Summary:
John M. Lyle (18721945) was an anomaly among architects: a Beaux-Arts classicist who nevertheless found much inspiration in modernism, allowing his own traditionalist practice to be affected in form and detail by a brave new emphasis on minimalism and indigenous influence. With ornamentation showcasing local flora and fauna and a turn to native landscape for inspiration, his innumerable buildings contributed to a burgeoning nationalism in the field. A Progressive Traditionalist traces this aesthetic trajectory, documenting Lyles training at Yale and in Paris, his early career in New York and his later success in Toronto, including countless legendary banks and residences and the iconic Union Station. Part biography and part architectural history, and extensively illustrated with colour photographs and drawings throughout, this book is the first to examine in depth the important contributions of one of the early twentieth centurys foremost architects.

Summary:
Cities generate a disproportionate amount of Canada’s wealth and are home to the majority of the population, yet they have no means to control their own destinies. Alan Broadbent suggests that the problem is a slavish devotion to a constitutional structure and a federal government that is ignorant of how crucial large cities are to our national prosperity and heritage.

Hunt in his narrative history of Alaska mining. Hunt offers an exciting anecdotal account that follows hungry prospectors, canny shopkeepers, hopeful hangers-on, and crafty lawyers through the gold mining camps and temporary towns of nineteenth-century Alaska.

Summary:
This book explores the formative years of the New City of Toronto: between 1995 and 2005, the period just before, during, and after metropolitan amalgamation. The authors analyze the political, economic, social, and environmental challenges of living in, and governing, a major metropolitan city region that bills itself as a multicultural, world-class city. The authors have a clear message: the city and its surrounding areas need new forms of regional governance. In working through the political and territorial conflicts of the past ten years, the book argues that Toronto is in need of new modes of regional democracy and decision-making that are both accountable to the rapidly changing and diversifying populations of the area, and effective in providing good government.

Canada is situated geographically, historically, and culturally between old empires (Great Britain and France) and a more recent one (the United States), as well as on the terrain of First Nations communities. Poised between historical and metaphorical empires and operating within the conditions of incomplete modernity and economic and cultural dependency, Canada has generated a body of cultural criticism and theory that offers unique insights into the dynamics of both center and periphery. The Reader brings together for the first time in one volume recent writing in Canadian cultural studies and work by significant Canadian cultural analysts of the postwar era.
