Awful Splendour
Fire is a defining element in Canadian land and life. With few exceptions, Canada’s forests and prairies have evolved with fire. Its peoples have exploited fire and sought to protect themselves from its excesses, and since Confederation, the country has devised various institutions to connect fire and society. The choices Canadians have made says a great deal about their national character. Awful Splendour narrates the history of this grand saga.

Feature Review

The New Lawyer

Julie Macfarlane

Multicultural Education Policies

"As far as I am aware, THE NEW LAWYER is the first book to thoroughly research and describe the massive changes in the legal profession and practice in the last three decades, and to make a serious attempt to predict what will happen in the decades to follow... Her book is in fact an outstanding effort. Readers will not be disappointed."

- Deborah Macfarlane (no relation), School of Information Systems, Faculty of Business and Law, Victoria University, Law and Politics Book Review, July 6, 2009
