Résumé:
Beginning in the 1940s, John A. Russell, dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Manitoba, nurtured a strong tradition of Modernist design with close connections to architectural giants such as Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius. Under Russell’s guidance, a generation of young architects, such as James Donahue and David Thordarson, adapted the principles of European Modernism to the prairie geography. Other nationally renowned architects, such as Etienne Gaboury and Gustavo da Roza, also left a lasting Modernist mark on Winnipeg’s skyline and private residences. Designed by architect Herbert Enns, "Winnipeg Modern" captures the grace and beauty of the Modernist period and includes critical and historical essays on the aesthetic and social project of Modernist architecture in Winnipeg. Illustrated with 240 photographs from local and national archives, the private archives of architect Henry Kalen, and contemporary photographer Martin Tessler, this book is a testament to the Modernist principles of structural expression and purity of form.

Résumé:
Based on 260 vintage images and extensive original research, Inside Toronto: Urban Interiors 1880s to1920s is the first book to investigate the complex, interior life of a single city — the ordinary and extraordinary places where Torontonians lived, worked, shopped, and performed the rituals of daily life. Interior photographs are rare. Not many were taken; and fewer have survived. Fortunately, Toronto's archival resources, supplemented by private and public collections elsewhere, are extensive enough to support an investigation of these interior spaces.Many images are glorious, all are informative. Text illuminates the images and provides historical background.

Résumé:
"College street -Toronto's renaissance strip" charts the history of a community that is a microcosm of the larger forces that created the diverse culture of today's Canada. Through immigration, College Street has evolved as Canada has evolved and each generation has left its distinctive mark. There were the early Irish immigrants who fled famine in the old country and settled in the area that is now known as Little Italy. There was the Jewish community that began to develop the outdoor market we now know as Kensington. Eventually the Italians came to dominate and give Little Italy its name, though in the 70s the Portuguese made their own indelible impression on the street and continue to be a powerful presence. With a preface by Joe Pantalone and essays by the editors and Giuliana Colalillo; Beatriz Hausner; Royson James; Rocco Maragna; Domingos Marques & Manuela Marujo; Richard Menkis & Harold Troper; Gabrielle Scardellato.
