	ABELLA, IRVING Jewish Life in Canada , Two Centuries of . . . A Coat of Many Colours , Colors Toronto: Key Porter Pub, 1999. First. Soft Cover. Photos. 9 x 9-3/4" 1552631087 1999 Softcover ... Brand new from publisher ... Never opened, Never owned, Never marked ... Gift Giving quality ... 248 pages ... illustrated with B&W photos & historical photos & documents ... In 1738, a young Jewish adventurer named Esther Brandeau arrived in New France disguised as a man ... Her gender and faith were eventually discovered, and when she refused to convert to Catholicism, Esther Brandeau was forced to return to France ... But her courage, tenacity and conviction set the stage for the beginning of Jewish life in Canada ... From Halifax to Victoria, the scope of Canadian Jewish history is rich and diverse ... Jewish fur traders preceeded the arrival of the English in Upper Canada; Victoria was the fist city in British North America to have a Jewish mayor; Jewish women's groups were among the first in Canada to create charitable societies; and workers across the country today are benefiting from the efforts of the Jewish labour force in the early 1900s ... In the 1930s and 1940s, however anti-semitic factions gained strength throughout the country, and as recently as the 1950s Jews were barred from certain professions, hotels and clubs ... Yet the society that emerged from those dark years is a varied and creative mix, a veritable "coat of many colours" of people, traditions and occupations ... illustrated with over 300 photographs and with a text by one of Canada's leading authorities on Canadian Jewish history, this magnificent book presents a surprising and little-known history of a people ... This revised & updated book also contains an inspring new introduction, in which Irving Abella reflects on the challenges facing Jewish Canadians as they enter the new millennium ...

	BAZZANA, KEVIN / GLENN GOULD Glenn Gould , the Life and Art of - Wondrous Strange Toronto: McLelland & Stewart Pub, 2003. 3rd Printing. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Photos. 6 -1/4 x 9-1/4 x 1-1/2 " 0771011016 2003 Hardcover in DJ 3rd printing ... Brand new from publisher ... Never opened, Never owned, Never marked ... Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... 528 pages , with 12 pages of B&W photos + B&W photo of Glenn Gould trying out pianos in Columbia Records 30th Street studio in New York, April 1957 on endpages ... In this brilliant and entertaining biography, the product of 20 years' research, Kevin Bazzana sheds new light on the life of Glenn Gould, as well as his personality, and multifarious work as pianist, writer, broadcaster, and composer ... Looking past the legend of the self-taught and emotionally damaged recluse who "burst out of nowhere" onto the international musical scene in the mid-1950s, he offers a balanced portrait of a complex figure who, while uniquely gifted and genuinely eccentric, was in many ways also a product of his time and place ... Bazzana examines the profound effects on Gould of the social, religious, and cultural milieu of Depression-era Toronto, of his sheltered middle-class upbringing, of his only professional piano teacher, and of the new cultural institutions that arose in Canada after the Second World War ... He offers fresh perspectives on Gould's professional life, too - his brief but colourful concert career, his retirement from concert life in favour of the electronic and print media, his relations with such institutions as the CBC, Columbia Records, and Steinway and Sons ... Drawing on revealing recollections by Gould's friends and colleagues (many interviewed here for the first time) as well as close reading of private papers, Bazzana offers fascinating and original insights into Gould's musical and intellectual development, his famous eccentricities, his lifestyle and beliefs, his secretive sexual life, his hypochondria and mental health, his distinctly Canadian sense of humour, and much else ... Finally, he explores the challenges of Gould's last years - hand problems, family troubles, new creative outlets like film scoring and conducting - and considers the extraordinary posthumous "life" Gould still enjoys more than two decades after his death ... "Wondrous Strange" is generously illustrated with photographs (some of them rare) and facsimiles drawn from Gould's private papers ...

First. Soft Cover. 6 x 9 " 0886273668 2003 Softcover . Brand new from publisher. Never opened , Never owned , Never marked . Gift Giving quality. 197 pages . Formerly known as pig farming - now factory farming - The restructuring of hog production in North America provides a rare clear view into the mechanisms and effects of corporate globalization . And the community-by-community fight to stop the incursion of corporate mega-barns and retain family farms provides an example of effective and gritty local resistance to the most negative aspects of globalization. This book looks at the changes that have resulted in the hog sector and the effects that these changes have had on our family farms, the food we eat, our conditions of work, our communities, and the relationship of governments to corporations and citizens. Through diverse perspectives, this book highlights, not just the Canadian hog sector, but structured forces at work reshaping communities and economies around the world . This places the fight to save the family farm and the fight for more sustainable and responsive local economies within the larger context of a global struggle to restore democracy and economic sanity in the face of runaway corporate power. It is a chronicle of what we have lost, a cautionary tale, and a message of hope for the future.

In 1738, a young Jewish adventurer named Esther Brandeau arrived in New France disguised as a man ... Her gender and faith were eventually discovered, and when she refused to convert to Catholicism, Esther Brandeau was forced to return to France ... But her courage, tenacity and conviction set the stage for the beginning of Jewish life in Canada ... From Halifax to Victoria, the scope of Canadian Jewish history is rich and diverse ... Jewish fur traders preceeded the arrival of the English in Upper Canada; Victoria was the fist city in British North America to have a Jewish mayor; Jewish women's groups were among the first in Canada to create charitable societies; and workers across the country today are benefiting from the efforts of the Jewish labour force in the early 1900s ... In the 1930s and 1940s, however anti-semitic factions gained strength throughout the country, and as recently as the 1950s Jews were barred from certain professions, hotels and clubs ... Yet the society that emerged from those dark years is a varied and creative mix, a veritable "coat of many colours" of people, traditions and occupations ... illustrated with over 300 photographs and with a text by one of Canada's leading authorities on Canadian Jewish history, this magnificent book presents a surprising and little-known history of a people ... This revised & updated book also contains an inspring new introduction, in which Irving Abella reflects on the challenges facing Jewish Canadians as they enter the new millennium ...

	BAZZANA, KEVIN / GLENN GOULD Glenn Gould , the Life and Art of - Wondrous Strange Toronto: McLelland & Stewart Pub, 2003. 3rd Printing. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Photos. 6 -1/4 x 9-1/4 x 1-1/2 " 0771011016 2003 Hardcover in DJ 3rd printing ... Brand new from publisher ... Never opened, Never owned, Never marked ... Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... 528 pages , with 12 pages of B&W photos + B&W photo of Glenn Gould trying out pianos in Columbia Records 30th Street studio in New York, April 1957 on endpages ... In this brilliant and entertaining biography, the product of 20 years' research, Kevin Bazzana sheds new light on the life of Glenn Gould, as well as his personality, and multifarious work as pianist, writer, broadcaster, and composer ... Looking past the legend of the self-taught and emotionally damaged recluse who "burst out of nowhere" onto the international musical scene in the mid-1950s, he offers a balanced portrait of a complex figure who, while uniquely gifted and genuinely eccentric, was in many ways also a product of his time and place ... Bazzana examines the profound effects on Gould of the social, religious, and cultural milieu of Depression-era Toronto, of his sheltered middle-class upbringing, of his only professional piano teacher, and of the new cultural institutions that arose in Canada after the Second World War ... He offers fresh perspectives on Gould's professional life, too - his brief but colourful concert career, his retirement from concert life in favour of the electronic and print media, his relations with such institutions as the CBC, Columbia Records, and Steinway and Sons ... Drawing on revealing recollections by Gould's friends and colleagues (many interviewed here for the first time) as well as close reading of private papers, Bazzana offers fascinating and original insights into Gould's musical and intellectual development, his famous eccentricities, his lifestyle and beliefs, his secretive sexual life, his hypochondria and mental health, his distinctly Canadian sense of humour, and much else ... Finally, he explores the challenges of Gould's last years - hand problems, family troubles, new creative outlets like film scoring and conducting - and considers the extraordinary posthumous "life" Gould still enjoys more than two decades after his death ... "Wondrous Strange" is generously illustrated with photographs (some of them rare) and facsimiles drawn from Gould's private papers ...

First. Soft Cover. 6 x 9 " 0886273668 2003 Softcover . Brand new from publisher. Never opened , Never owned , Never marked . Gift Giving quality. 197 pages . Formerly known as pig farming - now factory farming - The restructuring of hog production in North America provides a rare clear view into the mechanisms and effects of corporate globalization . And the community-by-community fight to stop the incursion of corporate mega-barns and retain family farms provides an example of effective and gritty local resistance to the most negative aspects of globalization. This book looks at the changes that have resulted in the hog sector and the effects that these changes have had on our family farms, the food we eat, our conditions of work, our communities, and the relationship of governments to corporations and citizens. Through diverse perspectives, this book highlights, not just the Canadian hog sector, but structured forces at work reshaping communities and economies around the world . This places the fight to save the family farm and the fight for more sustainable and responsive local economies within the larger context of a global struggle to restore democracy and economic sanity in the face of runaway corporate power. It is a chronicle of what we have lost, a cautionary tale, and a message of hope for the future.
