Book Description
The history of Canada can seem like a subject as large and expansive as the country itself, and for those of us who haven’t attended a history class in a while, it may just feel too big to tackle. Academic histories full of footnotes and jargon aren’t for everyone, but everyone deserves to know the history of the country they call home. Direct but never dry, historian James M. Roth starts at the country’s geographical beginnings at the end of the last Ice Age and weaves Canada’s tale from there. From contrasting early New World civilization against established Old World tradition; contextualizing Indigenous history within the rest of Canadian history; explaining today’s complex relationships between English and French Canadians with a play by play analysis of events; giving meaning to countless social and political movements by looking at the bigger picture; and covering everything else in between in commuter-length chapters, Canada: The First 20,000 Years is a history book for the everyday Canadian.

Book Description
`Extremely well documented and well written, Divided Loyalties is the definitive record of the Liberal Party through the Turner, Chretien, and Martin years. Brooke Jeffrey's interviews with Members of Parliament, high-ranking public servants, and senior Liberals provide an authentic account of the party's travails and conflicts, making Divided Loyalties a truly valuable contribution to Canada's political history.' Peter Russell, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto `Divided Loyalties brings together for the first time the complete story of the Liberal Party during its most tempestuous years. Brooke Jeffrey's study of Canada's "natural governing party" is balanced, authoritative, and very relevant to current events.' Hugh Thorburn, Professor Emeritus, Queen's University `Divided Loyalties stands alone in the literature on Canadian political parties and makes an extraordinary contribution to how we understand this country's contemporary politics. Brooke Jeffrey advances crucial arguments on the Liberal Party's rapid decline that all future evaluations will need to take into account. She is uniquely positioned to communicate the complexity of the relationships between leaders, caucus, constituency associations, voters, and election advisers, and her extensive interviews with key Liberal politicians and advisers offer remarkably candid assessments of the party and its policies.'

Book Description
In The Big Red Machine, astute Liberal observer Stephen Clarkson tells the story of the Liberal Party's performance in the last nine elections, providing essential historical context for each and offering incisive, behind-the-scenes detail about how the party has planned, changed, and executed its successful electoral strategies. Arguing that the Liberal Party has opportunistically straddled the political centre since Sir John A. Macdonald -- leaning left or moving right and as circumstances required -- Clarkson also shows that the party's grip on power is becoming increasingly uncertain, having lost its appeal not just in the West, but now in Qu�bec. Its campaigns now reflect the splintering of the party system and the integration of Canada into the global economy.

Book Description
Harper's team fought four campaigns in five years: two leadership races and two national elections. Through trial and error - and determination - they learned to combine the Reform Party's strength in grassroots politics with the Progressive Conservative expertise in advertising and media relations, while simultaneously adopting the latest advances in information and communications technology.

Book Description
Imagine the informed Thomas Friedman (of the The World is Flat), the provocative Christopher Hitchens (The Trial of Henry Kissinger) and the witty Maureen Dowd (Bush World) producing daily commentaries on international current events. And that is what Anthony Livingston Hall, author of the The iPINIONS Journal weblog, offers in this riveting review of the major events of 2005. So, if you're tired of partisan talking points masquerading as informed debate, this book is your refuge from those screaming pundits and political hacks. This book is your opportunity to be provoked into thinking about the important events of our time from an objective and rational perspective. Hall's refreshing world stems from his Caribbean heritage, American education and genuine compassion-all of which are reflected in his insightful articles.
Author: Herman Geertman Publisher: Peeters Publishers ISBN: 9789042915367 Category : Architecture Languages : it Pages : 312
Book Description
Questo volume raccoglie dieci articoli sparsi dell'archeologo Herman Geertman sul Liber Pontificalis, la ricca e complessa fonte sulle vite e le opere dei vescovi di Roma nella tarda antichita e nell'alto medioevo. Gli studi abbracciano il periodo di formazione ed elaborazione dell'opera, fino alla sua prima redazione complessiva del 535. Applicando alla fonte un metodo che potrebbe definirsi 'archeologico' l'autore da un contributo sostanziale alle conoscenze della genesi e della struttura del testo e, di conseguenza, alla topografia ecclesiastica della citta di Roma e alla storia degli edifici e del loro arredo. Il volume comprende anche un'edizione del testo delle vite in questione (311-535), composta dal Geertman in base ad un'analisi delle tre tradizioni manoscritte e alla edizioni esistenti di Duchesne e Mommsen. Un 'Epilogo', nel quale l'autore offre una riflessione metodologica sulla propria opera, e alcuni indici tematici chiudono il volume.

Book Description
A ringing manifesto for change from Canada’s Green Party leader and Activist. We Canadians are waking up from our long political slumber to realize that there will not be change unless we insist upon it. We have a presidential-style prime minister without the checks and balances of either the US or the Canadian systems. Attack ads run constantly, backbenchers and cabinet ministers alike are muzzled, committees are deadlocked, and civility has disappeared from the House of Commons. In Losing Confidence, Elizabeth May outlines these and other problems of our political system, and offers inspiring solutions to the dilemmas we face. “We no longer behead people in Canada, but Stephen Harper’s coup d’état cannot be allowed to stand, not least because of the precedent. Any future government can now slip the leash of democracy in the same way. This is how constitutions fail.” - Ronald Wright
Author: Françoise Boucek Publisher: Springer ISBN: 1137283920 Category : Political Science Languages : en Pages : 284
Book Description
Drawing on theories of neo-institutionalism to show how institutions shape dissident behaviour, Boucek develops new ways of measuring factionalism and explains its effects on office tenure. In each of the four cases - from Britain, Canada, Italy and Japan - intra-party dynamics are analyzed through times series and rational choice tools.
