The Hutterite way of life originated in central Europe nearly 450 years ago. Today, Hutterite colonies are unique features of the agricultural landscape of Manitoba. This pioneering study, based on years of field research, presents a thorough account of every aspect of the agricultural base of the Hutterite way of life. Beginning with an historical account of Hutterite settlement, colony administration, and a description of day-to-day life, the study proceeds to a derailed description of the agricultural economy through which the Hutterites maintain their distinctive way of life.

The period between 1918 and 1939 is considered the golden age of graphic art in Poland. Although much of the work produced during this time was destroyed in the Second World War, an important group of prints was in Canada and thus escaped destruction. In Grafika Polska - Estampes Polonaises - Polish Prints, 1918-1939 the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences in Canada and the Polish Library have gathered together high-quality reproductions of 120 prints from the library's collection, bringing this previously unavailable work to art lovers outside Poland. Grafika Polska - Estampes Polonaises - Polish Prints, 1918-1939 offers a representative example of the art of forty well-known Polish graphic artists, who worked in a variety of media and on a variety of subjects. The medium, date, and size is given for each print, along with biographical notes on the artists. An in-depth article on graphic art in Poland between 1918 to 1939 illuminates the history of the movement and is complemented by bibliographies covering both the general subject and the individual artists. A trilingual publication (Polish, French, and English) Grafika Polska - Estampes Polonaises - Polish Prints, 1918-1939 provides a unique reference source for art historians and will be appreciated by all those interested in graphic art.

The author emphasizes the role of individuals and yet makes it quite evident that by the time of her centenary in the early days of World War II, Queen's had developed an organic vitality through which the vicissitudes occasioned by external fortunes or by internal tensions could be transcended. Throughout the period covered by this volume Queen's faced a long, hard struggle for adequate resources for research in terms of space, equipment, and most importanly, faculty time; the gradual development of graduate work; and the building of library resources. There was firm and creative leadership through the crises of the war and its aftermath and a renewal of optimism through the final decades of this history.
