Canada: a Very Short Introduction
Canada is not one nation, but three: English Canada, Quebec, and First Nations. Yet as a country Canada is very successful, in part because it maintains national diversity through bilingualism, multiculturalism, and federalism. Alongside this contemporary openness Canada also has its own history to contend with; with a legacy of broken treaties and residential schools for its Indigenous peoples, making reconciliation between Canada and First Nations an ongoing journey, not a destination. Drawing on history, politics, and literature, this Very Short Introduction starts at the end of the last ice age, when the melting of the ice sheets opened the northern half of North America to Indigenous pe...

Entering a New Market
This report examines French-as-a-second-language (FSL) education in Canada from a publisher's perspective, specifically that of Oxford University Press. The seven chapters of this report provide an overall picture of Oxford's entry into the Canadian FSL market and reveal how the Press worked to establish itself in that market. Part one identifies three main FSL publishers in Canada with a special focus on Oxford University Press. It also examines the role of the Competition Bureau and how various mergers in the industry inadvertently enabled Oxford to enter the market. Part two details the conception, development, marketing and sales of the Communi-Quéte series, Oxford's first foray into FSL publishing. It also outlines the numerous considerations required at each stage of the publishing process. Part three evaluates the Communi-Quéte series' success in the marketplace, and the likelihood of Oxford remaining in the FSL market by producing another FSL series in the future.
The Canadian Oxford Dictionary
We all use Canadian English every day: when we order a pizza "all-dressed", hope to get a "seat-sale" to go south during "March break", or "book off" work to meet with a "CGA" to discuss "RRSPs". Language embodies our nation''s identity, and The Canadian Oxford Dictionary, in its 1,728 pages,covers all aspects of Canadian life. Never before have Canadians been able to see their language, and themselves, so accurately and comprehensively described in a dictionary. The loggers of the west coast, the wheat farmers of the Prairies, the fishermen of the Atlantic provinces, the trappers ofthe North; Canada''s Aboriginal peoples, its British and French settlers, and the more recent arrivals, whethe...
