McNab
In 1823, Archibald McNab, thirteenth Chief of Clan McNab, eluded his creditors in Scotland and escaped to Upper Canada, to the banks of the Ottawa River. In 1825, McNab paid for the passage of 115 emigrants from Perthshire. He tried to impose a feudal system by having his settlers sign bonds and location tickets for their lots. McNab is the story of the settlers' sixteen-year struggle to free themselves from the tyranny of a Highland chief who held tenaciously to the tradition of the Scottish clan.
The Nature of Empires and the Empires of Nature
Drawing on themes from John MacKenzie’s Empires of Nature and the Nature of Empires (1997), this book explores, from Indigenous or Indigenous-influenced perspectives, the power of nature and the attempts by empires (United States, Canada, and Britain) to control it. It also examines contemporary threats to First Nations communities from ongoing political, environmental, and social issues, and the efforts to confront and eliminate these threats to peoples and the environment. It becomes apparent that empire, despite its manifestations of power, cannot control or discipline humans and nature. Essays suggest new ways of looking at the Great Lakes watershed and the peoples and empires contained within it.

A Cruise for Cinderella
INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS: In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy. Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East. "You're not his kind of girl!" A gloriously romantic Mediterranean cruise, and a new wardrobe! It seemed like a dream come true to Janie. And so was her dream of Prince Charming. Paul Cortes, the handsome, famous Spanish bullfighter, seemed to be falling in love with her. But David McNab insisted that the dream was impossible. "Like calls to like, Janie," he said. "And you're not like him–you're like me!" Could David possibly be right?
Speaking for Ourselves
The concept of environmental justice has offered a new direction for social movements and public policy in recent decades, and researchers worldwide now position social equity as a prerequisite for sustainability. Yet the relationship between social equity and environmental sustainability has been little studied in Canada. Speaking for Ourselves draws together Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal scholars and activists who bring equity issues to the forefront by considering environmental justice from multiple perspectives and in specifically Canadian contexts.
