Industrial Development and Eco-Tourisms by Mark C.J. Stoddart,Alice Mattoni,John McLevey Pdf

This book examines the “oil-tourism interface”, the broad range of direct and indirect contact points between offshore oil extraction and nature-based tourism. Offshore oil extraction and nature-based tourism are pursued as development paths across the North Atlantic region. Offshore oil promises economic benefits from employment and royalty payments to host societies, but is based on fossil fuel-intensive resource extraction. Nature-based tourism, instead, is based on experiencing natural environments and encountering wildlife, including whales, seals, or seabirds. They share social-ecological space, such as oceans, coastlines, cities and towns where tourism and offshore oil operations and offices are located. However, they rarely share cultural or political space, in terms of media coverage, public debate, or policy discussion that integrates both modes of development. Through a comparative analysis of Denmark, Iceland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Norway, and Scotland, this book offers important lessons for how coastal societies can better navigate relationships between resource extraction and nature-based tourism in the interests of social-ecological wellbeing.

Religion and Canadian Party Politics by David Rayside,Jerald Sabin,Paul E.J. Thomas Pdf

Religion is usually thought of as inconsequential to contemporary Canadian politics. This book takes a hard look at just how much influence faith continues to have in federal, provincial, and territorial arenas. Drawing on case studies from across the country, it explores three important axes of religiously based contention – Protestant vs. Catholic, conservative vs. reformer, and, more recently, opponents vs. defenders of accommodating minority religious practices. Although the extent of partisan engagement with each of these sources of conflict has varied across time and region, the authors show that religion still matters in shaping political oppositions. These themes are illuminated by comparisons to the role faith plays in the politics of other Western industrialized societies.

Degrees of Nakedness by Lisa Moore Pdf

In Degrees of Nakedness, Lisa Moore's first story collection, the joys and distresses of love course through modern-day Newfoundland like an electric current. Lisa Moore's stories are bright, emotionally engaging, tangible. She marks out the precious moments of her characters' lives against deceptively commonplace backdrops -- a St. John's hospital cafeteria lit only by the lights in the snack machines; a half-built house "like a rib cage around a lungful of sky" -- and the results linger long in the memory. In Degrees of Nakedness Lisa Moore shows us that love, alongside desire, can sometimes come as a surprise, sometimes an ambush.

The Debt by Andreae Callanan Pdf

Finalist for the 2022 Fred Cogswell Award for Excellence in Poetry • Shortlisted for the 2023 E.J. Pratt Family Poetry Award Set against the backdrop of a post-moratorium St. John’s, Newfoundland, The Debt explores tensions between tradition and innovation, and between past and present in a province unmoored by loss and grief. The Debt is about development and change, idleness and activism, ecological stewardship, feminism, motherhood, the personal and the political. It is also about resistance—against the encroaching forces of greed and capitalism, even against the accumulated notions of the self. The poems are an argument for community and connection in an age increasingly associated with isolation of the individual. The Debt explores the dues we all owe: to nature, to those who came before us, and to one another.

Muskrat Falls by Stephen Crocker,Lisa Moore Pdf

"For almost a decade now, the 13 billion dollar Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project has been a central defining problem in the public life of Newfoundland and Labrador. As the essays collected in Muskrat Falls: How a Mega-Dam Became a Predatory Formation show, the dam's promise of clean hydro-power has been accompanied by an interconnected assemblage of crises linking together the threat of methylmercury poisoning with catastrophic flooding and cultural genocide for people living near the dam, and unmanageable public debt, suppression of alternative energy and threats to affordable domestic heat and electricity for everyone else. Its planning and development have involved the weakening of public regulatory bodies and the creation of a more privatized and less publicly accountable crown corporation overseeing the operation. Muskrat Falls: How a Mega-Dam Became a Predatory Formation offers a multi-dimensional analysis of the social, political and environmental problems the hydroelectric project has caused. It covers issues including Indigenous resistance to the dam; the politics and economics of the project; the role of journalism and social media in covering the event; controversy about the geophysical stability of the dam and interviews people living under threat of flooding and methylmercury poisoning downstream. The volume also contains original artwork and photography about the dam and fictional prose about life in the area around the Falls. Muskrat Falls will be of interest to local readers trying to understand how the dam will change life in the province and to anyone trying to understand and respond to any of the very many other similar, crisis-ridden energy and infrastructure projects being built around the world now. The book provides a rich case study of a crisis for scholars and students interested in areas such as energy studies, environmental humanities, Indigenous studies, critical infrastructure studies, and Canadian studies."--

Why Did We Choose to Industrialize? by Robert C.H. Sweeny Pdf

The choice to industrialize has changed the world more than any other decision in human history. And yet the three prevailing explanations - the technical (new energy sources), the Marxist (new social relations), and the neo-liberal (people became more industrious) - are inadequate in making sense of this fundamental change. In mid-nineteenth-century Montreal, as in other early industrializing societies, change occurred as a result of the choices people made when faced with unprecedented opportunities and constraints. Montreal was the first colonial city to industrialize. Its overlapping French and English legal traditions mean that people's actions were exceptionally well documented for a North American city. Robert Sweeny’s novel reading of sources like city directories, ordinance surveys, monetary protests, and apprenticeship contracts leads him to develop important critiques of both mainstream and progressive historiography. He shows how the choice to industrialize was tied to the development of completely new ways of thinking about the world on three inter-related levels: how should we relate to each other, to property, and to nature? In Montreal, as in all the other early industrializing societies, thought preceded action. Sweeny illuminates the personal and familial decisions that tens of thousands of people made by the mid-nineteenth century which already prefigured much of what industrialized Montreal would look like in 1880. At a moment when global conflict is tied to resources and climate change, Sweeny shows how fundamental decision making can determine widespread social change. Informed by four decades of scholarship, Why Did We Choose to Industrialize? Is a politically engaged argument about history, a sustained reflection on sources and method in historical practice, and a singular vantage point on the ideas that have shaped historical understandings of industrialization.

Canadian Politics, Sixth Edition by James Bickerton,Alain-G. Gagnon Pdf

The sixth edition of Canadian Politics offers a comprehensive introduction to Canadian government and politics by a highly respected group of political scientists. For this edition, the editors have organized the book into six parts. Part I examines Canadian citizenship and political identities, while Parts II and III deal with Canadian political institutions, including Aboriginal governments, and contain new chapters on the public service and Quebec. Parts IV and V shift the focus to the political process, discussing issues pertaining to culture and values, parties and elections, media, groups, movements, gender, and diversity. The chapters on Parliament, bureaucracy, political culture, political communications, social movements, and media are new to this edition. Finally, three chapters in the last section of the book analyze components of Canadian politics that have been gaining prominence during the last decade: the effects of globalization, the shifting ground of Canadian-American relations, and the place of Canada in the changing world order. Of the 21 chapters in this edition, 9 are new and the remainder have been thoroughly revised and updated.
