The University of Chicago Press A Year with Nature An Almanac
Book SynopsisA bedside book for nature lovers, this gathers science and lore, natural history and wit and wisdom, into a day-by-day wander through the year.Trade Review"A well-written, accessible, evocative, and educational daily reader. I found myself getting into a rhythm, paying close attention to what a particular date's entry was going to teach me, where it might even take me emotionally. Crump has also managed a subtle narrative arc over the whole collection, enhanced by the wonderfully quirky illustrations. A Year with Nature is a fine, inspiring volume, one that could end up on many an end table, office desk, or daily tote bag."--Harry W.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd The Brecht Yearbook Das BrechtJahrbuch 43
Book SynopsisThe leading scholarly publication on Brecht; volume 43 contains a wealth of articles on diverse topics and a reconstruction of the two-chorus version of The Exception and the Rule.Published for the International Brecht Society by Camden House, the Brecht Yearbook is the central scholarly forum for discussion of Brecht's life and work and of topics of interest to him, especially the politics of literature and theater in a global context. It encourages a wide variety of perspectives and approaches and, like Brecht, is committed to the use value of literature, theater, and theory. Volume 43 opens with a reconstruction of Brecht's two-chorus version of The Exception and the Rule (Reiner Steinweg) and continues with a selection of Helmut Heißenbüttel's reviews of Brecht's work. Four articles (by Christine Künzel, Carsten Mindt, Judith Niehaus,and Sebastian Schuller) address Brechtian aspects of Gisela Elsner's novels. The next two essays (by Hunter Bivens and Friedemann Weidauer) revisit Brecht's reflections on affect and empathy. Also included are papers from the 2016IBS "Recycling Brecht" Symposium: on Brecht's recycling of Lenin in his "neue Dramatik" (Joseph Dial), on Paul Celan as a reconfiguration of Brecht (Paul Peters), on Brecht's adaptation of Shakespeare's Coriolanus (MartinRevermann), and on Hilary Mantel's Brechtian reconfiguration of Thomas Cromwell (Markus Wessendorf). The volume features Richard Schröder's farewell lecture on Brecht's Life of Galileo and an essay by Ulrich Plass on BerndStegemann's allegedly Brechtian reclamation of critical realism. It concludes with Zhang Wei's interview with the Chinese dramaturg, playwright, and Brecht translator Li Jianming. Editor Markus Wessendorf is a Professorin the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa in Honolulu.Table of ContentsCRITICAL EDITION OF DIE AUSNAHME UND DIE REGEL Editionsbericht: Die Ausnahme und die Regel - Reiner Steinweg Die Ausnahme und die Regel (Lehrstueckfassung in zwei Choeren, hrsg. von Reiner Steinweg) - Bertolt Brecht HELMUT HEISSENBUETTEL ON BRECHT Helmut Heissenbuettel empfiehlt zum Lesen: Dreigroschenroman von Bertolt Brecht (1967) - Helmut Heissenbuettel Wann ist Musik dumm?

University of Toronto Press Canadian Annual Review of Politics and Public
Book SynopsisThe Canadian Annual Review of Politics and Public Affairs is an acclaimed series that offers informed commentary on important national events and thoughtfully considers their significance in local and international contexts. This latest instalment reviews the year 2005, a year in which the first minority parliament since Joe Clark''s short-lived government struggled to maintain stability.It was also in 2005 that the Gomery Commission delivered its initial report on the sponsorship scandal, outlining irregularities surrounding the advertising program of the Liberal government. At a historic First Ministers' meeting in Kelowna, premiers and Aboriginal leaders developed a plan to improve the lives of Indigenous peoples. Canada''s involvement in Afghanistan continued (albeit in ever-changing roles), and Justice Dennis O''Connor went forward with his investigation into the torture of Maher Arar.

University of Toronto Press Canadian Annual Review of Politics and Public Affairs 2007
Book SynopsisThe Canadian Annual Review of Politics and Public Affairs is an acclaimed series that offers informed commentary on important national events and considers their significance in local and international contexts. This latest instalment covers a year of dramatic activity in provincial politics.In 2007 the economy continued on its remarkable run of growth, allowing the new Conservative government to continue its predecessor’s tradition of presenting a balanced budget while further reducing Canadians’ taxes and increasing government spending. With the opposition Liberals not looking to engineer a quick election, federal politics was both cautious and static. In the provinces, however, the Liberals won electoral victories in Quebec and Ontario, while the NDP won a third consecutive election in Manitoba. The Canadian dollar rose past parity with the American for the first time in almost 31 years, and the country celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Charter ofTable of ContentsContributors Canadian Calendar Editor's Introduction - The Year in Review Parliament and Politics by Robert Everett (York University, Secretariat) National Institutions Cabinet; By-elections; Liberal veterans depart; House transitions; Electoral law; 'In and out' transactions in campaign 2006; Senate; Speech from the Throne; Auditor General's reports Notes on Partisan Politics Conservative Party; Liberal Party; New Democratic Party; Green Party; Bloc Quebecois; Party finances Budget and Economics Economic indicators; Budget 2007-08; Equalization; Autumn economic update; Bank of Canada turnover; Mergers and acquisitions; Omnibus tax reform and the hidden trapdoor Afghanistan Justice Criminal Code amendments; Cannabis laws and anti-drug strategies; Gun registry; Security certificates The Environment Greenhouse emissions: turning the corner, or stepping back?

Book SynopsisThe Canadian Annual Review of Politics and Public Affairs is an acclaimed series that offers informed commentary on important national events and considers their significance in local and international contexts. This latest instalment reviews one of the most dramatic years in recent Canadian political history.While the country seemed solid both politically and economically at the beginning of 2008, by late summer trouble in the financial markets left banks and other financial institutions around the world on the brink of collapse. As the situation unfolded, Prime Minister Harper violated the spirit of his fixed election law and called a snap election, sensing the prospect of a Conservative majority. When the election returned another minority, Canada was plunged into a constitutional crisis that rivalled, if not surpassed, the King-Byng affair of 1926.
