Atlantica
''This exhibition features an unprecedented gathering of paintings by artists who came to the Atlantic region in the first half of the twentieth century to paint, and who were either significantly transformed by the experience or had significant influence on others. Works by well-known artists such as Lawren S. Harris, Marsden Hartley, A. Y. Jackson, Arthur Lismer, Rockwell Kent, J. E. H. MacDonald and Stanley Royle are presented alongside works by those perhaps less familiar, such as George Pepper, Kathleen Daly, Elizabeth Nutt and Henry Rosenberg, who also came “from away” to paint in the Maritimes, and left their mark here. Paintings have been loaned from major collections across North America, including the Sobey Collection and the National Gallery of Canada. The fully-illustrated catalogue includes an essay by Jeffrey Spalding that reconsiders the significance of the work done in this place and period and its contribution to the development of Canadian art. This exhibition has been organized as the final major event in the Dalhousie Art Gallery’s 50th Anniversary program.''--

The structure's integrated ecological design features provided autonomous life support for a family of four, providing for all food and energy needs, managing all wastes, and enabling a new and symbiotic relationship between its inhabitants and the ecosystem of their home. The Ark deployed many then-experimental technologies that remain emblems of sustainable design today: solar heating with mass heat storage, a high-e...

Lives of Dalhousie University, Volume 1
Financed by British spoils from eastern Maine in the War of 1812, modelled on the University of Edinburgh, and shaped by Scottish democratic education tradition, Dalhousie was unique among Nova Scotia colleges in being the only liberal, nonsectarian institution of higher learning. Except for a brief flicker of life (1838-43), for the first forty-five years no students or professors entered Dalhousie's halls a reflection in part of the intense religious loyalties embedded in Nova Scotian politics. The college building itself was at different times a cholera hospital and a Halifax community centre. Finally launched in 1863 and by 1890 embracing the disciplines of law and medicine, Dalhousie ow...
