Book Synopsis Your Country, My Country by : Robert Bothwell
Download or read book Your Country, My Country written by Robert Bothwell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book might almost be entitled Canadians in the Attic. Canada is the United States' forgotten twin, the country that resembles the United States more than any other, and that shares a history with America that goes back to the seventeenth century, and that includes the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the anti-slavery movement, to name only a few. Canada is in a way a measure of, a barometer of, American exceptionalism. What happens in Canada is often a reflection of what has happened in the United States, but by the same token, what happens in Canada is often a sign of what could happen in its American neighbor. While the two countries have distinct political systems, and particular histories, ideologically they are closer together than standard Canadian histories suggest. (Canadians are left out of standard American histories.) Arguably, Canada is the part of North America where the New Deal came to fruition in the 1960s, when it was frustrated in the United States. But no American political idea fails to penetrate Canada, and in the 2000s many Canadians, including the current Canadian government, seek to imitate or replicate the hard-right turn in American politics. From whatever direction, the Canadian experience illuminates American experience-- and vice-versa"--

Book Synopsis The Worst Songs in the World by : David Pate
Download or read book The Worst Songs in the World written by David Pate and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best-known songs in the world are violent, sexist, and religious — so why do we celebrate national anthems when we should be rewriting them? The story begins in a London theatre in 1745, where the modern idea of anthems started out as triumphant expressions of national superiority. They glorified violence, claimed the support of God for their country, and mostly ignored women. David Pate says it’s time to dump lyrics about cutting throats, watering fields with blood, building walls with the bodies of enemies, and celebrating the sound of machine guns. From the author’s own youth as a schoolboy in Scotland when he was caned for refusing to sing “God Save the Queen” to the ubiquity of anthems in sports and as weapons for extreme patriotism, The Worst Songs in the World looks at the origins of many of the world’s anthems, including the movie theme song that became China’s national anthem and the English tune used for “The Star-Spangled Banner.” This wide-ranging, deeply researched narrative combines politics, personalities, humour, and vivid storytelling to argue for what we should all want: better national songs.

Download or read book Song of a Nation written by Robert Harris and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest story never told, this formidable and gorgeously written biography documents the amazing and controversial short life of Calixa Lavallée--the composer of "O Canada"--and the tumult of 19th-century North America. He was a composer, a performer, an entrepreneur, and an educator; played pop and classical music; and appeared in his quasi-colonial society, tragically, just ahead of his time. Calixa Lavallee, the French Canadian composer of "O Canada," has a compelling, almost unbelievable personal story. He left home at 12 and worked as a blackface minstrel, travelling throughout the United States for more than a decade; he fought and was injured in the American Civil War in perhaps the most important battle of that war, at Antietam Creek; performed for President Lincoln several times; produced the first opera in Quebec and wrote two of his own; became a leading figure in American music education, representing American music in London; journeyed to Paris to study for two years; tried and failed to create a Quebec national conservatory. And he wrote our national anthem. But Lavallée also represents all the contradictions and confusions of Canadian identity as our country came together in the last half of the nineteenth century. To understand "O Canada," and to understand the man who wrote it, is to return to the Canada of the mid-nineteenth century, a Canada just forming as a nation, bringing together ancient racial hatreds and novel political possibilities, as culture faced culture, religion faced religion, economy faced economy. Calixa Lavallée is the most famous Canadian you have never heard of, living a life and ultimately composing a song that stands the test of time.
Book Synopsis Death by Prescription by : Terence H. Young
Download or read book Death by Prescription written by Terence H. Young and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen-year-old Vanessa Young began taking Prepulsid after her doctor prescribed the billion-dollar selling drug to alleviate a stomach disorder. Neither she--nor her parents--had any reason to suspect the drug might pose a risk. The doctor had prescribed the drug without concern. Nothing in the literature from the manufacturer warned of complications. On March 19, 2000, Vanessa died. Shattered by grief and angry beyond belief, Terence Young began a long fight to find out why. The answer: Prepulsid. The prescription drug the teenager had been assured would relieve her symptoms had, in fact, killed her. Not content to know why, Young determined to battle the industry to make sure this kind of tragedy never happened again. Then a successful businessman and former member of Parliament, Young pursued answers with a kind of Quixote-like obsession. The truth is, as he would find out, that every year hundreds and hundreds of people die as a result of complications from prescription drugs. And most of these companies attentive only to their own bottom line simply don't care. Death by Prescription is the unforgettable story of his fight to find justice for his daughter and a shocking wake-up call to the millions of patients out there who are potential victims of the greedy pharmaceutical companies that put profits ahead of patients.
