Book excerpt: This fascinating memoir recounts Timothy Ian Mitchell’s boyhood dream of becoming a RCMP officer and the first five years of his service as a Mountie on the Canadian Prairies. Deeply honest, often moving, and intermittently funny, the anecdotes at the core of this book vividly detail Mitchell’s experiences and encounters with other members of the Force, perpetrators and victims of crime, and a variety of other people and places that impacted his early career and influenced his entire life. Whether he was enforcing traffic regulations, investigating a robbery, or marching on Red Serge duty, Mitchell was honoured and grateful to be recognized as a Canadian Mountie.

Book excerpt: On September 5th, 2018, Kim Nelson received a diagnosis that would change her life forever. In this candid memoir, she tells of her emotional, physical, and spiritual journey through breast cancer—from the moment of diagnosis, through surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and steps forward in the aftermath of illness. Equal parts heartbreaking and uplifting, Strength from Within details the debilitating anxiety and loss of selfhood that can accompany cancer, alongside the surprising joys of self-discovery and the life-giving support of loved ones. Through transcribed correspondence with her colleagues, friends, and family members, Kim demonstrates the ways in which her community held her up during the most challenging time of her life. At the heart of this book is a firm grounding in faith, possibility, and gratitude. Kim reminds readers to “know and appreciate what you have with the goal of embracing it with your whole heart” and offers comfort, compassion, and outrageous love to fellow sufferers when they need it the most.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charleston, South Carolina, today enjoys a reputation as a destination city for cultural and heritage tourism. In A Golden Haze of Memory, Stephanie E. Yuhl looks back to the crucial period between 1920 and 1940, when local leaders developed Charleston's trademark image as "America's Most Historic City." Eager to assert the national value of their regional cultural traditions and to situate Charleston as a bulwark against the chaos of modern America, these descendants of old-line families downplayed Confederate associations and emphasized the city's colonial and early national prominence. They created a vibrant network of individual artists, literary figures, and organizations--such as the all-white Society for the Preservation of Negro Spirituals--that nurtured architectural preservation, art, literature, and tourism while appropriating African American folk culture. In the process, they translated their selective and idiosyncratic personal, familial, and class memories into a collective identity for the city. The Charleston this group built, Yuhl argues, presented a sanitized yet highly marketable version of the American past. Their efforts invited attention and praise from outsiders while protecting social hierarchies and preserving the political and economic power of whites. Through the example of this colorful southern city, Yuhl posits a larger critique about the use of heritage and demonstrates how something as intangible as the recalled past can be transformed into real political, economic, and social power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic elites, the influential business owners, teachers, and newspaper editors within distinct ethnic communities, play an important role as self-appointed mediators between their communities and “mainstream” societies. In Ethnic Elites and Canadian Identity, Aya Fujiwara examines the roles of Japanese, Ukrainian, and Scottish elites during the transition of Canadian identity from Anglo-conformity to ethnic pluralism. By comparing the strategies and discourses used by each community, including rhetoric, myths, collective memories, and symbols, she reveals how prewar community leaders were driving forces in the development of multiculturalism policy. In doing so, she challenges the widely held notion that multiculturalism was a product of the 1960s formulated and promoted by “mainstream” Canadians and places the emergence of Canadian multiculturalism within a transnational context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II, thousands of Canadians left our country to fight for our Allies. Where they went and what they did has always been a question for some. Perhaps this book will give some answers. It deals with the experiences of an ordinary airman, a radio telephone operator, one of the many "ordinary people" who served their country in time of war. Ernest Monnon was a keen amateur photographer, who used to exchange his cigarettes for film and developing, and many of the pictures in the book are his.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History, they say, has a filthy tongue. In the case of colonial theatre in America, what we know about performance has come from the detractors of theatre and not its producers. Yet this does not account for the flourishing theatrical circuit established between 1760 and 1776. This study explores the culture's social support of the theatre.

Download or read book The Cultural Life of Images written by Brian Leigh Molyneaux and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pictures are often admired for their aesthetic merits but they are rarely treated as if they had as much to offer as the written word. They are often overlooked as objects of analysis themselves, and tend to be seen simply as adjuncts to the text. Images, however, are not passive, and have a direct impact that engages attention in ways independent of any specific text. Advertising, entertainment and propaganda have realised the extent of this power to shape ideas, but the scientific community has hitherto neglected the ways in which visual material conditions the ways in which we think. With subjects including prehistoric artworks, excavation illustrations, artists' impressions of ancient sites and peoples and contemporary landscapes, photographs and drawings, this study explores how pictures shape our perceptions and our expectations of the past. This volume is not concerned with the accuracy of pictures from the past or directly about the past itself, but is interested instead in why certain subjects are selected, why they are depicted the way they are, and what effects such images have on our idea of the past. This collection constitutes a ground-breaking study in historiography which radically reassesses the ways that history can be written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a man who was born and grew up in NOVA SCOTIA. HE slipped out of high school when he was seventeen and a half years of age and joined the RCAF. After starting training to be a pilot, he transferred to gunnery school and eventually became a flight sergeant air gunner. After two and a half years, and the end of the war, he was discharged and worked in various parts of eastern Canada. He travelled and played in several areas of the world including such places as South America, Central America, Europe, Australia, and parts of East Asia. This book is the story of hismyadventures. It is intended to be a work of nonfiction but, because of a defective and sometimes selective memory, may also be viewed as fiction. Should this work ever reach print, I might, for a slight remuneration, be willing to include your name, remove your name, or provide a signed first edition. I should also advise that as I am a painter, I can supply a crappy 14 x 11 framed painting of a local scene for a minimal fee, painted with acrylic paint for only fifty dollars. This is a limited time offer. Dont worry that the fact that I am eighty-six years old might preclude me from concluding any or all transactions. Remember . . . ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Red Knight holds a special place in Canadian history. The RCAF’s solo aerobatic display thrilled airshow audiences throughout North America from 1958–1969. With over 600 performances, the Red Knight ranks third in RCAF history to today’s Snowbirds and CF-18 Hornet Demo. In recognition of the program’s importance, Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame honoured the Red Knight with its Belt of Orion Award for Excellence in 2020 and the Royal Canadian Mint issued a commemorative coin in 2022. Aviation historian John Charles Corrigan spent 25 years researching and chronicling the program’s history in his book, The Red Knight. Budget cuts and a fatal accident resulted in the program’s cancellation in 1970. John’s latest book, The Tutor Knights takes the reader on an insider’s journey through the final two seasons of the program. With meticulous attention to detail, he describes a program in flux and subject to extraordinary stresses, which presaged an incredible series of tragedies. With numerous interviews, media reports, illustrations and never before seen photos and documentation, The Tutor Knights is written with aviation enthusiasts in mind. It will be of interest to those who marvel at the grace and precision of aerobatic flying from a uniquely Canadian perspective. https://www.facebook.com/rcafredknight

Download or read book Canadian Warbird Survivors written by Harold A. Skaarup and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this handbook is to provide aviation enthusiasts with a handbook on where to find the surviving retired military aircraft preserved in Canada. The majority of the Canadian Warbird and War Prize Survivors are on display within a significant number of aviation museums. Many others are displayed as "gate guards" on or near a number of Canadian and Allied Armed Forces Bases and installations. There are also a few in the hands of private owners and collectors that have been restored to flying status. These include a number of foreign warbird survivors that were brought back to Canada as War Prizes. The museum staffs and volunteer organizations such as the Canadian Aviation Preservation Association (CAPA) have done tremendous work in preserving military and civilian aircraft that have been a major part of Canada's aviation heritage. A few of these aircraft are illustrated in this book, along with a short description of the aircraft flown by Canadian servicemen and women. The aircraft are listed alphabetically, along with a city or museum location, the manufacturer, aircraft serial number and call sign where known. Canadian Warbird and War Prize Survivors is part of a series on aircraft used by the Canadian Forces throughout its history.
