Abstract: Born and raised in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Margo Talbot grew up with a distant mother who “ruled the household with her eyes”; a father who opted to spend much of his time away from home; and four siblings struggling to deal with their particular domestic situation. As a result of her family’s dysfunction and her own growing mental illness, young Margo rarely smiled, had difficulty connecting with others, and was plagued with a black wave of anger and sadness that overshadowed much of the world around her. In time, drugs, alcohol, sex, and violence became her primary ways to connect with herself and others. From the depths of suicidal depression and a conversation with Death, Talbot eventually found solace and redemption in both the healing power of nature and the glory of climbing frozen landscapes in some of the world’s most pristine and challenging environments. Heartbreaking, honest, energizing, and inspiring All That Glitters is a remarkable memoir that shines a fresh light of hope on mental illness.-- From back cover

Abstract: In 1941, influential publishing magnate Henry Luce wrote a stirring essay on American global power, declaring that the world was in the midst of the first great American century. What did a newly outward-looking and hegemonic United States mean for its northern neighbour? From constitutional reform to transit policy, from national security to the arrival of television, Canadians were ever mindful of the American experience. This sharp-eyed volume provides a unique look at postwar Canada, bringing to the fore the opinions and perceptions of a broad range of Canadians--from consumers to diplomats, jazz musicians to urban planners, and a diverse cross-section in between. -- Provided by publisher.
