This book was released on 2011 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture plays a powerful role in nation building. Buildings and monuments not only constitute the built fabric of society, they reflect the intersection of culture, politics, economics, and aesthetics in distinct social settings and distinct times. From first contact to the postmodern city, this anthology traces the interaction between culture and politics as reflected in Canadian architecture and the infrastructure of ordinary life. Whether focusing on the construction of Parliament or exploring the ideas of Marshall McLuhan and Arthur Erickson, these highly original essays move beyond considerations of authorship and style to address cultural politics and insights from race and gender studies and from postcolonial and spatial theory.

Canadian Film and Video / Film et vidéo canadiens provides an in-depth guide to the work of over 4000 individuals working in film and video and 5000 films and videos. The entries in Volume I cover topics such as film types, the role of government, laws and legislation, censorship, festivals and awards, production and distribution companies, education, cinema buildings, women and film, and video art. A major section covers filmmakers, video artists, cinematographers, actors, producers, and various other film people. Volume II presents an author index, a film and video title index, and a name and subject index.

Book excerpt: "This 320-page hardcover book showcases some 150 Art Deco-style buildings located in big cities and small towns across Canada. More than simply a compilation of contemporary colour photographs and selected period images with informative captions, the book paints a picture of what life was like in Canada from the late 1920s to the early 1950s. The 'storytelling' aspect of this book means describes the exploits of such legendary entrepreneurs as cookie-maker William Mellis Christie, grocery merchant Theodore Pringle Loblaw, and media magnate Roy Thomson. The book explains, for example, the way Ireland's Guinness family shaped the skyline of Vancouver, how the T. Eaton Company elevated the experience of shopping, and the influence of federal, provincial and municipal politicians on the appearance of Canada's public-sector buildings. And the book reveals the rich history of some of the country's landmark sports and entertainment venues. The buildings are arranged in six 'themed' chapters with various subsections, organized around different aspects of daily life between the World Wars."--
