King Coal
King Coal presents the rich history of Alberta coal mining, and the people and culture that emerged out of the industry, from the 1870s through to the modern era. King Coal invites the reader to discover Alberta’s coal history, its triumphs and tragedies, and its legacy in the province today. Uniquely, the book’s carefully researched historical sources are augmented by a vision of the era imagined through a fictional account of the author’s coal mining ancestors, as well as a variety of poetry, song lyrics, archival and modern photographs, and appendices that contain maps, charts, and links to multiple museums and historic sites around the province. These features of the book complete a full portrait of miners and their families, presenting how they lived and worked, the innovations they created, the tragedies they endured, and the life cycles experienced in the towns where they lived—including those boom and bust towns that have disappeared from the Canadian landscape. Made to feel like insiders in a different time, readers will emerge from King Coal with an excellent view of the social side of coal mining in Alberta, a time in Canada’s history when Coal was King.

The British Constitution
In the nineteenth century Walter Bagehot wrote a classic account of the British constitution as it had developed during Queen Victoria's reign arguing that it was not at all what people thought it was. Anthony King argues that the same is true at the beginning of this century. The author maintains that, while the new British constitution is a mess, there is no going back now. Grappling with the thorniest issues facing the British polity head on, he offers a trenchant analysis of the increasingly divergent relationship between England, Scotland and Wales in the light of devolution and a devastating critique of the reformed House of Lords. The book is a Bagehot for the 21st Century and essential reading for anyone with an interest in the nature and future of British political life.
