National Soul
Examining their social, political, and economic contexts, McKay shows how the murals of this period glorified Canada as a modern nation state, extolled the virtues of commerce and industry, inculcated conventions of gender and race, and shared the intensity of nationalistic sentiment that led to the work of the more renowned painters of Toronto's Group of Seven. Bringing together for the first time a body of Canadian work - civic, commercial, religious, and private - that has been largely ignored by art historians, A National Soul challenges previous histories of Canadian painting. This generously illustrated book reproduces seldom-seen works from across the country, many of which have been moved or destroyed, and includes a comprehensive listing of all works from the period, their original and present locations, and their state of preservation.
Art History
These essays discuss major questions that should arise in courses in bibliography, methodology, and historiography, once the survey courses are left behind.
Statistics
This textbook is intended for use in introductory biostatistics courses for health science, nursing, and biology students. It deals with research designs used for collecting data, methods for summarizing data, and testing hypotheses in health and related fields. The emphasis is on illustrating how statistics are generated and used by practitioners in health fields and interpreting crucial aspects of journal articles. Concepts are stressed rather than the usual computational methods. Every major concept is accompanied by an exercise and correct answers, and these form an integral part of the text.
Iconographie d'une littérature L'
Cet ouvrage retrace les étapes de l'essor du livre au Québec, de son apparition vers 1840 jusqu'à 1940. Quelles sont les conditions d'émergence et de développement de ce fascinant corpus d'oeuvres? De quelle façon l'illustration, conçue en tant que dispositif artistique, évolue-t-elle vers une première modernité associée au maintien des traditions iconographiques locales? Comment enfin, par l'action commune d'illustrateurs, d'auteurs et d'éditeurs, cet art s'oriente-t-il vers une production autonome et originale, nourrie par un processus complexe d'appropriation des modèles étrangers, notamment français? À l'intersection de l'histoire de l'art et de l'histoire du livre, L'iconographie d'une littérature met en lumière l'étonnante singularité de cette production, dans ses aspects iconographiques, techniques et stylistiques.

No Man's Land
What force of will and circumstance drove a woman from a comfortable life painting china tea services to one of hardship and loneliness in the battle zones of France and Belgium following the Great War? For western Canadian artist Mary Riter Hamilton (1868-1954), art was her life’s passion. Her tale is one of tragedy and adventure, from homestead beginnings, to genteel drawing rooms in Winnipeg, Victoria and Vancouver, to Berlin and Parisian art schools, to Vimy and Ypres, and finally to illness and poverty in old age. No Man’s Land is the first biographical study of Hamilton, whose work can be found in galleries and art museums throughout Canada. Young and McKinnon’s meticulous research in unpublished private collections brings to light new correspondence between Hamilton and her friends, revealing the importance of female networks to an artist’s well being. Her letters from abroad, in particular, bring a woman’s perspective into the immediate post-war period and give voice to trying conditions. Hamilton’s career is situated within the context of her peers Florence Carlyle, Emily Carr, and Sophie Pemberton with whom she shared a Canadian and European experience.
