A Very Sacred Experience
In celebration of his 100th birthday, Eli Bornstein, in collaboration with author and curator Roald Nasgaard, has published a stunning work of personal reflection on a most transformative time in his life and career. A Very Sacred Experience: Eli Bornstein's Arctic Journals, 1986 and 1987 is a tribute to the Canadian North, a meditation on artistic creation, and a window onto the ideological musings of Canada's greatest Structurist artist. Devoid of the mythologizing other artists have given their writing on the North, Bornstein's journals are introspective, insightful, and sometimes funny. Comprised of personal journal entries from two northern trips he took with photographer Hans Dommasch--along with watercolour studies, Structurist reliefs, and a personal collection of poems--Bornstein's work is a vital reminder of our outsized influence over the natural world and an invitation to recognize our need for nature in our life and in our art. Bornstein's publishing of A Very Sacred Experience is the culmination of a life's work on reconciling himself with nature and the understanding our very existence.

De Stijl Continued
From 1958 to 1964 the journal 'Structure' was a major platform for artists reconsidering the design tenets and underlying principles of the Bauhaus, Constructivism and De Stijl. This book explores the artists' body of ideas in meticulous detail.
New Organic Architecture
New Organic Architecture is a manifesto for building in a way that is both aesthetically pleasing and kinder to the environment. It illuminates key themes of organic architects, their sources of inspiration, the roots and concepts behind the style, and the environmental challenges to be met. The organic approach to architecture has an illustrious history, from Celtic design, Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, to the work of Antoni Gaud� and Frank Lloyd Wright. Today there is a response to a new age of information and ecology; architects are seeking to change the relationship between buildings and the natural environment. In the first part of his book, David Pearson provides a history and assessment of organic architecture. The second part comprises statements from thirty architects from around the world whose work is based on natural or curvilinear forms rather than the straight-line geometrics of modernism. Each statement is accompanied by full-color illustrations of one or several of the architects' built projects.
Perspectives of Saskatchewan
At the turn of the nineteenth century, Saskatchewan was one of the fastest growing provinces in the country. In the early 1900s, it revolutionized the Canadian political landscape and gave rise to socialist governments that continue to influence Canadian politics today. It was the birthplace of Canada’s publicly funded health care system, and home to a thriving arts and literary community that helped define western Canadian culture. In Perspectives of Saskatchewan, twenty-one noted scholars present an in-depth look at some of the major developments in the province’s history, including subjects such as art, literature, demographics, politics, northern development, and religion. It lays the foundations for a greater understanding of Saskatchewan’s unique history, identity, and place in Canada.
As One Who Serves
Pitsula's history also takes student culture into account. He argues that the youth of the sixties created the "citizen student" who participates fully in the life of the university - and helped make the University of Regina.
