Summary

Embark on a journey through the untamed landscapes of Western Canada with Reverend John McDougall, a pioneering missionary whose life unfolded against the backdrop of the Canadian frontier. "The Complete Works of John McDougall" offers a rich tapestry of real-life tales and adventures, spanning the transformative period from the 1840s to the 1870s.
In "Forest, Lake and Prairie," McDougall paints a vivid picture of two decades spent navigating the challenges and triumphs of frontier life in Western Canada.
"Saddle, Sled and Snowshoe" delves into the pioneering spirit on the Saskatchewan during the tumultuous 1860s, while "Pathfinding on Plain and Prairie" explores stirring scenes of life in the Canadian Northwest.
The narrative continues with "In the Days of the Red River Rebellion," offering a glimpse into the life and adventures during the turbulent period of 1868 to 1872. 
McDougall's experiences on Western trails in the early 1870s unfold in "On Western Trails in the Early Seventies," showcasing the resilience of frontier pioneer life.
Meet the legendary "Wa-pee Moos-tooch" or "White Buffalo," The Hero of a Hundred Battles, in a captivating tale set in Canada's Great West during the early years of the last century. 
"Rural Life in Canada" – McDougall's insights into rural life are eloquently shared in a series of lectures that explore the opportunities and challenges of Canadian rural society.
The collection concludes with "George Millward McDougall," a heartfelt biography honoring the pioneer, patriot, and missionary—John McDougall's father. Through McDougall's words, readers are transported to an era where courage, faith, and adventure shaped the very fabric of Western Canada's pioneer landscape.

    Glenesk is one of the most beautiful of the Angus glens. Though surrounded by high peaks in its upper reaches and seemingly remote, it is no isolated backwater. A network of hill-paths through the Mounth links Glenesk to Deeside and neighouring Angus glens, while its lower end opens out to the low country of the east. This is one reason why the Glen is so rich in the relics of life and work of the people who have lived there and who have passed through it from early times onwards.
This is the story of an upland, rural community, told from the perspectives of the people themselves and covers almost every aspect of glen life. From the distant past to modern day, the book looks at people's changing relationships with the landscape, the buildings they lived, worked and worshipped in and the tools they used.
Official documents record the effects of the famine and wars of the 17th-century, and the deprivations suffered either at the hands of marauding Highland caterans or the renegade offspring of their landlords. The text is complemented by many origianl, period photographs which portray the everyday life of the Glen.

    The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the United States of America. It superseded the Articles of Confederation, the nation's first constitution, in 1789. Originally comprising seven articles, it delineates the national frame of government. Its first three articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislative, consisting of the bicameral Congress (Article I); the executive, consisting of the president and subordinate officers (Article II); and the judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts (Article III). Article IV, Article V, and Article VI embody concepts of federalism, describing the rights and responsibilities of state governments, the states in relationship to the federal government, and the shared process of a constitutional amendment. Article VII establishes the procedure subsequently used by the 13 states to ratify it. It is regarded as the oldest written and codified national constitution in force. 
 
Since the Constitution came into force in 1789, it has been amended 27 times, including one amendment that repealed a previous one, in order to meet the needs of a nation that has profoundly changed since the 18th century. In general, the first ten amendments, known collectively as the Bill of Rights, offer specific protections of individual liberty and justice and place restrictions on the powers of government within the U.S. states. The majority of the 17 later amendments expand individual civil rights protections. Others address issues related to federal authority or modify government processes and procedures. Amendments to the United States Constitution, unlike ones made to many constitutions worldwide, are appended to the document. The original U.S. Constitution was written on five pages of parchment.

    Ao longo de quase duas décadas, entre 1990 a 2007, tínhamos as duas principais marcas nacionais, que realizavam os principais campeonatos e circuitos nacionais, investiam em pistas e patrocinavam skatistas, que despontam nos campeonatos mundiais subindo ao pódio e levando títulos. Tudo isso inserido em uma ebulição musical e de moda onde o principal público era de adolescentes e jovens, que viam no skate uma forma de expressão. Desde o carrinho até as roupas streetwear, produziam e reproduziam um comportamento e uma identidade própria. Surgiu um estilo de vida, o skate como um lifestyle, e Curitiba reconhecida como a capital do skate brasileiro. A cultura do skate é resiliente, diversa e se reinventa. Desde 1972, quando tudo era desconhecido e novo, os pioneiros do skate paranaense criaram as referências. A nossa essência começou ali. E o skate passou de mão em mão, evoluiu de geração para geração. A criatividade e a liberdade movem nossa história do skate. É o que buscamos expressar neste livro.
