Quebec 1850-1950 $8 The story of a forgotten way of life, captured in photographs PRarely has the essence of a people and their land been revealed as eloquently as in this collection of photographs of life in Quebec during the years 1850-1950. During that century Quebec became a province, rose to prominence in Canada, settled the wilderness, and developed a unique cultural and linguistic identity. It is fortunate that so many high-quality photographs, some taken by celebrated photographers such as William Notman, have survived to give us a glimpse into life over the changing decades. PThe images, carefully selected from the Quebec Archives, capture the wonder and hardship of early settlers and city dwellers who farmed the land, harvested the sea and forest, and built homes out of the wilderness. The coming of the railway is shown, along with the transition from sail to steam, the arrival of the automobile and the growth of cities. There are scenes of celebrations and struggles, country and village life, and everyday activities and diversions. All photos are captioned to provide specific and often insightful information. PThese archival photographs have preserved a remarkable culture and a vanished way of life. Together, the images capture a place where traditions have changed, though the essence of the people and the land remain. PAnyone with an interest in Quebec life and history will be fascinated by this wonderful collection of images and the history it represents. |

QUEBEC $115.48 In this richly documented work, Serge Courville tells the geographical history of Quebec, from the appearance of the first human groups through to the present day. This detailed and erudite book maps the major stages of Quebec’s collective development, providing a geographical record of the many social relationships that over time created a sense of place. Landscape, Courville shows, is the keeper of memory, the record of successive changes, and a witness to the genesis of the new. Places that were once agricultural, then left to waste and ruin, are today revivified by tourism. Areas that now house office buildings were long ago open playgrounds where children ruled. Drawing on vast research, Courville shows how, in spite of the turbulence Quebec often endures – or perhaps because of it – the land itself may be seen as an important participant in the history of its peoples. Quebec: A Historical Geography was originally published by Les Presses de l’Universite Laval as Le Quebec: Geneses et mutation du territoire. |

Quebec $11.98 Prior to the release of its eighth studio album, Ween claimed that Quebec represented a return to the “browner side” of the band, an assertion that surely warmed the hearts of longtime followers. If you’re not sure what the “browner side” is, it’s their predilection for weirdness, both creepy and cheerful, that has largely been absent since expert studio-craft entered the picture with Chocolate & Cheese — a record that had its share of strangeness (”Spinal Meningitis [Got Me Down]” is as unsettling as pop music gets, no matter how darkly funny it is), but surely exhibited their musicality. Deaner and Gener are many things but liars they are not, and Quebec is indeed the strangest album Ween has made since Chocolate & Cheese, but the lessons of 12 Golden Country Greats, The Mollusk, and White Pepper have not been forgotten. This is Pure Guava performed with the precision and cleanliness of White Pepper — perhaps a mixed blessing for some (those who long for the Scotchguard-fueled madness of The Pod), yet it’s a sheer delight for those who patiently sat through the longest period between Ween albums yet. If Quebec has any faults, it’s that it is more a collection of songs than a unified record and, sometimes, those songs seem to be included just to get things weird again. Then again, that’s kind of the point of Quebec — it’s a clearinghouse of ideas, jokes, experiments, and jams that gains its own momentum through its lack of cohesion, not the least because it feels like they’re stretching their legs now that they’re on an indie label again (this is their first record for Sanctuary after nearly a decade on Elektra). And make no mistake, this is the least cohesive album they have ever made — such sprawling affairs as The Pod and Pure Guava were unified by their homespun sonics and adolescent irreverence — but it really doesn’t matter, because they’re now working at a level where it matters not if they are consistent, because they now have a worshipping audience who will listen to this as a song-by-song record, eventually coming to appreciate Quebec for what it is: a hell of a fun, rewarding ride. Like on White Pepper, the deepest moments arrive through vaguely psychedelic and proggy moments, but they’re offset by light japes like “Hey There Fancy Pants,” the warped “Happy Colored Marbles” (which is equal parts bubblegum and heavy prog), the sheer brilliant bizarreness of “So Many People in the Neighborhood” (boasting the welcome return of tape-manipulated voices), and the roaring Motörhead salute “It’s Gonna Be a Long Night” that opens the album with guns ablazing. Quebec ends on the other side of the spectrum, with the apocalyptic dirge “If You Could Save Yourself, You’d Save Us All,” and between those two extremes pretty much every other emotion is explored (even if tongue is firmly in cheek). There may be no grand scheme, no unifying theme, but after nearly a decade of pseudo-concept albums, that’s fine because the format of Quebec le |

The Battle for Quebec 1759: Britain’s Conquest of Canada $55.95 The definitive history of the campaigns in Canada between the British and French Empires during the Seven Years War. On September 13, 1759, British and French forces fought one of the most decisive battles of history, on the Plains of Abraham outside the Canadian capital of Quebec. The British force decisively routed the French, seized the city and ultimately all of Canada. Both the French and British commanders fell in the battle, and ever since the pathos and heroism of the encounter have engrossed historians. The struggle for Quebec was far more than one climactic battle. The campaign involved an immense military and naval operation, an 18th-century D-Day, which had begun the year before. Matthew Ward has researched extensively in archives in Britain and Canada to look at the entire campaign for Quebec, from its inception in Whitehall to its ultimate culmination in Montreal in 1760. He has probed beyond the actions of commanders and generals, to examine the experiences of the campaign for the ordinary soldier and civilian. What emerges is not just a picture of bravery and heroism, but also of a campaign which became increasingly brutal and cruel, both sides resorting to practices such as the routine scalping of enemy dead. It is also a surprising picture of the day-to-day, often mundane, lives of civilians and troops many thousands of miles from home. |
