For the first time ever, Canadians can look behind the private doors of these three public homes. Originally built in the mid-1800's by prominent businessmen of the day and converted, a century later, for use by Canada's top political leaders, these beautiful buildings are steeped in the heritage and history of Canada. They have served both as homes for relaxing with family and friends as well as formal settings for the entertainment of kings, queens and presidents. The houses have been transformed with each new resident-Mrs. Pearson's Canadiana Room becomes a children's playroom and a coach house and a porte-cochere are now no more. However, the charm of the old lingers today, as the reader will see on a personal guided tour through the rooms and grounds of each of the houses. Pierre Berton, Chairman of The Heritage Canada Foundation, notes in his foreword to the book, that "apart from Maryon Pearson, Pierre and Margaret Trudeau and her own husband, [Ms. McTeer] is the only living Canadian to have occupied all three residences. Thus she brings a special intimacy to her descriptions and an inner knowledge of each home that enhances the value of the work. "She has, of course, done more than this. Every house has a story; but these houses, by their nature and their years, have many. Ms. McTeer has not only dug into the past of all three, she has also taken the trouble to interview several of the former owners. The results are often surprising." With the help of photographer Ted Grant, Maureen McTeer has selected 75 black and white and 15 colour photographs of the homes and the families who lived in them and the result is a long overdue look into three of Canada's most fascinating heritage homes.

Reason in Revolt further develops the theory of Dialectical Materialism, using the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century as a tool. First exposed by Marx and Engels, Dialectical Materialism is a comprehensive methodology explaining the unity of the laws that govern nature, science and society, from evolution to chaos theory, nuclear physics to childhood development. First published in 1995 to coincide with Engel's centenary, Reason in Revolt has had a great success around the world. It has been published in Spanish, Italian, Greek, Turkish, Urdu, and is now being translated into German and Flemish. The Spanish edition recently went into its second edition. To date, no one has found serious fault with the science of the book. And every new discovery of science serves to confirm the statement of Engels, that "in the last analysis, Nature works dialectically."

The dialectical materialism of Marx is not only a useful philosophical method for understanding the processes of society, but is also a powerful tool for the assessment of the scientific method, according to Marxists Grant and Woods. . . . They explain the philosophical basis of dialectical materialism and defend its practice using examples from current work in formal logic and physics. They suggest that just as science provides confirmation of dialectical materialism, so dialectical materialism helps demonstrate where science has lost its way. They are especially critical of the injection of mysticism into current works of theoretical physics. Book News

In 2007, French fascist Le Pen won almost four million votes. In 2009 the British National Party won almost a million votes while Germany's fascist NPD won over 750,000. In 2010, fascist-led organisations like the Engish Defence League and Italy's Future and Freedom party emerged. To help activists understand this twenty-first century wave of fascism, this book gathers together the most important analyses from the 20th century. In "Building unity against fascism" you can read: * German socialist Clara Zetkin, Bolshevik leader Karl Radek and Italian communist Antonio Gramsci on the birth on fascism in the early 1920s * Leon Trotsky's article, including "Fascism: What It Is and How To Fight It", explaining why neither capitalist nor Stalinist parties were able to stop fascism in Italy, Germany and Spain in the 1930s. * Maurice Spector's detailed analysis of German fascism in power * Daniel Guérin's 1939 "Fascism and Big Business" and his 1945 preface to its French edition * Ted Grant's booklet, "The Menace of Fascism", which discussed British fascism, the second World War and the Jewish community in Britain * Analysis by Felix Morrow, James P Cannon and Farrell Dobbs of the rise and fall of fascist organisations in the USA in the 20th century.

A photographic tribute to the man who changed the practice of medicine. 
 A little over a hundred years ago, becoming a doctor was dangerously easy. Admission requirements for training were low and the M.D. was automatically given after the second term, regardless of the student's academic performance. Teaching was by lecture alone, and a student could graduate without ever seeing a patient. 
 Within the space of his lifetime William Osler (1849-1919) worked tirelessly to change medical schools from trade schools into intellectually demanding academic institutions. Osler founded the Department of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University and later became a professor emeritus of medicine at Oxford University. 
 Doctors' Work shows how one remarkable man revolutionized medical schools and redefined the physician-patient relationship. 
 A biographical profile of Osler is followed by photographs of physicians, nurses, and medical technicians at work. Photographed by Ted Grant using extremely high-speed film and virtually silent cameras, these images capture the compassion and dedication of front-line healthcare professionals. Each photograph is accompanied with an insightful quotation by Osler, Pasteur, Curie, Einstein, Nightingale, and many others. 
 Through words and photographs, Doctors' Work is a celebration of MDs, RNs and health care professionals everywhere.

At the beginning of the 21st century, science and philosophy are at the crossroads. The achievements of science and technology in the previous century are unparalleled in history. They provide the potential for the solution of all the problems faced by the planet, and equally for its total destruction. Allegedly scientific theories are being used to "prove" that criminality is caused, not by social conditions, but by a "criminal gene." Black people are alleged to be disadvantaged, not because of discrimination, but because of their genetic make-up. Similar arguments are used for poor people, single mothers, women, and so on. Of course, such "science" is highly convenient for right wing politicians intent on ruthlessly cutting welfare. In the field of theoretical physics and cosmology there is a growing tendency towards mysticism. The "Big Bang" theory of the origin of the universe is being used to justify the existence of a Creator, as in the book of Genesis. For the first time in centuries, science appears to lend credence to religious obscurantism. Yet that is only one side of the story. A growing number of scientists are becoming discontented with the old outlook. The rapid rise of the theory of chaos and complexity is one of the most significant developments in science at the present time. Many of the ideas expressed by this new trend are strikingly similar to the theories of dialectical materialism worked out by Marx and Engels over 160 years ago. A significant part of this present work is devoted to an explanation of the relationship between Marxist philosophy and the new theories. Will this encounter provide the basis for a new and exciting breakthrough in the methodology of science?
