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. |

Wikipedia (Hardcover) $72.1 According to Wikipedia, Great Ayton–where historian O`Sullivan resides–is a village in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire on the edge of the North York Moors in England. In a socio-historical analysis of this highly successful online encyclopedia, he applies group theory to compare and contrast it to mass communication projects of the past: from the ancient library of Alexandria to the making of the Oxford English Dictionary. Weighing the competitive, individualistic nature of present-day culture against converging cultural production, he discusses Wikepedia`s aims, community, structure, costs, relationship to the public, and the nature of knowledge. Lastly, he makes suggestions for browsing, assessing, and contributing to Wikipedia content. Annotation )2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) |
