1967342 pages including index and many black and white photographs. "The years between 1822 and 1967 saw Canadian history in the making, not only in large cities and populated areas, but also in small rural communities such as Douro in Peterborough County. Herein are chronicled facts of historical importance in the area. There are also glimpses into the lives of many who served the township well during the generations. Some of these were very colourful folk indeed. Several of Canada's best known writers were domiciled here. Pioneer days in Upper Canada are recalled from old records, diaries and family lore.... Those who get to know Douro in these pages will appreciate how proud its natives are of their township and why many visitors return here year after year. Here is law observance and a history of good interfaith and interracial relations which could be a model for all Canada" - from dust jacket. Small gift greetings atop page III else sparkling clean and unmarked. Faintest wear overall. Dust jacket now preserved in Brodart cover. A beautiful copy. Book

2007LA CITTà DEL SOLE LIBRAIIE PHILOSOPHIQUE J. VRIN 2007 266 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: PARI AL NUOVO La violence habite l’histoire dont sont tissés individus et sociétés. Elle s’est imposée comme l’éponyme de notre époque qui, d’être marquée du paroxysme de son explosion quantitative et qualitative, s’affole de répertorier ses figures et d’exorciser ses méfaits. Mythologies, religions, philosophies, activités artistiques, littératures, jusqu’à nos modernes thrillers, il est peu de récits ou de représentations qui ne l’évoquent pas et ne fassent écho à ces grands paradigmes que sont le Livre de Job, la martyrologie picturale ou les démences des tragédies. Polymorphe et polysémique, elle est porteuse d’une souffrance qui balance entre l’infligé et le subi, l’intermittent et le continu, l’accidentel et le tenace. Sa constance et l’insaisissable de ses métamorphoses déjouent conjurations et anathèmes. Son concubinage entêté avec la politique égare le jugement et se dérobe aux filets éthiques. Familière des systèmes, qui la produisent et la reproduisent à l’envi, elle se trouve aujourd’hui au coeur de notre mondialité. Les associations de malfaiteurs dont elle représente l’émanation ont abandonné les arrière-salles, pour siéger dans les états-majors, les conseils d’administration et les cabinets ministériels. Partant, les légitimes résistances que provoque cette violence structurelle ouvrent à nouveau la voie à la violence émancipatrice. Georges Labica, professeur émérite des Universités, a enseigné la philosophie politique et singulièrement l’histoire et la théorie du marxisme à l’Université de Paris-X Nanterre
