Rumours of War

Toronto: New Press, 1971. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0887700373. Boards show light shelf wear, DJ has heavier shelf wear with chipping and short tears, sun-faded on spine. ; A tight solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. Illustrated with B&W photos and caricatures ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 311 pages; "Rumours of War is both a definitive analysis of the Canada's October Crisis and a profound reflection of the value of individual civil liberties. The kidnapping of James Cross, the murder of Pierre Laporte, the proclamation of the War Measures Act under which hundreds of innocent citizens were arrested and held without trial--all these events have become part of our national consciousness. The authors of this volume maintain that the government of the time overreacted to a marginal threat, making a mockery of our system of civil liberties in the process. Rumours of War is a comprehensive analysis of this crucial period in Canada's history." Sorry but I see it differently having lived in Ottawa at this time, saw troop transports cruising the streets in front of the Parliament buildings and felt safer for it.. The FLQ participants were part of an extremist organisation.. Very Good+ in Very Good- dust jacket .

Historical Atlas of Canada Vol I: From the Beginning to 1800

Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1987. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0802024955. DJ and boards show very light shelf ; A bright, solid book. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. May require extra postage ; Colour Illustrations; 15.0 X 5.8 X 0.2 inches; 198 pages; "A uniquely beautiful record of Canada's early development, this volume of the Historical Atlas of Canada explores the relationship between what is now Canada and its people, from the earliest evidence of human habitation to the beginning of the nineteenth century. The early traces date back some 12000 years. From this starting point at the end of the late Wisconsinan glacial maximum, the atlas provides an unprecedented outline of Canadian prehistory and the early historic period. The first 18 remarkable maps describe the settlements, cultural development, agriculture, and economic systems of the Indian and Inuit peoples of Canada and their predecessors. The volume goes on to illuminate the social and economic impact of European exploitation, trade, and settlements, looking in detail at relations between Europeans and native peoples. Richly detailed plates describe the movements of the new arrivals, the fisheries around Newfoundland and in the Gulf of St Lawrence, the French colonization in Acadia and the St Lawrence valley, the development of agriculture, the growth of towns, the expansion of the fur trade, and its impact on the various native nations and on the West generally.Unlike most historical atlases, which focus on geopolitical events and their territorial consequences, this volume of the Historical Atlas of Canada and its two companion volumes emphasize the circumstances of ordinary life. Much attention is paid to the small agricultural settlements and early towns in which Canadians lived during this period. Large-scale maps show individual settlements; small-scale maps explain how the patterns of distribution and trade shaped the growth of these settlements and, in turn, of Canada. An extraordinarily rich picture of our past emerges from the combination of text and graphic material in this volume, an illustration of Canada's early development that no other document has ever offered. With the other two volumes of the atlas, it presents a splendid visual record of the roots of our society and the evolution of the intensely regional, culturally diverse nation we know today.".

Card covers show very light wear, previous owner's name on front fly leaf. ; A bright, solid book.; Trade PB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 219 pages; This is the life of Jimmy Simpson, "one of the most important guides, outfitters, lodge operators, hunters, naturalists and artists in the Canadian Rockies". Needless to say he was at home in the Rockies, had the respect of the local Stoney Indians for his skill and speed traversing the mountain landscape on snowshoes. This octogenarian earned his title as the best at everything he set out to do. He was born a Brit with little future in 1877. A uncle in charge of his care decided Jimmy's future in England was dim, so in 1896, he was sent off to Canada to find his fortune in the New World.. Very Good+ .

British Columbia a New Historical Atlas

Vancouver BC: Douglas & McIntyre, 2012. Second Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 1926812573. Short tear bottom of DJ and book spine ; Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. ; 13.5 X 10.2 X 1.5 inches; 368 pages; "British Columbia was among the last temperate places on Earth to appear on the map of the world, a function of its position-remote from Europe. When gold was finally discovered in quantity in 1858, leading to the gold rush that created British Columbia as a new colony, the interior was mostly unknown except for the routes blazed by the fur traders seeking the "soft gold" that characterized the exploration of much of Canada. The efforts of the explorers, the fur traders, the gold seekers, and the railway builders all involved the production of maps that showed what they had found, the routes and the settlements, the plans and the strategies that developed the province into what we know today. In British Columbia: A New Historical Atlas, acclaimed map historian Derek Hayes has curated nearly a thousand maps — the majority of which have never been published before —along with concise text, and extensive captions. Added to numerous other illustrations, the result is a geographically visual history, a unique and fascinating viewpoint on our province's past.". Very Good in Very Good dust jacket .
