For the ardent collector and (or anyone who once owned a doll, here is a history of the dolls that have been made and loved in Canada. Doll collecting, a popular pursuit in Europe and the United States, has been growing rapidly in Canada. Evelyn Strahlendorf has compiled a reference work that traces the development of dolls in Canada and of the industry that produces them. It contains the dates, names, and characteristics of about 1000 Canadian dolls from prehistoric times to the present. Coverage begins with Inuit and other native dolls, then turns to the dolls that have survived from the days of early European settlement and the dolls of several of the ethnic cultures which make the Canadian mosaic. Much of the book is devoted to the work of commercial dollmakers and the evolution of their dolls, including the history of each company with information about their products, progress, and achievements. The manufacturing process is examined as it developed from bisque and composition through various plastics to the dolls of today. Separate chapters deal with dolls that portray celebrities (including Barbara Ann Scott, the Dionne quintuplets, and Wayne Gretsky), dolls that are more than playthings (used in displays or advertising), the Eaton's Beauty dolls that were the most popular dolls in Canada for many years, and dolls created by artists. The dolls reflect the changing fashions and culture of Canada. Their clothing is often the latest in style and materials; their abilities not only include talking, wiggling, and drinking but in recent years extend to bilingualism. With few exceptions, every doll described has been personally examined by the author. This book is a valuable reference tool for doll collectors, museums, libraries, antique dealers, doll stores, and flea market operators. Because Canada has been exporting dolls for half a century, it will benefit collectors internationally as well. It is also intended for a special class of enthusiast Mrs. Strahlendorf calls the closet collector. There are tens of thousands of such people in North America who have dolls and may collect dolls but do not admit their pleasure to others.
As R.J. Schoeck explained in his introduction to the first volume in this series, a group at the University of Toronto began in 1965 to plan annual conferences on editorial problems. Our first conference (October 1965), dealing with the sixteenth century, was followed by a second in November 1966, out of which the present volume has grown. Our experience of these two justifies Professor Schoeck's hopeful assessment of the value of meetings "at which scholars actively at work upon editorial tasks could come together for a free discussion of their work, learning from each other's experience, pooling their common intellectual resources, and seeking out expert opinion and counsel." Some ninety scholars attended the second conference, which featured library displays, a reception, dinner and lunch discussions, as well as the formal sessions, and we are emboldened to say that this is about the optimum number for such conferences. There were amply sufficient interests and attitudes, yet not too many for useful and frank discussion, and there was room for interested graduate students from the area. Few came away from the sessions without having learned something of immediate value and without having been prompted to further hard thought.
Although John Stuart Mill is generally and properly known as a philosopher and political economist, his writings actually cover a wide variety of subjects. In this book Professor Robson brings together the most important strands of Mill’s thought in an attempt to show that it contains a basic unity of approach, at the heart of which is his ethical system. Mill’s ethical position depends on his understanding of the relation between practice and theory, and reflects his own experience, especially his "metal crisis," his appreciation of poetry, and his friendship with Harriet Taylor (who later became his wife). The study brings out the importance of the three phases in Mill’s life: his early period of adherence to the ideas of James Mill and Bentham; his period of assimilation of the influences of Coleridge, Carlyle, Comte, and de Toequeville; and finally his period of mature fame, when he published his System of Logic, Principles of Political Government, Utilitarianism, and other works still central in the British liberal tradition and still used as university texts. Mill’s eminence makes his thought important to anyone interested in recent political, social, economic, and philosophical trends; and his life, as his Autobiography demonstrates, has its own fascination for the general reader as well as for the student of the nineteenth century.

Ketogenic Diet Benefits, Pitfalls and Success My 6 Months Research and Findings with 5 Overweight People on Ketogenic DietI am an independent professional researcher with a keen interest in diet regimens and health routines. I have a Master's degree in statistics, and I have worked as a freelancer for several for-profit and nonprofit organizations on various case studies and researches. This book is based on one of the researches I carried out for a company and is part of a three series book in which I will be covering my research on three popular diet regiments- the Ketogenic Diet, Mediterranean Diet, and Fast Metabolism Diet. When I carried out this research, I wasn't allowed to publish or share my findings, as per contract, for 12 months. Now that, that period has passed, I am excited at the prospect of finally being able to share my test research along with results.I feel that, too often, people are misled by fad diets, and when they don't experience any concrete results, they give up. Sometimes, they give up too soon, even before a diet can cause any positive changes to the body. I also observed that low carb diets are usually attacked by the media and foodies, trashing it and labeling it to be harmful for the human body. To unearth the truth, I set out to do my own research using my knowledge of research and statistical analysis, and what I found throughout this journey was amazing I am all set to debunk the myths surrounding the ketogenic diet because I want to help those who are looking for a concrete method to lose weight. I want to prove to you how the ketogenic diet can help you by showing you my research results. What I have discovered is that all these three diets can actually help you to lose weight and make your body lean again In This book I Explain: What is Ketogenic diet & KetosisHow this diet worksHow to heal epilepsy, obesity and other illnessesWhat to eat and what not to eatHow is Ketogenic diet different from other low carb diets9 Key benefits of Ketogenic diet4 Pitfalls you should know aboutNext I Breakdown My Research Process: Details about each participantHow the Study took placeWhat the results areWhat I found by doing this researchWhat I concluded from this researchLastly, I Share With You: A list of Do's and Don'tsHow to prepare yourself for successMany great tasting breakfast, lunch and dinner recipesMy final thoughts and adviceGood Luck - Jennifer Robson"I was one of her research participants, I was glad when I heard she would get to share our results in a book, it was a great program and at first little hard to adjust, but after the 3rd week it all just came together. I am happy to say I did manage to lose exactly 85lbs and it has been 3 months since the program ended and I am still feeling great as I did manage to keep that weight off me, so wish me luck A big huge thanks to Jennifer.

Being a freelance researcher gives me many avenues to conduct research and I've been associated with a number of organizations over time to conduct different kinds of research for them. This research on the Mediterranean diet was conducted with the purpose of finding the truth about the diet, its effectiveness, and ideas to implement it in daily life with relative ease. At the time this research was conducted, I could not publish it due to my contract with the company, but now that the period has elapsed, I am free to share my results with you.In this book I explain: What is Mediterranean DietHow this diet works7 Basics of the food PyramidWhat to eat and what not to eat8 Basic rules of the Mediterranean Diet5 Key benefits of Ketogenic dietHealing type 2 diabetes with Mediterranean DietHealing strokes and heart disease with Mediterranean DietReducing risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseaseHow this diet makes you lose weightNext I Breakdown My Research Process: Details about each participantHow the Study took placeWhat the results areWhat I found by doing this researchWhat I concluded from this researchLastly, I share with you: 10 Easy to follow steps to successHow to prepare yourself for success15 Great tasting breakfast, lunch and dinner recipesMy final thoughts and adviceI wrote these books in a format which is not like research paper; they read and flow like a normal book and without any complex statistical analysis. As I understand readers do not want to see or read complicated statistical analysis instead they want to read about the findings and results in plain English. Hope you will benefit from my work.Good Luck - Jennifer Robson
The doctor said, "There appears to be something wrong with your baby from the head down."I had never imagined I would give birth to a child with so many extreme needs. Professionals told me to place my son in an institution and walk away. I refused... I could not. Instead, I took our baby boy home and began a long journey of self-education, trial and error, advocacy, frustration, tears and ultimately - unspeakable joy. No one ever gave me the "right" answers for teaching my son the skills he needed to survive. His needs were far beyond what anyone had ever seen before. He was everyone's learning experience. I had to be creative and resourceful looking deep within myself for a strength that I never knew I had. I had to believe in miracles, whether big or small. It was the only way my son was going to survive....
