a Wilder West Rodeo in Western Canada Mary-Ellen Kelm A controversial sport, rodeo is often seen as emblematic of the West’s reputation as a “white man’s country.” A Wilder West complicates this view, showing how rodeo has been a chaotic and unpredictable place of encounter that challenged expected social hierarchies. Rodeo has brought people together across racial and gender divides, creating friendships, rivalries, and unexpected intimacies. Fans made hometown cowboys, cowgirls, and Aboriginal riders local heroes. Lavishly illustrated and based on cowboy/cowgirl biographies and memoirs, press coverage, archival records, and dozens of interviews with former and current rodeo participants, this creative history returns to rodeo’s small-town roots to shed light on the history of social relations in Canada’s western frontier.

give me shelter The Failure of Canada’s Cold War Civil Defence Andrew Burtch How could you and your family survive a nuclear war? From 1945 onwards, the Canadian government developed civil defence plans and encouraged citizens to join local survival corps.

By the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the civil defence program was widely mocked, and the public was still vastly unprepared for nuclear war. An exposé of the challenges of educating the public on the threat of nuclear annihilation, Give Me Shelter provides a well-grounded explanation of why Canada's civil defence strategy ultimately failed. It is essential reading for anyone interested in Canada's Cold War home front.

Jewels of the Qila The Remarkable Story of an Indo-Canadian Family Hugh J.M. Johnston This is a story about a remarkable Sikh family and the communities they lived in and supported in both Canada and India. Kapoor Singh Siddoo arrived in British Columbia in 1912 and overcame racial prejudice and legal discrimination to transform himself from labourer to lumber baron. He and his wife, Besant Kaur, fostered in their daughters a vision of service and activism that they fulfi lled by establishing a hospital in Punjab and introducing an Indian spiritual tradition to their new home in Canada. Hugh Johnston tells their story with warmth and perceptiveness, while telling a larger tale about the trials and tribulations faced by immigrant communities in Canada.

principles of tsawalk An Indigenous Approach to Global Crisis Umeek / E. Richard Atleo Tsawalk, or “one,” expresses the Nuu-chahnulth view that all living things – human, plant, and animal – form part of an integrated whole brought into harmony through constant negotiation and mutual respect. In this book, Umeek argues that contemporary environmental and political crises and the ongoing plight of indigenous peoples reflect a world out of balance, a world in which Western approaches for sustainable living are not working. Nuuchah-nulth principles of recognition, consent, and continuity, by contrast, hold the promise of bringing greater harmony, where all life forms are treated with respect and accorded formal constitutional recognition.

the environmental rights revolution A Global Study of Constitutions, Human Rights, and the Environment David R. Boyd The right to a healthy environment has been the subject of extensive philosophical debates that revolve around the question: Should rights to clean air, water, and soil be entrenched in law?

David Boyd answers this by moving beyond theoretical debate to measure the practical effects of enshrining the right in constitutions.

His pioneering analysis of 193 constitutions and the laws and court decisions of more than 100 nations in Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa reveals a positive correlation between constitutional protection and stronger environmental laws, smaller ecological footprints, superior environmental performance, and improved quality of life.

temagami's tangled Wild Race, Gender, and the Making of Canadian Nature Jocelyn Thorpe Canadian wilderness seems a self-evident entity, yet, as this volume shows in vivid historical detail, wilderness is not what it seems. In Temagami's Tangled Wild, Jocelyn Thorpe traces how struggles over meaning, racialized and gendered identities, and land have made the Temagami area in Ontario into a site emblematic of wild Canadian nature, even though the Teme-Augama Anishnabai have long understood the region as their homeland rather than as a wilderness. Eloquent and accessible, this engaging history challenges readers to acknowledge the embeddedness of colonial relations in our notions of wilderness, and to reconsider our understanding of the wilderness ideal.

tibet Wild A Naturalist’s Journey on the Roof of the World George B. Schaller Tibet Wild follows Dr. Schaller’s expeditions to the Tibetan Plateau from 1984 until the present day. Dr. Schaller’s exploration of different aspects of the wildlife and culture of the region show how the growth of permanent houses, roads, fences, and other structures on the Tibetan Plateau is impacting wildlife and human communities. Woven through each chapter is the idea that education partnerships between government, religious groups, and conservation organizations are the best hope for protecting unique wildlife and landscapes into the future. The book includes an inside look at Schaller’s current and possibly most ambitious project: the creation of the Pamir International Peace Park at the junction of Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, and Tajikistan.

corporation 2020 Transforming Business for Tomorrow's World Pavan Sukhdev There is an emerging consensus that all is not well with today’s market-centric economic model. Although it has delivered wealth over the last half century and pulled millions out of poverty, it is recession-prone, leaves too many unemployed, creates ecological scarcities and environmental risks, and widens the gap between the rich and the poor. In Corporation 2020, Pavan Sukhdev lays out a sweeping new vision for tomorrow’s corporation: he presents new approaches to measuring the true costs of business and the corporation’s obligation to society and offers a hopeful vision for the role of business in shaping a more equitable, sustainable future.

global Farms race Land Grabs, Agricultural Investment, and the Scramble for Food Security Michael Kugelman and Susan Levenstein As we struggle to feed a global population speeding toward nine billion, we have entered a new phase of the food crisis. Wealthy countries that import much of their food, along with private investors, are racing to buy or lease huge swaths of farmland abroad. The Global Farms Race is the fi rst book to examine this burgeoning trend in all its complexity, considering the implications for investors, host countries, and the world as a whole. The debate over large-scale land acquisition is typically polarized, with critics lambasting it as a form of “neocolonialism,” and proponents lauding it as an elixir for the poor yields, inefficient technology, and unemployment plaguing global agriculture.

The Global Farms Race instead offers diverse perspectives.

the thistle and the drone How America’s War on Terror Became a Global War on Tribal Islam Akbar Ahmed In the years following the US’s declaration of war on terrorism, the results are decidedly mixed. In The Thistle and the Drone, renowned author Akbar Ahmed reveals a tremendously important yet largely unrecognized adverse effect of these campaigns.

According to Ahmed, US efforts to root out, capture, and even kill suspected terrorists in nations such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Yemen are actually hindering the efforts of supportive national governments to control the tribal areas in their periphery. Not only has the strategy come up short, but in many cases it has backfi red, exacerbating tensions and distrust in tribal areas and leading to more sectarian and separatist strife rather than less.

the path to Zero Dialogues on Nuclear Dangers Richard Falk and David Krieger Hiroshima and Nagasaki were only the beginning; in recent times, nuclear annihilation at the hands of rogues and terrorists has become an even greater concern than the specter of nuclear war between superpowers. In a series of clear, calm, well-reasoned dialogues, longtime scholars and practitioners of peace Richard Falk and David Krieger probe key questions about our nuclear reality, offering new insights and proposals. They believe that a nuclear-free future is not a subject to be left to experts and that although none of us has the power to bring about global change alone, together we are immensely powerful – powerful enough to overcome the threats of the Nuclear Age and move us appreciably along “the path to zero.”

mr. putin Operative in the Kremlin Fiona Hill and Clifford G. Gaddy Observers have variously said that Putin has no face, no substance, no soul; he is “the man from nowhere” – a nobody, who can appear to be anybody. But Putin only wants the world to see him that way, and he has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal who he really is. Drawing on many sources, including their own personal encounters with him, the authors argue that there are, in fact, several “real” Putins. They concentrate on five essential ones: Putin the Statist, Putin the Survivalist, Putin the Outsider, Putin the Free Marketeer, and Putin the Case Officer. For each of these identities, they explain what it is, why it is important for understanding Putin, and trace its roots and evolution.

informer 001 The Myth of Pavlik Morozov Yuri Druzhnikov During the period when Russia was under Stalin, a young boy named Pavlik Morozov informed the OGPU (now called the KGB) that his father was an enemy of the regime. As a result, Pavlik’s father was arrested and disappeared in a Soviet concentration camp. Enemies of the party later killed the boy, whereupon people proclaimed him a hero. Informer 001 is the fi rst independent study of the Morozov affair. In book after book, author Druzhnikov discovered inconsistencies on every fact relating to Morozov. As Druzhnikov pieced together the story about Morozov’s life, death, and legacy, it became clear that the campaign to keep Morozov a hero was centrally directed, a fearful reminder to all; to those who inform, and those who become the victims of denunciations.

In addition to presenting fi ndings from his tomb complex, it examines the period preceding his reign (246–210 BCE) and his establishment of the Qin empire and dynasty in 221 BCE. The Qin state had been in existence for over half a millennium before the First Emperor came to the throne. Only in recent years has that history been revealed through a series of remarkable and often accidental discoveries of tombs and burials of early Qin royals and aristocracy.

moral power The Magic of Witchcraft Koen Stroeken Neither power nor morality but both. Moral power is what the Sukuma from Tanzania in times of crisis attribute to an unknown figure they call their witch. A universal process is involved, as much bodily as social, which obstructs the patient’s recovery. Healers turn the table on the witch through rituals showing that the community and the ancestral spirits side with the victim. In contrast to biomedicine, their magic and divination introduce moral values that assess the state of the system and that remove the obstacles to what is taken as key: self-healing. The implied “sensory shifts” and therapeutic effectiveness have largely eluded the literature on witchcraft. This book shows how to comprehend culture other than through

turning the tune Traditional Music, Tourism, and Social Change in an Irish Village

music

Adam R. Kaul The last century has seen radical social changes in Ireland, which have impacted all aspects of local life but none more so than traditional Irish music, an increasingly important identity marker both in Ireland and abroad. The author focuses on a small village in County Clare, which became a kind of pilgrimage site for those interested in experiencing traditional music. He begins by tracing its historical development from the days prior to the influx of visitors, through a period called “the revival,” in which traditional Irish music was revitalized and transformed, to the modern period, which is dominated by tourism. This study explores the commercialization of music and culture, the touristic consolidation and consumption of “place.” booK arts

the look of the book Manuscript Production in Shiraz, 1303–1452 Elaine Wright The Look of the Book assesses the role of the city of Shiraz in Iranian book production between the early fourteenth and mid-fifteenth centuries. It is the fi rst detailed analysis of all aspects of the book – illumination, codicology, illustration, calligraphy, and binding – during this significant era when the look of the book was transformed. Highlights of this book, which is heavily illustrated with exquisite illuminated manuscript pages, are its examination of illumination, an overlooked area of book production; the codicological aspects of the manuscripts, including paper and text layout; and the development of nasta‘liq script. The manuscripts studied are held in more than fifty collections.

historical noVel

As Four Thousand Hooks opens, an Alaskan fishing schooner is sinking. It is the summer of 1972, and the sixteen-year-old narrator is at the helm. Dean Adams tells how he came to be a crew member on the Grant and unfolds a tale of adventure that reads like a novel – full of drama, conflict, and resonant portrayals of halibut fishing. At sea, the Grant’s crew teach Dean the daily tasks of baiting thousands of longline hooks and handling the catch, and on shore they lead him through the seedy bars and guilty pleasures of Kodiak. Four Thousand Hooks is both an absorbing adventure tale and a rich ethnography of a way of life and work that has sustained Northwest families for generations.

DEAN J. ADAMS went on to become the captain of his own commercial fishing vessel and obtained BS and MS degrees in fisheries science from the University of Washington.

Fiction

sefer Ewa Lipska; Translated by Barbara Bogoczek and Tony Howard Sefer is a tale of two cities, Vienna and Kraków, and a journey into the past. It weaves between the lost Jewish culture of 1920s Poland and twenty-fi rst century unified Europe, staggering on the brink of a great economic crisis.

Inspired by the author’s close friendship with Simon Wiesenthal, it explores the legacy of the Holocaust from a unique perspective. It is the surreal, poetic, and witty journal of a psychotherapist trying to untangle his family’s mysteries and his own thoughts.

EWA LIPSKA was born in 1945 in Kraków. She worked as an editor for the leading publishing house Wydawnictwo Literackie and was poetry editor of the literary magazine Pismo, which she co-founded. She has been recognized with the Koscielski Fund Award (Geneva 1973), Robert Graves Pen Club Award (1979), Pen Club Award for Lifetime Literary Achievement (1993), “Cape of Good Hope” Award (Kosovo 2010), and many other awards.

aboriginal peoples and Forest lands in canada

Edited by Janice Forsyth and Audrey R. Giles
