Decorative front and back covers. Illustrations many in/with color. Map. The RCMP Centennial Review was a two hour indoor performance that toured Canada during the centennial year. The program had the following format: The March West; The Signing of the Great Blackfoot Treaty No. 7; The RCMP Band in Concert; The RCMP Choral Group; Intermission; The Eight Horse Precision Jumping Team; The Drill Team; The RCMP Service Dogs; Mounted Arms Competition; Physical Training and Self-Defence; The RCMP Musical Ride; and Finale. In the event program there are sections on The First 50 years of the RCMP; The Past 50 years of the RCMP and the RCMP Today. These three initial section make effective use of historic and contemporary images. The RCMP presented Queen Elizabeth II with a police service horse during our centennial celebrations in 1973. T he Queen chose Jerry a 3-year-old black gelding out of a group of 5 horses during her visit to the RCMP stables in Ottawa on August 2 1973. Jerry stayed in Canada until 1977 to complete his training as a saddle horse and for use in the RCMP Musical Ride. When we presented the horse to Her Majesty at Windsor Castle on May 15 1977 Jerry's name changed to Centenial with one "n". Centenial went to the Mounted Division of the London Metropolitan Police for crowd-orientation training. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police RCMP often known as the Mounties are the federal and national police service of Canada providing law enforcement at the federal level. The RCMP also provide provincial policing in eight of Canada's provinces all except Ontario and Quebec and local policing on a contract basis in the three territories Northwest Territories Nunavut and Yukon and more than 150 municipalities 600 Indigenous communities and three international airports. The RCMP do not provide active provincial or municipal policing in Ontario or Quebec. However all members of the RCMP have jurisdiction as a peace officer in all provinces and territories of Canada.13 Despite the name the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are no longer an actual mounted police service with horses only being used at ceremonial events. As Canada's national police service the RCMP are primarily responsible for enforcing federal laws throughout Canada whereas general law and order including the enforcement of the Criminal Code and applicable provincial legislation is constitutionally the responsibility of the provinces and territories. Larger cities may form their own municipal police departments. There are eight provinces that contract policing responsibilities to the RCMP which provides front-line policing in those provinces under the direction of the provincial governments. When Newfoundland joined the confederation in 1949 the RCMP entered the province and absorbed the Newfoundland Ranger Force which patrolled most of Newfoundland's rural areas. The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary patrols urban areas of the province. In the territories the RCMP is the sole territorial police force. Many municipalities throughout Canada contract to the RCMP. Thus the RCMP polices at the federal provincial and municipal level. In some areas of Canada it is the only police force. The RCMP is responsible for much of Canada's security and policing. Under their federal mandate the RCMP police throughout Canada including Ontario and Quebec. Federal operations include: enforcing federal laws including commercial crime counterfeiting drug trafficking border integrity organized crime and other related matters; providing counter-terrorism and domestic security; providing protection services for the Canadian monarch governor general prime minister their families and residences and other ministers of the Crown visiting dignitaries and diplomatic missions; and participating in various international policing efforts. Under provincial and municipal contracts the RCMP provides front-line policing in all areas outside of Ontario and Quebec that do not have an established local police force. There are detachments located in small villages in the far north remote First Nations reserves and rural towns but also larger cities such as Surrey British Columbia. There support units investigate for their own detachments as well as smaller municipal police forces. Investigations include major crimes homicides forensic identification collision forensics police dogs emergency response teams explosives disposal and undercover operations. Under its National Police Services branch the RCMP supports all police forces in Canada via the Canadian Police Information Centre Criminal Intelligence Service Canada Forensic Science and Identification Services Canadian Firearms Program and the Canadian Police College.

1984Best.-Nr. 81137New York N.Y.: Harper & Row Publishers 1984. First Edition Stated First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Thomas Victor author's photograph. 10 294 pages. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Minor fep discoloration bookplate removed Signed by the author Saul Bellow on the front free endpaper. The book includes five stories: Him with His Foot in His Mouth; What Kind of Day did You Have; Zetland: By a Character Witness; A Silver Dish; and Cousins. Saul Bellow born Solomon Bellows; 10 June 1915 - 5 April 2005 was a Canadian-American writer. For his literary work Bellow was awarded the Pulitzer Prize the Nobel Prize for Literature and the National Medal of Arts. He is the only writer to win the National Book Award for Fiction three times and he received the National Book Foundation's lifetime Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters in 1990. In the words of the Swedish Nobel Committee his writing exhibited "the mixture of rich picaresque novel and subtle analysis of our culture of entertaining adventure drastic and tragic episodes in quick succession interspersed with philosophic conversation all developed by a commentator with a witty tongue and penetrating insight into the outer and inner complications that drive us to act or prevent us from acting and that can be called the dilemma of our age." His best-known works include The Adventures of Augie March Henderson the Rain King Herzog Mr. Sammler's Planet Seize the Day Humboldt's Gift and Ravelstein. Bellow was widely regarded as one of the 20th century's greatest authors. Bellow said that of all his characters Eugene Henderson of Henderson the Rain King was the one most like himself. This book is a series of histories of personality of self-awakening that the author means to apply to us all. It also represents an important departure from the way stories are being written today in America and its publication was therefore a major event not only in the bountiful career of its author but also in American letters. The author won the 1976 Nobel Prize in Literature. Derived from a Kirkus review: Here in five short works from the past decade those seemingly contradictory roles-the darkly comic memoirist the thorny essayist-are on more rewarding display occasionally even blending in a richly charming way. One story "A Silver Dish" is the memoirist/family side of Bellow virtually undiluted: a 60-year-old South Chicago businessman reacts exuberantly to the death of his old father-in a memory-montage that showcases Bellow's boisterous visceral ironic warmth. In other pieces chunks of zesty family/friend reminiscence and personal psychology are shaded with cultural musings or implications. The brief fragmentary "Zetland: By a Character Witness" recalls the early life of a Chicago intellectual/bohemian rebelling against his old-fashioned Jewish family; the subtext is a gently mordant view of all intellectual idealism. In "Cousins" the narrator is a law-expert/celebrity who uses his influence to get a light sentence for his gangster-cousin Tanky; here the inability to "extricate myself from the ties of Jewish cousinhood" leads to memories of other cousins to anthropological puzzles to the conflict within a family or within a single personality between the "brainy" and the gutsy. And most effective of all in the weaving of earthy tale-spinning with meditation is the title story: narrator Harry a 65-ish musicologist who's hiding out in Vancouver is writing an apology to the long-ago victim of one of his many cruel wisecracks; he recounts the Balzac-like money/family mistakes which got him into his present mess; and without strain or contrivance this confession/self-analysis winds through such oddly relevant matters as Allen Ginsberg the breeding of pit bulldogs music vs. materialism and Jewish assimilationism. The longest piece here-the novella-length "What Kind of Day Did You Have"-is about an affair between a youngish divorcee and a famous old art critic becomes a frame for wrestlings with Marxism celebrity and intellectual hucksterism. Much of this welcome gathering presents the restless Bellow voice in full cry-taut colorful Talmudic and large-hearted. Harper & Row, Publishers hardcover
1946Best.-Nr. 70210Chicago IL: University of Chicago Press 1946. Presumed first edition/first printing. Hardcover. Good. No dust jacket. Parts of torn DJ present. Cover has wear and soiling. 228 p. 22 cm. From a posting on-line: "Legendary community organizer Saul Alinsky inspired a generation of activists and politicians with Reveille for Radicals the original handbook for social change. Alinsky writes both practically and philosophically never wavering from his belief that the American dream can only be achieved by an active democratic citizenship. First published in 1946 and updated in 1969 with a new introduction and afterword this classic volume is a bold call to action that still resonates today." From Wikipedia: "Saul David Alinsky January 30 1909 June 12 1972 was an American community organizer and writer. He is generally considered to be the founder of modern community organizing. He is often noted for his book Rules for Radicals. In the course of nearly four decades of political organizing Alinsky received much criticism but also gained praise from many public figures. His organizing skills were focused on improving the living conditions of poor communities across North America. In the 1950s he began turning his attention to improving conditions in the African-American ghettos beginning with Chicago's and later traveling to other ghettos in California Michigan New York City and a dozen other "trouble spots"."
