Letters to Vimy
Dear Uncle Oscar... I'm going to put a note on the back of our book to explain to readers what our correspondence inside is all about. It goes like this... A hundred years ago a German shell fell on Pte. Oscar French on Vimy Ridge and ended his life. A century later author Orland French replies to Oscar's real letters home to his mother and tells him, in his own sardonic style, how the world turned out after the horrific War to End All Wars. Letters to Vimy is an excellent and highly entertaining personal guide to the birth and growth of Canadian nationalism out of that victory at Vimy. Sources abounded for this project, including a memorable conversation with a group of elderly German tourists on the steps of the Vimy Monument. Your nephew in history, Orland French
From Humble Beginnings
"Lamar Jolly's book, From Humble Beginnings, is a simple story about leadership, change, power, politics and what I enjoyed most of all is the story about how much impact the United States Coast Guard has on the lives of so many." -Rear Admiral J. Scott Burhoe, U. S. Coast Guard "A simple story about the life of a young Coast Guardsman who went on to a successful career in an ever changing and competitive world as a real estate developer." -Rear Admiral Raymond H. Wood, U. S. Coast Guard (1927-2006) 1999 "My longtime friend, Lamar Jolly, has written an inspiring book about his life and the lives of some of his heroes, and I'm honored to be included among them." -Commander Orland D. French, (Retired) U. S. Coast Guard Lessons learned from history bring us encouragement for today and hope for tomorrow.

Levelling the Lake
Levelling the Lake explores a century and a half of social, economic, and legal arrangements through which the resources and environment of the Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake watershed have been both harnessed and harmed. Jamie Benidickson traces the environmental consequences of resource extraction and recreation as well as their impacts on local residents, including Indigenous communities, which encouraged new legal and institutional responses. Assessing the transition from primary resource extraction toward sustainable development, Levelling the Lake also shows how interjurisdictional and transboundary issues continue to play a significant role throughout the region.
The Montreal Massacre
The Montreal Massacre: A Story of Membership Categorization Analysis adopts an ethnomethodological viewpoint to analyze how the murder of women by a lone gunman at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal was presented to the public via media publication over a two-week period in 1989. All that the public came to know and understand of the murders, the murderer, and the victims was constituted in the description and commentaries produced by the media. What the murders became, therefore, was an expression of the methods used to describe and evaluate them, and central to these methods was membership category analysis — the human practice of perceiving people, places, and events as “members” o...

Breaking Anonymity
Across North America a growing body of “chilly climate” research documents the role played by environmental factors in reproducing gender inequality: practices that stereotype, exclude and devalue women are persistently powerful forces in creating “glass ceilings” and maintaining “pink ghettos.” Women academics in North American universities and colleges offer an especially striking case for such research. Precisely because of their elite status, the accounts now emerging of the “chilly climate” faced by academic women throw into sharp relief the mechanisms that foster gender inequity throughout North American society. Collected in this volume are a number of reports and comm...
