Voice of the Vanishing Minority
Author: Robert HillPublisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773520110
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
Widely regarded as the authentic voice of English-speaking farmers in Quebec, Robert Sellar, editor of the Huntingdon Gleaner, was the most-quoted rural newspaperman in Canada. Voice of the Vanishing Minority recounts Sellar's crusade against the tide of Frenchification that would displace English-speaking people from the townships they had pioneered. As a result of his outspokenness Sellar endured character assassination, physical violence, legal harassment, arson, clerical condemnation, disappointment, and the apathy of the dwindling communities he was defending. His provocative beliefs about Quebec's first "English exodus" - shared by the grass roots but dismissed by politically correct politicians, journalists, and academics as Anglo-Protestant bigotry - cut to the core of the unity crisis already developing in Canada.

The Twenty-Second Amendment and the Limits of Presidential Tenure
Author: Martin B. GoldPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1498562671
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
For nearly a century and a half, Americans lived by a powerful tradition in which no President served more than two terms. Then came Franklin Delano Roosevelt, restricted by custom but not by law, who won a third term in 1940 and a fourth in 1944. Believing that the broken norm would be breached again, the Republican-controlled eightieth Congress acted to restore it, passing a constitutional change in 1947 to formalize an absolute limit on presidential tenure. Ratified in 1951, the Twenty-second Amendment created a lame-duck out of every two-term incumbent since Truman and has had an enormous effect on the institution of the Presidency, public policy, and national politics. Critics believe the Amendment diminishes the presidential office; however, Martin B. Gold contends it serves to maintain checks and balances central to the American Constitution while examining Presidents and term limits, from the spirited debates in the Constitution Convention, the role of custom in an unwritten Constitution, and the Twenty-second Amendment itself.

Book Description
An independent novel set in the world of Hawklan. Life is good for Farnor Yarrance. It is good for everybody in the valley. And has been for generations. So much so, that few ever feel the need to travel beyond it -- over the hill. And no one ever bothers to enter it from beyond. Until one day, they do. Men come from the south, haunted and pursued. And something else comes, silent and awful, from the north. With their arrival, an ancient corruption, festering slowly in the midst of the community, blossoms into a menace that threatens not only the valley but the land beyond, and the lands beyond that. Only Farnor, scarcely a man yet, has the power to oppose this menace, though he is unaware of it, his own soul clouded with bitterness and anger at the terrible tragedy that events now inflict on him. Not until he is pursued into the Great Forest to the north does he gradually learn the extent of his own power. And the truly terrifying nature of the forces he must face...

Book Description
Book Sanctity of Life is a small realm of three stories. Through medium of stories, writer strives to bring home deep truths of human pursuits. To lose or to regain the human paradise rests in hands of humanity who if strays due to its thoughts of arrogant supremacy of its ideological beliefs then it rains bloody nails upon itself or if it strays not from path Saviour keeps for ever illuminated, it will resonantly remain showering divine blessings not only upon itself but also upon infinite children of Mother-Earth. Humanity, therefore, understands the fact that it is it who is the main player of sports of its life of infinite vividity. What a mythically mysterious is the life of man in whom his Great Saviour stirs up a feeling of his every deed virtuous or vicious and warns him against the wrath of Mother Earth Who can alarm him with astonishing shock of divine justice. In the course of events of life realization dawns on man who repents with firm determination to do virtuous deeds of service and sacrifice and he ultimately regains his lost astral beauty of life. Let we all resolve to live life of great human fraternity with the blessings of Mother-Earth Who is also the Great Redeemer of her all children.
