Sinopse

In "Canada Under British Rule," John G. Bourinot presents a comprehensive exploration of Canada's political and social evolution from the time of British colonization through the mid-19th century. Bourinot, drawing upon his keen historical insight, employs a narrative style that interweaves meticulous details with critical analysis, capturing the complexities of colonial governance, Indigenous relations, and the burgeoning Canadian identity. His work is contextualized within the broader landscape of British imperial history, serving as a vital resource for understanding the foundations of Canadian nationalism and the intricate dynamics of colonial power. Bourinot, a key figure in Canadian historiography and an early advocate for responsible governance in Canada, was shaped by his upbringing in a colonial context that fostered his interest in the interplay between Britain and its territories. His experience as a journalist and historian endowed him with an acute awareness of the legislative and cultural undercurrents that influenced Canada's trajectory during this formative period. This deep-seated connection to his subject matter propelled him to document the nuances of Canada's colonial experience meticulously. I highly recommend "Canada Under British Rule" to scholars, students, and any reader intrigued by the complexities of colonial history. Bourinot's rigorous scholarship and engaging prose make this work both informative and captivating, offering essential insights into the roots of modern Canada and the ongoing implications of its colonial legacy.

    Covid alerted the nation to the reality that K-12 schools were infested with ideologues bent on indoctrinating children. Then, three years after the beginning of the pandemic, the response to Hamas's genocidal assault on Israel made Americans aware that the same tumor had wholly sickened our country's colleges and universities. Now, conservatives—and increasingly, moderates and old-school liberals—want to know exactly how the radical left captured higher education. 
     
     
     
    Florida has been the vanguard in the war to restore sanity to higher education. And Richard Corcoran has been one of its commanding generals. When Corcoran was Florida's education commissioner, he was the point person for reopening schools and banning mask mandates. He triumphed. Then, he was given a herculean task: remaking a college overrun by radicalism and cancel culture. In 2023, he moved into the president's office in Sarasota, took on a campus mob, and challenged a media firestorm. 
     
     
     
    Just a year later, Corcoran achieved the seemingly impossible. He turned around New College of Florida. Now, free speech is protected. Violence and anti-Semitism are abolished. DEI bureaucracy is eliminated. And enrollment records are being broken. Storming the Ivory Tower is the story of how Corcoran is winning the fight for freedom in hostile territory and how others can join.

    Hair is potent. Its presence and its absence has profound influence upon our lives, across race, gender, sexuality, status, and more. It will grow in places you don't like and it may desert you – suddenly, or gradually. Whatever your experience, you have had a relationship with hair and its power. Kajal Odedra considers how hair has shaped society today, from the 'perfect' blondes in the school playground to the angry skinheads on the streets. Mohawks, wigs, afros, these are just a few of the ways in which hair has been part of history and wider activism. The word 'essay' derives from the French 'essayer', meaning 'to try' or 'to attempt'. This is Odedra's 'try' at hair – part memoir, part observation across history, politics, religion, and culture. Hair/Power explores the power, control and ultimate liberation that hair can provide.

    Vision’s  infinite range of influence knows no boundaries. It flows from the youngest to the oldest, from the novice to the most experienced member of the team. It infiltrates the organization with freshness of purpose and clearness of direction. The leader clothed with the clarity of vision, exposes others to the knowledge, necessity and power of vision. Then becomes an instrument in helping them understand the work of vision. The energy and the ontagiousness of vision develops a persistent personality within the leader and within the organization that recognizes it and seeks after it. Vision helps every person within the organization to see that the role of leader calls their name and refers to them as the leader in their area of influence. This keen awareness awakens dreams that ignite the hearts, inspire the minds and move the people to greatness.
     
    Questions are presented to help the leader reflect on the current state and identify important 
    next steps that will propel the organization forward. Examples and strategies are included which the leader can employ to inspire vision within others and strengthen partnerships with them that build up the organization and help it move to its highest level of effectiveness.
