike Hurley and his tenacious partner Jim Chan. After investigating the victim''s background, they soon have a list of suspects but no evidence linking them to the crime. They find themselves facing off with their supervisor to conduct the investigation their own way. Hurley is also president of the police union and often at odds with the department bureaucracy. He is devoted to his aging, headstrong Mormon mother, who monitors his conduct from Salt Lake City. He finds solace in music and in the arms of Allison Slater, a San Francisco Symphony violinist.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rowe, Leanne / Kidd, Michael, PUBLISHER: McGraw-Hill Australia, Rediscover the joy of being a great doctor "All would gain from reading this timely and thoughtful book from two of the acknowledged intellectual leaders of the profession."--Professor Trisha Greenhalgh OBE, University College London. 5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW "It is clearly appropriate for physicians around the world....This is an extraordinary one-of-a-kind book for all clinicians as they take time to consider where they are and where they are going in their everyday lives. Well done "--"Doody's Review Service" Advance praise for "First Do No Harm": "A challenging book for the thinking doctor "--Professor John Murtagh, AM (from the foreword)..". medical practice can make for a stressful life and most doctors tend to dodge, rather than confront this impact. "First Do No Harm" starts with the preliminary 'do no harm to your own health as doctor'."--Professor Chris van Weel, President, World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA) "This is a wonderful resource that will make a real difference to the health and effectiveness of medical practitioners. Finding balance and building resilience are challenges for us all in our busy lives and this is just what the doctor ordered."--Chris Mitchell, President of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners "The perfect personal prescription for the busy doctor."-- Professor Deborah Saltman, AM, Brighton and Sussex Medical School. "This inspiring book calls for a more supportive medical culture to assist us to become more resilient doctors."--Dr. Gabrielle Casper, immediate past chair of the Medical Women's International Association "First Do No Harm" provides medical practitioners with information and resources on strategies for self care as an essential element of their professional life. It aims to encourage medical practitioners to recognize and discuss the challenges facing them, promote self care as an integral and accepted part of the professional life of medical practitioners, and assists medical practitioners to develop useful strategies for self care. Rowe and Kidd explore the too often ignored issue of physician self-care and highlight the dangers of ignoring this problem. It is a timely examination of the troubles doctors the world over face regarding their work-life balance and receiving mental health care. The statistics surrounding physician self harm are alarming and even as early as , physicians in England noticed that a higher suicide rate occured among physicians when compared to the general population. This trend has certainly persisted to the present day, with female doctors at particular risk. This excessive risk of suicide among female doctors illuminates the need to tackle issues of stress and mental health experienced by doctors. With their extensive medical and professional experience, the authors have created a legacy to be

A hardworking electrician's son, he wanted to be "the guy who makes things happen." Mulroney pursued that goal through a meteoric career as a labour lawyer, an unswerving partisan for the Conservative cause in Quebec, the president of a major corporation. In , equipped with a deep understanding of Quebec, a small-town sense of social compassion, and skill as a negotiator and businessman, he was ready to take on the nation.

Bart Giamatti: A Profile
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moncreiff, Robert P., PUBLISHER: Yale University Press, This vivid portrait of Bart Giamatti encompasses his entire eventful life but focuses especially on his years at Yale University () and his brief career as a major league baseball executive (). As scholar, teacher, and then university president, Giamatti was an admired and respected figure on campus. He forged his academic career during turbulent decades, and his tenure in baseball was no less contentious, for as commissioner of baseball he oversaw the banishment of Cincinnati's Pete Rose from the game for gambling. The book draws on Giamatti's numerous writings and speeches to illuminate the character and complexities of the man and to understand the values that motivated his leadership. Bart Giamatti was a cultural conservative and institutional moderate at a time when such values were out of favor and under attack. At Yale, as a baseball executive, and indeed in all things, Giamatti championed the related values of freedom and order. Robert P. Moncreiff places Giamatti in the context of major events at Yale, recounts in detail the legal context in which the Pete Rose affair unfolded, and arrives at a nuanced understanding of this memorable man's life.
