Painter, Paddler
Art lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike will be captivated by this stunning, full-colour biography that celebrates and showcases the life and work of an extraordinary man--artist Stewart Marshall. For much of the past two decades, Stewart Marshall has travelled hundreds, sometimes thousands, of miles in a hand-built kayak, living off the land and the sea and painting on some of British Columbia's most remote shorelines. His unusual way of life has taken him to countless distant places, from the wilds of Quebec to the South Pacific. Marshall's art is sought after by discerning collectors across Canada and the U.S. Most of his work is purchased without ever reaching the gallery community. Bor...
Old East Kilbride
Not surprisingly, most of the pictures in Old East Kilbride show the village, rather than the new town, although there are some classic 1960s shots of the brand spanking new shopping centre. Amongst the village pictures are some recognisable landmarks, such as the 'Monty' pub, but probably more interesting are the many buildings that have been swept away, including Kate Dalrymple's picturesque house in Maxwell Street, the village smithy and a brewery that once operated in Main Street.

A Practical Companion to the Constitution
This is the most comprehensive and readable one-volume reference book in print, accessible to lay readers and specialists alike, on the meaning of the American Constitution as the Supreme Court has interpreted it. It is an indispensable tool for students and lay persons who want to understand today's constitutional controversies and their background in our history. It is equally useful to lawyers and other specialists who seek quick reviews of constitutional issues with immediate reference to cases for further research. Unlike conventional treatises that discuss the Constitution clause by clause or under a few broad concepts, this book uniquely treats every aspect of the Constitution and eve...
Mistaken Identity
Is it ever legitimate to redraw electoral districts on the basis of race? In its long struggle with this question, the U.S. Supreme Court has treated race-conscious redistricting either as a requirement of political fairness or as an exercise in corrosive racial quotas. Cutting through these contradictory positions, Keith Bybee examines the theoretical foundations of the Court's decisions and the ideological controversy those decisions have engendered. He uncovers erroneous assumptions about political identity on both sides of the debate and formulates new terms on which minority representation can be pursued. As Bybee shows, the Court has for the last twenty years encouraged a division betw...
