Nineteenth-century farm families needed land for the next generation. Their quest shaped agricultural settlement across Canada. This overview of rural history in Quebec, Ontario, and the Prairies provides a new perspective on the ways in which agriculture and the family farm were central to the country's expansion and essential to understanding social, political, and economic changes. How Agriculture Made Canada shows how differences between the agricultural development of Quebec and that of Ontario had a decisive influence on the settlement of the Prairies. Peter Russell demonstrates that farming families eventually ran out of land against the edges of the St Lawrence lowlands. While Quebec-based Habitants reached their region's limits earlier, Ontario encouraged people to migrate west. Russell argues that the thousands of relocated Ontario farmers changed Manitoba's bilingual openness to an exclusively English-speaking province that then assimilated East European arrivals. Thus, if not for the agricultural crises in the Canadas, Manitoba might have been at least as francophone as anglophone. The first comprehensive synthesis on the history of Canadian farming in decades, How Agriculture Made Canada reveals the lasting impact that nineteenth-century agricultural changes have had on the nation.

God really does move in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. Including this book there are 14 of my books on Amazon available both in eBook and paperback formats; but none would have been written if it had not been for a whole series of events that led to a friendship initially between an Official Prison Visitor and a Jew who had come to realise that Jesus Christ really was the Jews long awaited Messiah.This book describes a process that was started in 1939 and ended up with three men of diverse characters and situations in life colaborating to provide study books that have brought to many unbelievers and believers the true message of the kingdom of God.It is an itriguing tale that has facinated me and I am one of the three men. But what has brought the greatest joy is the enlightening of a rabbi to the truth of Jesus Christ, Messiah and his epiphany moment that transformed his life. We are told there is great joy in heaven over one sinner that repents, in this case there was also great joy and celebration on earth when Aaron began to read the whole Bible and experience the Holy Spirit open it up to him in a way he had never experienced before. Derek and Aaron, two Jewish boys adopted after the war, went different ways, one into crime and the other to rabbinic school. What is so wonderful is that both these men who had been brought up as Orthodox Jews, had the scriptures (both testaments) opened up to them by a Gentile This is our story, which has benefitted many thousands of individuals.
Putting things in context, by understanding what went before an event and what came after, is very important especially when it comes to Bible events because such activity brings them into clearer focus. A multitude of books must have been written on the subject of the Easter events and their meaning, so why should you read this one? Because of the efforts made to put the whole message in context.What was written about in Genesis is as important in setting the scene for the crucifixion as what Moses recorded in Deuteronomy. What can be discovered in Ezekiel and the reason for the 400 years of silence is as important in setting the scene for the attitude of the leaders of the Jews towards the Messiah when He arrived as are the events surrounding the trial and execution of the Saviour.No book can be written that covers all aspects of the Easter events; an amazingly obvious statement. However, each book will have something to offer the seeker after truth and this one is no exception. After months of research and writing, one or two trusted individuals were asked if this book should be published or deleted from the computer. The singular reply was - publish.This book is, therefore, offered to those who want to discover more about the meaning of the events leading up to and following Easter in order to put the celebration into context.
What is the real meaning of Easter? Why is it celebrated? What has it got to do with the Jewish Passover? And why is it the most important of the church festivals? How does the Easter we celebrate today, reflect what happened on that first Passover (Good Friday) and the third day in Jerusalem over 2,000 years ago? This book explains, with great clarity, the history and meaning behind the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. The why's and where-fore's of this historic event. It is a book to be read carefully for it is to be studied rather than read like a novel. Read the references for they are part of the instructive element of the book which will lead you deeper into spiritual truth.

Madagascar provided the stunning backdrop for one of the strangest conflicts of the Second World War - when Britain went head to head against one of its closest allies.When British forces landed on the island in 1942, the enemy they faced wasn't German, Japanese or even Italian, this time the opposing forces were French.Concerned that Japan might use Madagascar as a strategic base to disrupt the supply line to India, Britain was keen to take control of the island. However, the Vichy forces were keen to defend the French colony and prevent it becoming part of the British Empire.A Strange Campaign: The Battle for Madagascar gives a detailed account of this fascinating but little-known period of military history. Even at the time, the conflict was a controversial one, pitting two colonial empires against each other.However, it was also ground-breaking as it was the first time Allied forces had staged a major amphibious invasion. The lessons learned on the shores of Madagascar would prove to be invaluable two years later during the D-day landings in Normandy.Military historian Russell Phillips examines the tactics used in the battle for Madagascar which included secret agents, dummy paratroopers and attempted bribery.But just how did the British finally break down months of resistance by the French? And how did a tug-of-war over an island in the middle of the Indian ocean influence the rest of the Second World War?

The book includes recommendations for COPD from published guidelines (eg, the GOLD, ATS, and NICE guidelines) and presents them in the context of relevant clinical treatment issues. This is an in-depth guide on the management of COPD, concentrating on the impact of COPD on a patient as well as how healthcare professionals can intervene and educate the patient at an early stage and thereby slow the onset of severe symptoms.
