Antivivisection and Medical Science in Victorian Society
Late nineteenth-century England witnessed the emergence of a vociferous and well-organzied movement against the use of living animals in scientific research, a protest that threatened the existence of experimental medicine. Richard D. French views the Victorian antivivisection movement as a revealing case study in the attitude of modern society toward science. The author draws on popular pamphlets and newspaper accounts to recreate the structure, tactics, ideology, and personalities of the early antivivisection movement. He argues that at the heart of the antivivisection movement was public concern over the emergence of science and medicine as leading institutions of Victorian society--a con...
Émigrés
The fascinating history of French words that have entered the English language and the fertile but fraught relationship between English- and French-speaking cultures across the world English has borrowed more words from French than from any other modern foreign language. French words and phrases—such as à la mode, ennui, naïveté and caprice—lend English a certain je-ne-sais-quoi that would otherwise elude the language.

Planning and the Economy
Since World War II, the way economic policy has been formed both in Canada and abroad has changed radically. This book shows that the course taken in Canada has much to do with the crisis in the Canadian economy in the post-war period. Thornburn examines the response of other Western nations to the changing economic order of the postwar world, and then turns to an analysis of Canadian economic policy-making at the federal level and in all ten provinces. Thorburn points to the need for a central planning agency to correct the drift in Canada's economic policy. First published in 1984, Planning and the Economy is a strongly argued entry into the vital debates over Canadian political and economic policy in the early 1980s.
