This book was described as Conrad Kain's favourite book in Chapter 10 of the book "Where the Clouds Can Go" by Conrad Kain, and edited by J. Monroe Thorington. (?),. The archives produced a reproduction (with images) from a first ed. copy of 'Animals' Alpine Club', a book in The Animals series, and a favourite of Conrad Kain of the ACC.

- The HANDY VOLUME ATLAS OF THE WORLD has long enjoyed a large measure of popularity as the most complete and accurate Compendium of Geographical Information of its size published. The evidence of this continued popularity lies in the fact that, since it was first produced under the Editorship of the eminent Geographer, the late Dr. E. G. Ravenstein, no fewer than fourteen large editions have been issued. In this, the FIFTEENTH EDITION, the present Editor has endeavoured to deserve a continuance of that popularity, by making the new issue of the Atlas a complete SURVEY of POST-WAR GEOGRAPHY, exhibiting, in their natural order, the territorial changes and political changes throughout the World effected by the Peace Treaties and Agreements following the Great War. -- Excerpt from Preface, p. v

- Abstract
- As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowing together to reveal what it means to see humans as "the younger brothers of creation." As she explores these themes she circles toward a central argument: the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgement and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the world. Once we begin to listen for the languages of other beings, we can begin to understand the innumerable life-giving gifts the world provides us and learn to offer our thanks, our care, and our own gifts in return.

- Abstract
- For centuries, Canadian sovereignty has existed uneasily alongside forms of Indigenous legal and political authority. Canadian Law and Indigenous Self-Determination demonstrates how, over the last few decades, Canadian law has attempted to remove Indigenous sovereignty from the Canadian legal and social landscape. Adopting a naturalist analysis, Gordon Christie responds to questions about how to theorize this legal phenomenon, and how the study of law should accommodate the presence of diverse perspectives. Exploring the socially-constructed nature of Canadian law, Christie reveals how legal meaning, understood to be the outcome of a specific society, is being reworked to devalue the capacities of Indigenous societies. Addressing liberal positivism and critical postcolonial theory, Canadian Law and Indigenous Self-Determination considers the way in which Canadian jurists, working within a world circumscribed by liberal thought, have deployed the law in such a way as to attempt to remove Indigenous meaning-generating capacity. -- Provided by publisher.

- Abstract
- In 2006 “outdoor philosopher” Kate Rawles cycled 4553 miles from Texas to Alaska, following the spine of the Rocky Mountains as closely as possible. Cycling across unforgiving but starkly beautiful landscapes in both the United States and Canada – deserts, high mountain passes, glaciers and eventually down to the sea – she encountered bears, wolves, moose, cliff-swallows, aspens and a single, astonishing lynx. Along the way, she talked to North Americans about climate change – from truck drivers to politicians – to find out what they knew about it, whether they cared, and if they did, what they thought they could do. Kate tells the story of a trip in which she has to deal with the rigours of cycling for ten hours a day in temperatures often in excess of 100° F, fighting punctures, endless repairs and inescapable, grinding fatigue … . But in recounting the physical struggle of such a journey, she also does constant battle with her own ideas and assumptions, helping us to cross the great divide between where we are on climate change and where we need to be. Can we tackle climate change while still keeping our modern Western lifestyles intact? Should we put biofuel in our camper vans and RVs? Or do we need much deeper shifts in lifestyles, values and worldviews? -- From publisher
