Nation's Navy
Bounded by three great oceans, Canada stands as a maritime nation with rich seafaring traditions. Born of both national and British imperial interests in 1910 and maturing in two world wars, its navy is a vital national institution that continues to evolve in response to new and complex challenges. A Nation's Navy explores the decisive formative forces of the navy's history and illuminates the characteristically Canadian elements and values that have defined it.

The History of Canada Series: War in the St. Lawrence
From 1942 to 1944, 15 German submarines destroyed or severely damaged 27 ships, including three Canadian warships, a U.S. Army troop transport, and the Newfoundland ferry Caribou. More than 250 lives were lost. It was the only battle of the twentieth century to take place within Canada’s boundaries, and the only battle to be fought almost exclusively by Canadian forces under Canadian, rather than alliance, high command. And for more than 40 years the battle was characterized as a Canadian defeat. But was it a defeat?

Ariane & Bluebeard
Maurice Maeterlinck described his libretto Ariane et Barbe-bleue as "a sort of legendary opera, or fairy [opera], in three acts." In 1907, Paul Dukas finished setting Maeterlinck's libretto to music, and the opera's Paris premiere was lauded as a landmark in operatic history. Ariane & Bluebeard: From Fairy Tale to Comic Book Opera offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary look at this historic opera, including its structure, reception, and cultural implications. This lively collection juxtaposes chapters from experts in music, literature, the visual arts, gender studies, and religion and philosophy with vibrant illustrations by comic artist P. Craig Russell and interviews with performers and artists. Featuring material from newly discovered documents and the first English translation of several important sources, Ariane & Bluebeard allows readers to imagine the operain its various incarnations: as symbolist show, comic book, children's fairy tale, and more.

Beziehungen – Vernetzungen – Konflikte
Ziel des Bandes ist, Beziehungen, Vernetzungen und Konflikten unter Verwandten in verschiedenen sozialen Milieus und Interaktionsräumen nachzuspüren und diese zugleich in Relation zu anderen Formen der Verflechtung zu setzen – wie Patenschaft, Freundschaft oder politisches Engagement. Die Beiträge machen auf vielfältige Weise das Potenzial von Verwandtschaft als einer grundlegenden sozialen und politischen Kategorie sichtbar. Deren Wirkmacht reicht bis ins 20. Jahrhundert und beschränkt sich keineswegs auf hochrangige Träger von Macht, sondern strukturiert soziale Felder insgesamt. Der epochenübergreifende Zugriff vermag zugleich herauszustellen, dass Konzepte von Verwandtschaft stets zeit- und situationsgebunden und daher wandelbar sind.
