1991390 pages. In this landmark book, many of the best minds in "English Canada" set out their position and agenda vis-a-vis the Quebec crisis. They argue cogently for Canada's survival as a tolerant, purposeful, independent state, with or without Quebec. Brings a much needed dose of clarity and realism to the questions raised by Quebec's demands for greater powers and possible separation. Addresses possible solutions and looks at the processes of accommodation, renewal or separation. In so doing, it provides a crucial definition of "English Canada" today. Very light wear.

1965103 pages. Former owner's information upon half-title page. English Canada's reply to the so-called 'French Fact." Imagine the English Canadians finally having their say about Quebec! There's a chuckle on every page - more than one on many occasions - to help make some of the uglier facts more palatable. A perffect blend of humour and history, of laughter and of shock. Perhaps the first real attempt by English Canadians to say a strong 'phooey' to all the French unrest in Quebec. Accomplished with sophistication and wit... agree with it or not... you'll be entertained greatly and probably slightly educated at the same time. Book

1999rif. Mode56565650724Paris, Presses de l'Université de Paris-Sorbonne / Sillery (Québec), Les Editions du Septentrion, 1999, 15 x 23, 304 pages sous couverture souple illustrée. Ouvrage enrichi de quelques dessins noir & blanc. "Introduites en Europe par les explorateurs, les pêcheurs de morue, les chasseurs de baleines ainsi que par quelques traiteurs audacieux, les fourrures d'origine nord-américaine pénètrent graduellement sur le marché français au cours du XVIe siècle. C'est de cette époque méconnue que traite le présent ouvrage et plus précisément des trente dernières années de ce siècle : une période cruciale durant laquelle quelques artisans du vêtement du quartier des Halles, à Paris, décident de remettre à la mode du jour une coutume vestimentaire oubliée depuis le XVe siècle, le chapeau de castor. Le contexte est bien sûr pour quelque chose dans le choix de ces artisans : la déstabilisation des réseaux d'approvisionnement des Flandres ou de la Baltique et la confrontation des pays en Europe s'unissent, à cette époque, pour faire monter le prix des pelleteries européennes et ouvrent, en quelque sorte, une brèche aux fourrures d'origine nord-américaine moins dispendieuses. Cette alchimie complexe qui s'opère à la fin des années 1570 entre marchés émergents, coutumes vestimentaires et fourrures nord-américaines est lourde de conséquences, puisqu'elle encourage de plus en plus de gens à croire en la viabilité d'un projet colonial en Amérique appuyé sur les pêcheries françaises à Terre-Neuve, mais surtout rentabilisé par l'exploitation des fourrures. Le livre présente une vision cohérente de cette période capitale dont l'histoire est longtemps demeurée au stade de la spéculation et qui n'a pas fini de livrer ses secrets et de réserver des surprises."
