Received an Honourable Mention for the 2018 Lieutenant Governor's Medal for Historical Writing The first book on Agnes Deans Cameron, BC’s first female principal, itinerant traveller, and journalist. Agnes Deans Cameron was an extraordinary woman who was ahead by a century. Born in Victoria in 1863, she was the first female school principal in the province, but she worked tirelessly to achieve work equality and voting rights for women. One of Canada's most well known writers of her time, she put western Canada on the map through her writing, which was published internationally including in the Saturday Evening Post. She was also a trailblazer in sports, becoming the first “Lady Centurion” in the West. A consummate trailblazer, in the summer of 1906, Cameron travelled 10,000 miles down the Mackenzie River and out into the Beaufort Sea—something no other European woman had done—in one short season. Cameron was named one of the top 150 most significant individuals in the history of the province of British Columbia. This is the first book commemorating her life.

The schools in Providence, Rhode Island, like those in most large and midsize cities, suffer alarming drop-out rates. In 1989, Urban Collaborative, an independent, public middle school for teenagers at risk of dropping out, was founded. The results have been phenomenal. More than 80 percent of the students go on to graduate from high school. Michael Brosnan uses the stories of the director, students, and teachers to explain how and why this school succeeds where so many have failed. It's founder and director, Rob DeBlois, quadriplegic since a diving accident when he was twenty-one, has had to face many challenges of his own, and the determination, enthusiasm, and ambition he brings to the Urban Collaborative are keys to its success. Rather than just detailing the woes of America's inner-city schools, this book offers new insights into the complexity of education reform and provides practical suggestions for ways our schools can be transformed.

The present collection of seventeen papers, most of them already published in international philosophical journals, deals both with issues in the philosophy of logic, the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of language and epistemology. The first part contains critical assessments and somewhat deviant renderings of the work of two seminal philosophers, Frege and Husserl, as well as of the young Carnap and Kripke. The second part contains analyses of central issues in the philosophy of logic, the philosophy of mathematics and semantics, including arguments on behalf of Platonism in the philosophy of mathematics, a defense of second-order logic, a new definition of analyticity, a sketch of a semantics for mathematical statements and a critique of Kripke’s possible world semantics for modal logic.

A currently popular philosophy is summed up in the phrase, “Don't worry, just go with the flow.” This book was written by a leading member of the German Reichstag (parliament), Wilhelm von Kardorff, who discovered that “the flow,” both of his own personal assumptions and of the universally taught doctrines of German economic philosophy and government policy were dead wrong and leading towards a waterfall of complete destruction and impoverishment of his nation. With this book, he launched a successful campaign to redirect the flow (or current) with the introduction of “American System” economic policies into Germany. This book (originally entitled Gegen den Strom! Eine Kritik der Handelspolitik des Deutschen Reichs an der Hand Carey'schen forshungen) was first published in Berlin in 1875. By May of 1879, von Kardorff's campaign resulted in German Chancellor Bismarck's adoption of a new economic program, which he announced in a presentation before the Reichstag. To a large degree Bismarck based his new program on this book and von Kardorff's accompanying educational/political exertions. The flow, or current, was redirected along the lines of the Henry C. Carey-Abraham Lincoln American System policies and Germany became one of the leading scientific-agricultural-industrial nations of the world. By pointing out errors of judgment and axiomatic assumption, this book made history--as it shall do now again. In both science and politics, progress is impossible without a willingness to reexamine assumptions and axioms. A bright future awaits us if we but put aside our conceits. We must go Against the Current!

The premise: You take two boys who meet at age 12 and then show their relationship 25 years later. One has his promise taken from him by the controlling influence of first, the bully, and later, the grand manipulator. What begins as a story of constant abuse and the struggle to break free, turns into a psychological suspense thriller, as not all is what it seems. The victim is in some ways as calculating as the bully, and willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of others. The power hungry manipulator will stop at nothing to keep his power, and to keep his golden ticket from rising up against him. One moment of bravery becomes the catalyst that ignites the war of attrition. With the help of a kindred spirit, the victim realizes that to break free from the tyranny of oppression, the bully has to be thoroughly stopped. A chess match of deathly proportions ensues within a thirty-six hour period that leaves several people dead and the two men facing each other in a classic battle of, "to the death." Against the Current answers the question of what happens if the bully is still in your life after twenty-five years and you've been pushed hard enough to fight back. The characters are rich and believable, true to themselves. The setting is a mid-sized Iowa town. Evil comes in many forms and wears many faces. Against the Current explores the evil behind the need to manipulate others, and the inner strength of goodness that compels some of us to stand up to that evil.

Set in the tumultuous sixties, and published by Little, Brown in the eighties, this novel of a people's governor and a Southern newspaperman still resonates with the moral choices that only strong people face. John Logue's compelling fiction is available again, in a new digital edition. "John Logue's Boats Against the Current is a powerful, intriguing tale of the South in its recent time of troubles. Master storyteller that he is, Mr. Logue weaves a narrative of newspapering, politics, and violence that crackles with suspense, yet remains strongly insightful and true." —Willie Morris "I thought it was wonderful. Took me back to my days covering the Texas state house." —Walter Cronkite "This is the way novels ought to be written—plenty of plot, plenty of character development, plenty of action. I am not much on these deep psychological things. I want a helluva good story, and that's what you have here." —James J. Kilpatrick Review of the original edition from Library Journal: "The governor is on his deathbed; a black woman tries to have her son, a Vietnam War casualty, buried in a white cemetery; a prominent doctor is found dead, an apparent suicide. It is January 1967, and Jack Harris has returned to Alabama, after a seven-year absence, to be editor of the Montgomery Courant. As he struggles with the news, trying to reconcile his principles with the segregationist policies of the newspaper and its publisher, Harris begins the process of reassimilation into the culture and good-ole-boy network of Southern politics. With cold precision, the author exposes Harris's compromises in selecting and writing the news, as well as the poverty, prejudice, and political corruption about which he writes. Nevertheless, there is a personal warmth to the characters which allows the reader to understand the individual while abhorring his actions. Recommended." —Thomas L. Kilpatrick, Southern Illinois Univ. Lib., Carbondale (Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.)

In this outstanding collection of essays, Isaiah Berlin, one of the great thinkers of the twentieth century, discusses the importance of dissenters in the history of ideas--among them Machiavelli, Vico, Montesquieu, Herzen, and Sorel. With his unusual powers of imaginative re-creation, Berlin brings to life original minds that swam against the current of their times--and still challenge conventional wisdom. In a new foreword to this corrected edition, which also includes a new appendix of letters in which Berlin discusses and further illuminates some of its topics, noted essayist Mark Lilla argues that Berlin's decision to give up a philosophy fellowship and become a historian of ideas represented not an abandonment of philosophy but a decision to do philosophy by other, perhaps better, means. "His instinct told him," Lilla writes, "that you learn more about an idea as an idea when you know something about its genesis and understand why certain people found it compelling and were spurred to action by it." This collection of fascinating intellectual portraits is a rich demonstration of that belief.
