Blue
Barry Ferguson is Scotland's most gifted soccer player, the heartbeat of Rangers, and the captain of his country. He has grown up in the spotlight, but the fans know only his public face. Now, a star who is notoriously protective of his privacy opens his heart and delivers a no-holds-barred account of his controversial career. Featuring Ferguson's take on all aspects of his eventful journey so far, this title includes details on the firing of Lorenzo Amoruso as the Rangers manager and Ferguson's appointment at the age of only 22; the horrifying night of violence when he was bottled in the face after being sent off in a 6-2 Old Firm defeat; his venture into the Premiership after signing for Blackburn Rovers in 2003; the bust-up that followed with Rangers chairman David Murray; the despair and agony of the broken kneecap he feared had ended his career; and the eventual elation he felt on his return to his boyhood heroes. Ferguson also reveals the details of his secret wedding to Margaret, his Catholic bride, and his pride when his career was recognized by the Queen. Candid and frank, the man behind the headlines is revealed in full.

Prairie Metropolis
At the turn of the twentieth century, Winnipeg was the fastest-growing city in North America. But its days as a diverse and culturally rich metropolis did not end when the boom collapsed. Prairie Metropolis brings together some of the best new graduate research on the history of Winnipeg and makes a groundbreaking contribution to the history of the city between 1900 and the 1980s. The essays in this collection explore the development of social institutions such as the city’s police force, juvenile court, health care institutions, volunteer organizations, and cultural centres. They offer critical analyses on ethnic, gender, and class inequality and conflict, while placing Winnipeg’s experiences in national and international contexts.
Flowers are My Passport
"Have flowers, will travel. From a baby Austin 35 in Christchurch, New Zealand, to chauffeured limousines in Manhattan where J Barry Ferguson designed floral installations for special events. David Rockefeller, Horst, Malcom Forbes and many others of the New York's glitterati were his clients.

And then, when New York was frozen over, JBF led botanical tours to extraordinary places"--Back cover.

O.D. Skelton
When O.D. Skelton became Prime Minister Mackenzie King's foreign policy advisor in 1923, he was already a celebrated critic of the status quo in international and domestic affairs, a loyal Liberal Party man, and a fervent nationalist who believed Canada needed to steer a path independent of Britain. Two years later, he became the permanent head of Canada's Department of External Affairs. Between then and his tragic death in 1941, Skelton created Canada's professional diplomatic service, staffing it with sharp young men such as Lester B. Pearson. Skelton's importance in Ottawa was unparalleled, and his role in shaping Canada's world was formative and crucial. Using research from archives across Canada and around the world, Norman Hillmer presents Skelton not only as a towering intellectual force but as deeply human - deceptively quiet, complex, and driven by an outsize ambition for himself and for his country. O.D. Skelton is the definitive biography of the most influential public servant in Canada's history, written by one of the most prolific Canadian historians of international affairs and the editor of Skelton's voluminous papers.
