Berwald, Guillaume
Edmonton

Imprint: Montreal, Leméac, 2013
Binding: Softback

Because he has nothing better to do and everything to prove himself, Emil leaves Montreal to follow his brother Zac out West and try his luck in concrete. In Edmonton, the city of Champions, the easy money awaits, the work that gets into your body, the hard, dangerous, but exhilarating life. Emil will soon be back, he promises his girlfriend Alice, stronger, richer, taller... But rather than elevate his soul by sinking walls, he digs his hole. On the construction sites of a small war waged by the most ambitious, he rubs shoulders with scum and gets his hands as dirty as his heart. He will return from Edmonton as one returns from the front - forever marked, transformed, but ready to go again.150p.. Book. Book Condition: As New. Binding: Soft cover

Beverley, Jo
Christmas Angel

Imprint: Zebra Books, 1992
Binding: Softback

Leander Knollis, Earl of Charrington, was tired of gadding about the Continent on diplomatic missions. It was time he settled down in his family home with a wife at his side and enjoyed a proper English Christmas. But his search for an intelligent woman without fanciful notions of romance was a frustrating one indeed...until he met the very sensible Judith Rossiter. Her figure was most attractive, her manner most pleasing, and her heart kind and gentle. All he wanted was a marriage of convenience, but soon he began to wonder whether his eminently practical mind would be overruled by his surprisingly foolish heart. It was an odd sort of marriage proposal which left Judith perplexed. Why would an earl, and a most attractive one at that, have any interest in marrying an impoverished widow with two children? It was a peculiar notion to consider but the opportunity to better her family's fortune, particularly in the advent of the approaching holiday season prompted her to accept his offer. It seemed an ideal arrangement in which she had nothing to fear...unless it was losing her heart to this most enigmatic earl!. Book. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Soft cover

Albania In Transition: The Rocky Road To Democracy (Nations of the Modern World : Europe)

Imprint: Oxford, Westview Press, 1998
Edition: 1st UK Edition.
Binding: Hardback , With Dust Jacket

In early 1997, Albanias transition to democracy suffered a serious setback when pyramid schemes sparked violent unrest, plunging the country into its worst political and economic crisis since the downfall of communism. The uprisings and subsequent elections, in which the Socialist Party won a landslide victory, have made front-page news in the international community. And Albanias proximity to the Yugoslavian melee and history of extreme radical communism make it a nation to watch.In Albania in Transition, Elez Biberaj provides a comprehensive political profile of Albania since 1989. He charts Albanias transition from one party to many, from a command economy to a market economy, and its transition to a national security state in an unpredictable, post Cold War international security regime..

Bicheno, Hugh
Crescent and Cross: The Battle of Lepanto 1571

Imprint: London, Cassell, 2003
Edition: 1st UK Edition
Binding: Hardback , With Dust Jacket

: "For much of the last fourteen hundred years the relationship between Christianity and Islam has been extremely troubled. Competition, misunderstanding and fanaticism led to frequent conflicts between those marching under the banners of the two religions, often ferocious in the extreme and studded with atrocities. Yet between these episodes - even at times in the midst of them - Muslims and Christians traded and associated with each other without any inherent animosity." "This book describes an event widely believed to herald the ultimate supremacy of western culture. On the morning of 7 October 1571, at the mouth of a gulf in western Greece, the fleets of the Muslim Ottoman Empire and the Roman Catholic Holy League collided in the last great battle ever to be fought between oared fighting ships. The Battle of Lepanto was the outstanding military event in a sixteenth century marked by constant warfare, and the greatest single battle ever fought between crescent and cross. Many believe that it changed the balance of power in the Mediterranean forever, and turned back a Muslim tide that threatened to engulf Europe." "However, as Hugh Bicheno shows here, the symbolic importance of Lepanto far outweighed its military significance. This timely book is the first major study of the battle ever written in English, and the first for many years in any language. It is enormous in scope, tracing the lines of history that came together at that time and place to explain why an event that barely affected the geopolitical balance in the Mediterranean is regularly counted among the decisive battles of history. Not least, as an illustration of the complex human reality behind an age-old conflict, the story is acutely relevant to the history we are living at present" 350p.illus (some col.) maps,tables, chronology, appendices, endnotes, bibliography. index..

Bickerman, Elias J.
The Jews in the Greek Age

Imprint: Cambridge MA, Harvard University Press, 1988
Edition: Reprint
Binding: Softback

One of our century's greatest authorities on the ancient world gives us here a vivid account of the Jewish people from the conquest of Palestine by Alexander the Great in 332 BCE to the revolt of the Maccabees. It is a rich story of Jewish social, economic, and intellectual life and of the relations between the Jewish community and the Hellenistic rulers and colonizers of Palestine?a historical narrative told with consummate skill.Elias Bickerman portrays Jewish life in the context of a broader picture of the Near East and traces the interaction between the Jewish and Greek worlds throughout this period. He reconstructs the evidence concerning social and political structures; the economy of Hellenistic Jerusalem and Judea; Greek officials, merchants, and entrepreneurs as well as full-scale Greek colonies in Palestine; the impact of Greek language and culture among Jews and the translation of Jewish Scriptures into Greek; Jewish literature, learning, and law; and the diaspora in the Hellenistic period. He deploys his profound knowledge gracefully, weaving archaeological finds, literary traditions, the political and economic record, and fertile insights into an abundant and lively history. This first full study of the pre-Maccabean interaction between the Greek and Jewish cultures will be welcomed by historians and specialists in Judaic studies. But any reader interested in the ancient Mediterranean world will find it to be filled with pleasures and discoveries.. 338p. /. Book. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Soft cover

The legacies of theaters, hotels, fire stations, flour mills, and more torn down, burned down, and otherwise lost are uncovered in this bittersweet collection.

Accompanying Biesingers illustrations are Alex Bozikovics descriptions which capture each buildings historical, cultural, and architectural significance. Bozikovic draws on local histories, archived building permits and his own extensive knowledge of the Canadian urban architectural landscape and its history from the letters passed through Kelownas unlikely art deco post office to the destruction of a home in Halifaxs Africville to offer fascinating, sometimes forgotten stories about each building and its significance. An impossible architectural walking tour, 305 Lost Buildings of Canada spans the country, its cities and countryside, and its history. Cities change, buildings come and go, but in this fact-filed compendium, you'll find the lost wonders of Canada's architecture.

Bilgen-Reinart, Ustun
Porcelain Moon And Pomegranates: A Woman's Trek Through Turkey

Imprint: Toronto, Dundurn Press, 2007
Edition: 1st Can Ed.
Binding: Softback

For millennia, the land now called Turkey has been at the crossroads of history. A bridge between Europe and Asia, between West and East, between Christianity and Islam, the peninsula also known as Anatolia, the place where the sun rises, is one of the oldest continually inhabited regions on the planet. In this unique blend of memoir and travel literature, Ustun Bilgen-Reinart explores the people, politics, and passions of her native country, whisking the reader on a journey through time, memory, and space.
