Lone Parent Incomes and Social Policy Outcomes
The majority of the more than one million lone parent families in Canada live below the poverty line.

Equity & Community
This book , The Author addresses the following issues: how and to what effect judicial action has changed since the adoption of the charter, both at the national level and in Quebec; howjudges seek to reconcile particular groups claims with the sense of community integral to a free and democratic society; the implications of these and other developments for interest group advocacy, particular within parliament; and means of strengthening the voice of under represented groups within elected institutions.
New Age Business
New Age Business takes us on a journey from Cape Breton to Eastern Quebec and the Basque country of Northern Spain, areas that have all suffered from underdevelopment and responded by forming new structures for economic growth. The common objective in these regions is community improvement through the use of modern business methods. These are not one-shot, make-work efforts; they are long-term development strategies.

Perspectives on Social Services and Social Issues offers detailed studies of a range of contemporary issues.
