Book excerpt: "This volume traces the historical arc of Canada’s national winter game from its “founding” in Montreal in the mid-1870s into the early twenty-first century. The evidence presented in this book reveals how deeply embedded hockey was among the peoples of post-Confederation Canada. Composed of more than 150 edited and annotated documents, the volume is organized into chapters based on ten central themes. "An Evolutionary Game" explores hockey’s incremental growth. "A National Banner" demonstrates how English and French Canadians have used hockey to imagine themselves. "An Arena for Commerce" delineates hockey’s long relationship with moneymaking. "An Essentially Violent Game" highlights the sport’s reputation for roughness. "A National Problem" captures the discourse around hockey as an enemy to education, a source of labour exploitation, and a vehicle for Americanization. "A Question of Order, A Question of Character" examines the belief that hockey could generate respectable civic behaviour. "Hockey Talk" explores the technology and drama of hockey narration, and the concern in Quebec about hockey as a portal for anglicization. Hockey’s “whiteness” is examined in "Race and Social Order" along with the challenges that Indigenous, Black and Asian players and teams made to that hegemony. "A Gendered Endeavour" pieces together the quest among women and girls to play on integrated and segregated teams, and to control their sport. Finally, "An International Calling Card" illuminates the mercurial history of “Team Canada,” from the unmatched international power to one among many"--

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1995. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was paralyzed from the waist down, but he concealed the extent of his disability from a public that was never permitted to see him in a wheelchair. FDR's Secretary of State was old and frail, debilitated by a highly contagious and usually fatal disease that was as closely guarded a state secret as his wife's Jewish ancestry. The undersecretary was a pompous and aloof man who married three times but, when intoxicated, preferred sex with railroad porters, shoeshine boys, and cabdrivers. These three legendary figures—Franklin Roosevelt, Cordell Hull, and Sumner Welles—not only concealed such secrets for more than a decade but did so while directing United States foreign policy during some of the most perilous events in the nation's history. Irwin Gellman brings to light startling new information about the intrigues, deceptions, and behind-the-scenes power struggles that influenced America's role in World War II and left their mark on world events, for good or ill, in the half-century that followed. Gellman had unprecedented access to previously unavailable documents, including Hull's confidential medical records, unpublished manuscripts of Drew Pearson and R. Walton Moore, and Sumner Welles's FBI file. Gellman concludes that while Roosevelt, Hull, and Welles usually agreed on foreign policy matters, the events that molded each man's character remained a mystery to the others. Their failure to cope with their secret affairs—to subordinate their personal concerns to the higher good of the nation—eventually destroyed much of what they hoped would be their legacy. Roosevelt never explained his objectives to his vice president, Harry Truman, or to anyone else. Hull never groomed a successor, and Welles kept his foreign assignations as classified as his sexual orientation. Gellman tells the dramatic story of how three Americans—despite private demons and bitter animosities—could work together to lead their nation to victory against fascism. —William T.

Book excerpt: In the late 1960s, a new sport emerged in Canada that would change the lives of many people: wheelchair sports. In Life in the Fast Lane, Chris Stoddart recounts the rise of wheelchair racing, with him as one of its pioneers. Born with spina bifida—a condition that affects the development of the spine—Stoddart witnessed the extraordinary transformation of the wheelchair from a heavy and unwieldy functional contraption to a light and sleek design meant for the racetrack. From his beginnings as a wheelchair basketball player to his evolution into a three-time Paralympian and fifty-mile marathon racer, Stoddart shares his life journey as it parallels Canada’s rise in wheelchair sports. With a matter-of-fact but approachable tone, Stoddart shines a light on the many veterans of wheelchair sports who may have been forgotten over the years. Most notably, however, is this athlete’s dedication to people who live with disabilities. During his successful career as an amateur athlete, Stoddart worked for the War Amps of Canada for almost thirty years. Learn about the history of wheelchair racing in Canada, where we stand today, and what we need to do to make sure people with disabilities share the spotlight with able-bodied athletes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the shifting and conflicting ideas about when, where, and how we should touch our children Discussing issues of parent-child contact ranging from breastfeeding to sexual abuse, Jean O'Malley Halley traces the evolution of mainstream ideas about touching between adults and children over the course of the twentieth century in the United States. Debates over when a child should be weaned and whether to allow a child to sleep in the parent's bed reveal deep differences in conceptions of appropriate adult-child contact. Boundaries of Touch shows how arguments about adult-child touch have been politicized, simplified, and bifurcated into "naturalist" and "behaviorist" viewpoints, thereby sharpening certain binary constructions such as mind/body and male/female. Halley discusses the gendering of ideas about touch that were advanced by influential social scientists and parenting experts including Benjamin Spock, Alfred C. Kinsey, and Luther Emmett Holt. She also explores how touch ideology fared within and against the post-World War II feminist movements, especially with respect to issues of breastfeeding and sleeping with a child versus using a crib. In addition to contemporary periodicals and self-help books on child rearing, Halley uses information gathered from interviews she conducted with mothers ranging in age from twenty-eight to seventy-three. Throughout, she reveals how the parent-child relationship, far from being a private or benign subject, continues as a highly contested, politicized affair of keen public interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Washington Public Affairs Center offered the Doctor of Public Administration degree for public officials in the Washington, D.C. area for nearly 28 years. In that time it awarded 192 doctorates, with recipients coming from all parts of the Federal government and many other public service organizations. It pioneered a unique educational delivery system, the Intensive Semester, which divided courses into three phases: preparation through extensive reading, processing new information acquired, and applying new knowledge. There were many other innovations. This book provides a review of that experience, largely from the perspectives of 24 who received the doctorate and who wrote essays. Faculty members at the Center also provided insights. The DPA degree was abolished by the University of Southern California in 1998, with the closing of the WPAC coming about two years later. The DPA, as a professional degree with a focus on practicing administrators in the public service, has been losing favor in the nation's universities. The end of the WPAC, while a major concern, raises questions both about the possibilities of innovation in our educational institutions and also about the extent to which our major learning centers see public service as a significant obligation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Press and Politics offers a new interpretation of the fate of Germany's first democracy and the advent of Hitler's Third Reich. It is the first study to explore the role of the press in the politics of the Weimar Republic, and to ask how influential it really was in undermining democratic values. Anyone who seeks to understand the relationship between the press and politics in Germany at this time has to confront a central problem. Newspapers certainly told their readers how to vote, especially at election time. It was widely accepted that the press wielded immense political power. And yet power ultimately fell to Adolf Hitler, a radical politician whose party press had been strikingly unsuccessful. Press and Politics unravels this apparent paradox by focusing on Berlin, the political centre of the Weimar Republic and the capital of the German press. The book examines the complex relationship between media presentation, popular reception, and political attitudes in this period. What was the relationship between newspaper circulation and electoral behaviour? Which papers did well, and why? What was the nature of political coverage in the press? Who was most influenced by it? Bernhard Fulda addresses all these questions and more, looking at the nature and impact of newspaper reporting on German politics, politicians, and voters. He shows how the press personalized politics, how politicians were turned into celebrities or hate figures, and how - through deliberate distortions - individual newspapers succeeded in building up a plausible, partisan counter-reality.
