Vancouver
Once an almost inaccessible logging town, Vancouver has grown into a major North American urban center and a jewel of the Pacific Rim. Within a mere century, it has metamorphosed from a little-explored rain forest to a thriving and cosmopolitan metropolis that will host the 2010 Olympics. This book shares the city's extraordinary coming of age through 150 striking images. Carefully reproduced, they capture Vancouver in every phase of its growth, from the coming of the railway to the intense urban expansion that has taken place since the 1950s.

Etyka badań jakościowych w praktyce
Jest to pierwsze w Polsce tak obszerne i wszechstronne opracowanie problemów etyki badań socjologicznych. Konfrontując postulaty normatywne z praktyką badań jakościowych, zwłaszcza związanych z narażeniem osób badanych na zranienie (krzywdę), Adrianna Surmiak uświadamia czytelnikowi, jak duża część tej praktyki wymaga wrażliwości, intuicji etycznej, empatii, a ponadto jak wiele szczegółowych kwestii należałoby jeśli nie uregulować kodeksowo, to przynajmniej poddać środowiskowej dyskusji. dr hab. Wojciech Pawlik, prof. UW Z książki Adrianny Surmiak jasno wynika, że antropologom i socjologom prowadzącym badania jakościowe potrzebna jest nie tylko znajomość zasad etyki proceduralnej (formalnej), ale też wrażliwość i wiedza wywodzące się z etyki opisowej; praktyce badawczej powinna towarzyszyć nieustanna „kontrola sumienia”, wyczulenie na wszystko, co może w jakikolwiek sposób naruszać dobro badanych. dr hab. Katarzyna Kaniowska, prof. UŁ

Dream City
Located at the edge of a continent and at the corresponding edge of national public consciousness, Vancouver has developed in unique and unanticipated ways. It is now emerging as an experiment in contemporary city-making, with international interest in Vancouver as a model of post-industrial urbanism increasing exponentially. Lance Berelowitz explores the links between the city's seductive natural setting, its turbulent political history and changing civic values, and its planning and design culture. He also makes the startling case that Vancouver is to Canada's imagination what Los Angeles is to the American -- a mythologized place of endless possibilities, while being grounded in an altogether more limited set of socio-economic and environmental limitations. Dream City is richly illustrated with both historical and contemporary photographs of many significant buildings and public spaces, as well as specially commissioned maps that reveal the underlying patterns of growth and change of Canada's youngest metropolis.
Against the Current
Received an Honourable Mention for the 2018 Lieutenant Governor's Medal for Historical Writing The first book on Agnes Deans Cameron, BC’s first female principal, itinerant traveller, and journalist. Agnes Deans Cameron was an extraordinary woman who was ahead by a century. Born in Victoria in 1863, she was the first female school principal in the province, but she worked tirelessly to achieve work equality and voting rights for women. One of Canada's most well known writers of her time, she put western Canada on the map through her writing, which was published internationally including in the Saturday Evening Post. She was also a trailblazer in sports, becoming the first “Lady Centurion” in the West. A consummate trailblazer, in the summer of 1906, Cameron travelled 10,000 miles down the Mackenzie River and out into the Beaufort Sea—something no other European woman had done—in one short season. Cameron was named one of the top 150 most significant individuals in the history of the province of British Columbia. This is the first book commemorating her life.

Adel Abdessemed
This book looks at the behavior of individuals at risk, insurance industry decision makers, and policy makers at the local, state, and federal level involved in the selling, buying, and regulating of insurance. It compares their actions to those predicted by benchmark models of choice derived from classical economic theory. Where actual choices stray from predictions, the behavior is considered to be anomalous. Howard C. Kunreuther, Mark Pauly, and Stacey McMorrow attempt to understand why these anomalies sometimes occur and sometimes do not, in many cases using insights from behavioral economics. The authors then consider if and how such behavioral anomalies could be modified to improve ind...
