History

Sins of the Flesh A History of Ethical Vegetarian Thought Rod Preece In the field of animal studies, Rod Preece is a world-renowned scholar, and this current volume confirms that his reputation is well deserved. – Jodey Castricano, editor of Animal Subjects Preece’s nuanced assessments of this history are worthy of consideration by both animal rightists and their opponents. – Daniel A. Dombrowski, author of The Philosophy of Vegetarianism

The issue of our ethical obligations to non human animals has been the subject of lively debate, and many books have been written on the subject. Sins of the Flesh will be an important addition to this literature. – Steve F. Sapontzis, author Morals, Reason, and Animals

Unlike previous books on the history of vegetarianism, Sins of the Flesh examines the history of vegetarianism in its ethical dimensions, from the origins of humanity through to the present. Full ethical consideration for animals resulting in the eschewing of flesh arose after the Aristotelian period in Greece and recurred in Ancient Rome, but then mostly disappeared for centuries. Despite the occasional presence of ascetic and cultural vegetarianism, it was not until the turn of the nineteenth century that vegetarian thought was revived and enjoyed some success; it subsequently went into another period of decline that lasted through much of the twentieth century. The authority-questioning cultural revolution of the 1960s brought a fresh resurgence of vegetarian ethics that continues to the present day. Sins of the Flesh is a groundbreaking history of ethical vegetarianism that will appeal to all readers concerned with human-animal relations and the foundations of animal rights. Rod Preece is Professor Emeritus at Wilfrid Laurier University.

In Mixed Company

History

Taverns and Public Life in Upper Canada Julia Roberts In Mixed Company explores taverns as colonial public space and how men and women of diverse backgrounds – Native and newcomer, privileged and labouring, white and non-white – negotiated a place for themselves within them. The stories that emerge unsettle comfortable certainties about who belonged where in colonial society. Reconstructed from tavern-keepers’ accounts, court records, diaries, travelogues, and letters, In Mixed Company is essential reading for tavern aficionados and anyone interested in the history of gender, race, and culture in Canadian or colonial society. The records of the past tell stories of time spent in mixed company but also of the myriad, unequal ways that colonists found room in taverns and a place in Upper Canadian culture and society.

From the ancient poet Sappho to tombois in contemporary Indonesia, women throughout history and around the globe have desired, loved, and had sex with other women. In beautiful prose, Sapphistries tells their stories, capturing the multitude of ways that diverse societies have shaped female same-sex sexuality across time and place. Leila J. Rupp reveals how, from the time of the very earliest societies, the possibility of love between women has been known, even when it is feared, ignored, or denied. We hear women in the sex-segregated spaces of convents and harems whispering words of love. We see women beginning to find each other on

the streets of London and Amsterdam, in the aristocratic circles of Paris, in the factories of Shanghai. We find women’s desire and love for women meeting the light of day as Japanese schoolgirls fall in love, and lesbian bars and clubs spread from 1920s Berlin to 1950s Buffalo. And we encounter a world of difference in the twenty-first century, as transnational concepts and lesbian identities meet local understandings of how two women might love each other. Giving voice to words from the mouths and pens of women, and from men’s prohibitions, reports, literature, art, imaginings, pornography, and court cases, Rupp also creatively employs fiction to imagine possibilities when there is no historical evidence. Sapphistries combines lyrical narrative with meticulous historical research, providing an eminently readable and uniquely sweeping story of desire, love, and sex between women around the globe from the beginning of time to the present. Leila J. Rupp is professor of feminist studies and associate dean of the division of social sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is author of many books, including A Desired Past: A Short History of Same-Sex Sexuality in America.

Becoming British Columbia A Population History John Douglas Belshaw This book demonstrates the significance of demographic knowledge to our understanding of the province’s history and its historiography.

The introduction of exotic diseases changed the human landscape almost overnight, as did gold rushes, industrialization, two world wars, a baby boom, late twentieth-century immigration from Asia, and a grey wave.

kind of society. John Belshaw overturns the widespread tendency to associate population growth with progress by examining how the province’s Aboriginal population of as much as half a million was reduced by disease to fewer than 30,000 people in less than a century. He reveals that the province has a long tradition of thinking and acting vigorously in ways meant to control and shape biological communities of humans, and suggests that imperialism, race, class, and gender have historically situated population issues at the centre of public consciousness in British Columbia.

An original and fascinating study of minority religious rights in Canadian society during wartime. Crisis of Conscience will be an important source for readers interested in pacifism, antiwar sentiment, and peace movements, not just in Canada but in the wider western world. – David Marshall, author of Secularizing the Faith: Canadian Protestant Clergy and the Crisis of Belief, 1850-1940

The First World War’s appalling death toll and the need for a sense of equality of sacrifice on the home front led to Canada’s first experience of overseas conscription. While historians have focused on resistance to enforced military service in Quebec, this has obscured the important role of those who saw military service as incompatible with their religious or ethical beliefs. Crisis of Conscience is the first and only book about the Canadian pacifists who refused to fight in the Great War. The experience of these conscientious objectors offers insight into evolving attitudes about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship during a key period of Canadian nation building. This book will appeal to readers interested in Canadian military and peace history. The book is also relevant to those concerned with questions of voluntarism and obligation in a democratic society, and issues of gender history and minority freedom and identity. Amy J. Shaw is an assistant professor in the Department of History at the University of Lethbridge.

From Cronkite to Colbert explains why. It examines an historical path that begins at the height of the network age with Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow, when the evening news was considered the authoritative record of the day’s events and forged our assumptions about what “the news” is, or should be.

Shooting Up Counterinsurgency and the War on Drugs Vanda Felbab-Brown Policymakers see counterinsurgency and counternarcotics policy as two sides of the same coin – stop the flow of drug money, and the insurgency will wither away. This timely book vividly shows how that conventional wisdom is dangerously wrongheaded. Vanda Felbab-Brown shows how guerrilla and terrorist organizations – such as the Taliban, Peru’s Shining Path, and Colombia’s FARC – have learned to exploit illicit markets. Aggressive efforts to suppress the drug trade typically backfire by allowing insurgents to pose as the population’s protectors and win further legitimacy. A combination of laissez-faire toward cultivation and aggressive pursuit of traffickers is more likely to be fruitful.

People went to church, ate dinner, and relaxed with family and friends. But late that afternoon, calamity struck when a violent thunderstorm brought heavy rain and hail to the mountains and bare hills south of town. In Calamity, Joann Byrd, a native of eastern Oregon, carefully documents the poignant story of this small farm town in northeastern Oregon when one of every five people in the prosperous town of 1,300 would lose their lives, as the floodwaters pulled apart and carried away nearly everything in its path.

David Amram has played and rambled and galloped and staggered through a remarkably broad sweep of American life, experience, and creative struggle. The Boston Globe has described him as “the Renaissance man of American Music.” Amram and Jack Kerouac collaborated on the first-ever jazz poetry reading in New York City in 1957 as well as the subsequent legendary film Pull My Daisy in 1959,

combining Amram’s music with Kerouac’s narration. Amram, honoured as the first Composer-in-Residence of the New York Philharmonic, has composed more than 100 orchestral and chamber works, written two operas, and has collaborated with Leonard Bernstein, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Charles Mingus, Dustin Hoffman, Thelonious Monk, Willie Nelson, Nancy Griffith, Johnny Depp, and more.

Puget Sound Through an Artist’s Eye Tony Angell Foreword by Ivan Doig For nearly fifty years artist and naturalist Tony Angell has used Puget Sound’s natural diversity as his palette. In this book, he describes the living systems within the Sound and shares his observations and encounters with the species that make up the complex communities of the Sound’s rivers, tidal flats, islands, and beaches: the fledging flight of a young peregrine, an otter playfully herding a small red rockfish, the grasp of a curious octopus. Angell goes on to explain the methods he uses in his art. The shapes, movements, patterns, and even temperatures and smells that he experiences in the field are all brought to bear on his work. His drawings bring clarity to his visual and emotional memories, and his sculptures allow him to approach a memory from many directions and retain that memory in

How Individual Choices Make Cultures Change W. Penn Handwerker What makes a 17-year-old girl decide to wrap a bomb around her body, walk into a supermarket, and detonate it, killing herself and an 18-year old girl shopping there? In this provocative and important book, renowned anthropologist W. Penn Handwerker shows that individual choices, from the fatal to the mundane, are fundamentally questions of culture – what it is, where it comes from, and the complex ways it changes and evolves. In accessible and engaging prose, he walks readers through the process of how the human imagination produces new things, shaped by culture and experience but also constantly evolving in unpredictable ways. He shows how understanding cultural dynamics, which explain one girl’s decision to murder and another girl’s

decision to shop, will help us address critical policy questions, from reducing the likelihood of terrorist attacks to responding to global epidemics and addressing climate change. W. Penn Handwerker is professor of anthropology at the University of Connecticut. August 2009, 144 pages, 6 x 9" 978-1-59874-068-4 PB $28.95 Culture • Anthropology Left Coast Press, Inc

Science and Politics in Human Origins Research Claudio Tuniz, Richard Gillespie and Cheryl Jones We are all descended from a single woman whose descendants left Africa 70,000 years ago and populated the planet. Or are we? The Eve Hypothesis, a dogma among researchers in human origins for the past two decades, is coming under increasing challenge by a new generation of Bone Readers. This group of scholars study the earliest human remains, their chemistry and DNA, their extinct floral and faunal contemporaries, and the geologic layers in which they were found. Focusing on anomalous discoveries in Australia, the Pacific islands, and the Americas, these scholars are challenging the reigning hypothesis of modern human origins. Other hypotheses—about “hobbits,”

Ecology & Wonder The Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site Robert W. Sandford This book makes a couple of remarkable claims. The first is that the greatest cultural achievement in the mountain region of Western Canada may be what has been preserved, not what has been developed. The second is that protecting the spine of the Rocky Mountains will preserve crucial ecological functions. Because the process of ecosystem diminishment and species loss has been slowed, an ecological thermostat has been kept alive, which may well be an important defence against future climate change impacts in the Canadian west.

Chasing Molecules Poisonous Products, Human Health, and the Promise of Green Chemistry Elizabeth Grossman In Chasing Molecules, Elizabeth Grossman shows how ordinary items found in most American homes are threatening our health and why new innovations in chemistry could make day-to-day life safer. Grossman, an acclaimed journalist who brought national attention to the contaminants hidden in computers and other high-tech electronics, now explores the promise of materials that are “benign by design.“ There’s no question chemicals can be put to ingenious use: making coats waterproof, pans nonstick, and mascara glide. But these wondrous materials can also cause cancer, interfere with reproduction, even make us fat. Green chemistry has the potential to end this trade-off. Groundbreaking research is producing materials that mimic, rather than pollute, nature. Through interviews with leading

scientists, Grossman gives us a first look at this fundamental transformation of everyday products. The resulting story offers hope for a rarity at the intersection of health, the environment, and industry: a win-win. Elizabeth Grossman is the author of Watershed: The Undamming of America and Adventuring Along the Lewis and Clark Trail and co-editor of Shadow Cat: Encountering the American Mountain Lion.

Don’t Be Such a Scientist Talking Substance in an Age of Style Randy Olson After nearly a decade on the defensive, the world of science is about to be restored to its rightful place. But is the American public really ready for science? And is the world of science ready for the American public?

In Don’t Be Such a Scientist, he shares the secrets of talking substance in an age of style. The key, he argues, is to stay true to the facts while tapping into something more primordial, more irrational, and ultimately more human.

Enter Randy Olson. Fifteen years ago, Olson bid farewell to the science world and shipped off to Hollywood ready to change the world. With films like Flock of Dodos: The Evolution-Intelligent Design Circus (Tribeca ‘06, Showtime) and Sizzle: A Global Warming Comedy (Outfest ‘08), he has tried to bridge the cultural divide that has too often left science on the outside looking in. Now, in his first book, Olson recounts the lessons from his own hilarious – and at times humiliating – evolution from science professor to Hollywood filmmaker.

Randy Olson earned his Ph.D. at Harvard University and achieved tenure at the University of New Hampshire before resigning and moving to Hollywood, obtaining an M.F.A. from the University of Southern California School of Cinema, and embarking on a second career as a filmmaker.

Economics sometimes seems to be stacked against social, environmental, and individual wellbeing. But it doesn’t have to be like this. A new approach to economics – deriving as much from Ruskin and Schumacher as from Keynes or Smith – has begun to emerge. Skeptical about money as a measure of success, this new economics turns our assumptions about wealth and poverty upside down. It shows us that real wealth can be measured by increased well-being and environmental sustainability rather than just having and consuming more things.

ADHD Living Without Brakes Martin L. Kutscher MD The author describes the spectrum of ADHD, the co-occurring symptoms, and common difficulties that parents face. The rest of the book focuses on solutions, based around four rules. Rule number one is keeping it positive: punishments can change behaviour, but only positive approaches can improve attitude. Rule number two is keeping it calm: it’s difficult thinking clearly enough to solve problems logically if you are feeling overwhelmed. Rule number three is keeping it organized: this rule relates particularly to the child’s school life. Rule number four is to keep doing rules one to three. Finally, Dr. Kutscher discusses the role of medication for treating ADHD.

The Reluctant Land Society, Space, and Environment in Canada before Confederation Cole Harris Winner, 2008 K.D. Srivastava Prize for Excellence in Scholarly Publishing The Reluctant Land describes the evolving pattern of settlement and the changing relationships of people and land in Canada from the end of the fifteenth century to the Confederation years of the late 1860s and early 1870s. It shows how a deeply indigenous land was reconstituted in European terms, and, at the same time, how European ways were recalibrated in this non-European space. It also shows how an archipelago of scattered settlement emerged out of an encounter with a parsimonious land, and suggests how deeply this encounter differed from an American relationship with abundance.

Poems for a Small Park E. D. Blodgett Blodgett wrote his poems for a small park in English and some in French, but had some of them translated into Cree, Michif, Chinese, and Ukrainian to reflect Edmonton’s unique multicultural ambience and the roles of diverse cultures in the making of the city. The powerful images and thoughtful metaphors in these short lyrics show readers the connections between Canadian nature (even within city limits) and the sublime, especially in the overwhelming silence we can sense outdoors – if we pay attention. The poet helps us see natural phenomena around us in a different light each time we read his poems. 2009, 176 pages, 6 x 9" 16 colour photographs 978-1-897425-33-6 PB $19.95 Distributed for AU Press

Icon, Brand, Myth

Northern Rover The Life Story of Olaf Hanson A. L. Karras with Olaf Hanson

The Calgary Exhibition and Stampede Max Foran This book investigates the meanings and iconography of the Stampede: an invented tradition that takes over the city of Calgary for 10 days every July. Since 1923, archetypal “Cowboys and Indians” are seen again at the chuckwagon races, on the midway, and throughout Calgary. Each essay in this collection examines a facet of the experience – from the images on advertising posters to the ritual of the annual parade. This study of the Calgary Stampede as a social phenomenon reveals the history and sociology of the city of Calgary and a component of the social construction of identity for western Canada as a whole.

Olaf Hanson’s colourful, encouraging, and at times tragic story teaches us valuable lessons still today, nearly 30 years after A. L. Karras assembled this work from Hanson’s own weathered notes and vibrant memory. – Anthony G. Gulig, University of WisconsinWhitewater A.L. Karras was the author of the Saskatchewan classics North to Cree Lake and Face the North Wind. January 2009 (3rd printing), 224 pages, 6 x 9" 978-1-897425-01-5 PB $29.95 Distributed for AU Press

In humanity’s more than 100,000 year history, we have evolved from vulnerable creatures clawing sustenance from Earth to a sophisticated global society manipulating every inch of it. In short, we have become the dominant animal. Why, then, are we creating a world that threatens our own species? What can we do to change the current trajectory toward more climate change, increased famine, and epidemic disease? Renowned Stanford scientists Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich believe that intelligently addressing those questions depends on a clear understanding of how we evolved and how and why we’re changing the planet in ways that darken our descendants’ future. 2008, 440 pages, 6 x 9" 978-1-59726-097-8 PB $30.00
