Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance
But discovery of his true past dogged him repeatedly and eventually drove him to alcohol and despair. He died by his own hand in 1932. The story of this glorious impostor rises above his deceptions to become a true history of racial injustice, which played a significant role in driving this brilliant young man toward his tragic end.

Mississauga Portraits
The word “Mississauga” is the name British Canadian settlers used for the Ojibwe on the north of Lake Ontario – now the most urbanized region in what is now Canada. The Ojibwe of this area in the early and mid-nineteenth century lived through a time of considerable threat to the survival of the First Nations, as they lost much of their autonomy, and almost all of their traditional territory. Donald B. Smith’s Mississauga Portraits recreates the lives of eight Ojibwe who lived during this period – all of whom are historically important and interesting figures, and seven of whom have never before received full biographical treatment. Each portrait is based on research drawn from an e...

Bond Math
A guide to the theory behind bond math formulas Bond Math explores the ideas and assumptions behind commonly used statistics on risk and return for individual bonds and on fixed income portfolios.

These calculations are used on traditional fixed-ra...
India as a Secular State
Throughout India's history, religion has been the most powerful single factor in the development of her civilization. Today, despite her religious tradition, India is emerging as a secular state. In this book, Donald E. Smith explores the origin of the concept of secularization as it is found both in Indian culture and in the example of the western nations. He emphasizes the important role of secularization in India’s total democratic experiment and points out that the degree of its realization will undoubtedly affect the eventual character of democracy in India. In addition, the success or failure of the secular state in India cannot fail to influence the attitudes of her neighbors. Profe...

From the Land of Shadows
"Abandoned by his parents, Archie Belaney had a lonely and unhappy childhood in the 1890s in Hastings, Sussex, England, but found refuge in a fantasy world of his own making, centring on the North American Indian. By the time he died in Saskatchewan at the age of forty-nine, he had created for himself a different heritage, and was known to the world as Grey Owl, one of Canada's greatest conservationists and one of the foremost Canadian writers of his day. Appointed to Riding Mountain and later to Prince Albert National Park to look after a beaver conservation programme, Grey Owl wrote four books--books that remain in print and that have been translated into numerous languages... His work was...
