Summary:
"Many foundations" tells the stories of forty churches built in the early days of the province, from the 1880s to the 1930s, from Fort Chipewyan to Cardston. The stories of the people who cleared the land, raised the money and erected the buildings are, in fact, the story of Alberta. Ukrainians, Norweians, Brits, Americans, eastern Canadians and others arrived with very little in the way of worldly goods to begin their new lives, but still managed to find the time, the money and the energy to build their houses of worship. "Many foundations" tells their stories of good times and hard times, sad times and comical times.

Summary:
In 2006, photographer Martin Usborne spent three days walking around London in the company of a fox, a dead fox, hired from a taxidermist at a rate higher than it would cost to rent a Ferrari. It was money well spent. Usborne had great fun interacting with people on the street and the fox, temporarily at least, was given a new lease of life.
