This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada, an Encyclopaedia of the Country, Vol. 3 of 5: The Canadian Dominion Considered in Its Historic Relations, Its Natural Resources, Its Material Progress, and Its National Development Dominion admitted to be the brightest jewel in the Imperial Crown. As one of the few remaining Fathers of the Confederation of Canada, I may, perhaps, be permitted to glance at the progress of the Dominion during the thirty-one years of its existence; marked as it has been by an advance that will compare favourably with that of any other country. A brief contrast between Canada before and since Confederation will not be un - instructive. Then, British North America consisted of six Provinces, without the means of inter-communication by rail, isolated from each other, and separated by hostile tariffs. The old Province of Canada, then composed of Ontario and Quebec, had no means of reaching the Atlantic during the winter except through a foreign country. Its trade was paralyzed, and its six per cent. Bonds could only be sold at a ruinous discount. The antagonism between political parties was such as to render a stable Government impossible. The Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island on the Atlantic, and British Columbia on the Pacific were mainly dependent for their trade upon the United States. The great territory of Rupert's Land, then in the possession of the Hudson's Bay Company, was almost wholly occupied by Indians and wild animals. It had practically no communication with Eastern Canada, and was separated from British Columbia by the impassable Rocky Mountains. This great northern half of the continent of North America was simply unknown and regarded in England as a burthen. All this has been changed by Confederation; all these isolated provinces, with the exception of Newfoundland, have been united under one central Government. The credit of the Dominion has been raised until it ranks only second to that of Great Britain. The great north-west has been acquired and opened up for settlement by the construction of an inter - oceanic line of railway which spans the continent from Halifax on the Atlantic to Vancouver on the Pacific. Manitoba and the north-w est Territories are now recognized as a great granary, capable of furnishing all the wheat or bread which Great Britain is obliged to import. The deepening 'of' \the canals on the St. Lawrence, which has been steadily prosecuted, will at an early day givea fourteen-foot navigation, and provide an unbroken waterway from the mouth of the St. Lawrence to the head waters of Lake Superior. Over miles of railway have already been completed. The construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway has brought Yokohama within twenty days of London, less than one-half the time required via the Suez Canal. A steamship line has been established between Canada and Australia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work written by Francis J. Turner and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2009-07-23 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of us, as Canadians, are touched throughout our lives by some aspect of social welfare, either as recipients, donors, or taxpayers. But despite the importance of the social network in our country, there has been no single source of information about this critical component of our society. Even professionals in the field of social work or social services have not had a comprehensive volume addressing the myriad features of this critical societal structure. The Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work fills this need. Over five hundred topics important to Canadian social work are covered, written by a highly diverse group of social workers covering all aspects of the field and all areas of the country. Practitioners, policy makers, academics, social advocates, researchers, students, and administrators present a rich overview of the complexity and diversity of social work and social welfare as it exists in Canada. The principal finding from this project underscores the long-held perception that there is a Canadian model of social work that is unique and stands as a useful model to other countries. The Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work will be an important source of information, both to Canadians and to interested groups around the world. The Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work is available in e-book version by subscription or from university and college libraries through the following vendors: Canadian Electronic Library, Ebrary, MyiLibrary, and Netlibrary.

Download or read book Caribbean Literature in Transition 1970 2020 Volume 3 written by Ronald Cummings and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 847 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period from the 1970s to the present day has produced an extraordinarily rich and diverse body of Caribbean writing that has been widely acclaimed. Caribbean Literature in Transition, 1970-2020 traces the region's contemporary writings across the established genres of prose, poetry, fiction and drama into emerging areas of creative non-fiction, memoir and speculative fiction with a particular attention on challenging the narrow canon of Anglophone male writers. It maps shifts and continuities between late twentieth century and early twenty-first century Caribbean literature in terms of innovations in literary form and style, the changing role and place of the writer, and shifts in our understandings of what constitutes the political terrain of the literary and its sites of struggle. Whilst reaching across language divides and multiple diasporas, it shows how contemporary Caribbean Literature has focused its attentions on social complexity and ongoing marginalizations in its continued preoccupations with identity, belonging and freedoms.
