Two Brothers
In the late fifties, as more and more immigrants migrated to the U.S., in a way it was kind of disheartening for them because they had to go through some kind of physical checkup and some were held in quarantine until the authorities were satisfied with the outcome of whatever the illness was. The percentage of these cases, were very low and eventually they were accepted into this country, which today that is not the case. This particular family had no such problems and that made the transition much enjoyable. These two particular brothers were unique in their own ways and accepted what life put in front of their paths. They faced the problems and the pleasures of life, without having someone else take responsibility for their actions, even though at times the actions that they took were not the most favorable ones. It was rare that they disagreed on whatever they had to do, but as human beings, we have our moments where we as individuals are never wrong. Even though age between two brothers as they grow up makes a difference, there comes that special moment when at a certain age, equality just introduced itself to them and they handled it very well.

A Unifying Enlightenment
This book contains a systematic study of economic institutions during the Spanish Enlightenment in the areas of print culture (the press, merchants’ handbooks, teaching materials), education (university chairs in political economy and commerce) and the organisation of financial matters at state level (economic societies, trade consulates and the official statistics agency). A Unifying Enlightenment is a fresh interpretation of political economy’s contribution to the development of the European Enlightenment. Jesús Astigarraga shows that, far from being a straightforward intellectual phenomenon, this new science played a crucial role in both the circulating and institutionalisation of Enlightenment culture and the process of political unification and articulation undergone by the Spanish monarchy, which culminated in a constitutional culture.

Sovereign Lives
For International Relations scholars, discussions of globalization inevitably turn to questions of sovereignty. How much control does a country have over its borders, people and economy? Where does that authority come from? Sovereign Lives explores these changes through reading of humanitarian intervention, human rights discourses, securitization, refugees, the fragmentation of identities and the practices of development.

In this captivating novel by Huguette Thiboutot, we follow the adventures of a divorced grandmother as she bridges the gap between Innocence and Experience, with an open heart and a mind full of hope. As she seeks out the best in the characters she meets along the road two latter day love - and they certainly are characters! - she finds the best in herself, and the strength to face life's challenges head-on.

How it all plays out is revealed in a series of mystical revelations in the office of a gifted psychic, a talented seer who is able to conjure giants of creativity from Mozart to Da Vinci culminating with an invitation to dance with Gauguin in an amazing dialog. Yet the question remains: Will Minnie's tender heart be broken or will love conquer all?
The Age of Knowledge
The Age of Knowledge emphasizes that the ongoing transformations of knowledge, both within universities and for society more generally, must be understood as a reflection of the larger changes in the constitutive social structures within which they are invariably produced, translated and reproduced. As the development of knowledge continues to be implicated in the habitual practices of the human social enterprise, visualizing these alterations requires the consideration of the social and materialistic contexts informing these transformations. This is necessary because the process of globalization has not only created new challenges for societies but has also unleashed a new political economy of knowledge within which different institutions must re-affirm their identity and place.
Little Canuck
Michel learns that his father is dying. This news precipitates a nostalgic journey into the past--a childhood spent on a dairy farm in French Québec. As a sensitive boy secluded from the world, Michel wavers between forbidden exploits and heartbreaking tribulations. Catholic school is a culture shock, but it's the huge pumpkin-shaped teacher with a bad temper who terrorizes his brain most. On the farm, his young life abounds with fun and danger--mad bulls, dynamite sticks, runaway darts, lethal ice cubes, and hazardous farm equipment. After struggling with a dismal economy, his family is forced to abandon their home. They desert their isolated farmhouse and move into a cockroach-infested apartment in an English-speaking city one mile from the seductive United States border. There, Michel copes with bullies, Russian spies, and ghosts. Little Canuck recounts the humorous, and at times, heartrending memoirs of a young boy on his journey through a colorful landscape of emotion. Along the way, young Michel uncovers the mysteries of female anatomy, and learns poignant truths about mortality. His most profound lessons are not learned at school.
