Prospectors are the first figures on the ground in the search for minerals hidden by nature’s bounty. These restless searchers have been crisscrossing Canada since French explorers Radisson and Groseilliers first embarked on the exploration game. They are hard working, tenacious and above all curious. Some make a living at prospecting and more fail. And there are a few who find a rich bonanza of precious or base metals. This is the story of Don McKinnon from Cochrane who has a strong drive to succeed. McKinnon enjoyed being in the bush as a forestry worker at the start of his long pro

However much the three great traditions of medicine-- Galenic, Chinese and Ayurvedic--differed from each other, they had one thing in common: scholarship. The foundational knowledge of each could only be acquired by careful study under teachers relying on ancient texts. The ways in which practitioners used these texts varied among historical periods and cultures, providing a rich field for the study of different cultural practices in the legitimation of knowledge. The essays in this volume, contributed by specialists in the history and anthropology of these traditions, range from historical i

In this short, brilliant book, Viktor Shklovsky enunciates the function of the arts: what they are and, just as importantly, what they are not. In the course of defining what art is, by implication he also quietly lays to waste the theories and people who view art as a means of representing "the real world" and a method of communication. His views of the other arts then lead him into his speculations about the art of cinema photography, new at the time that Shklovsky composed his polemic in 1923.
