canadian history The business of Women marriage, Family, and entrepreneurship in British Columbia, 1901–51 Melanie Buddle Throughout history, Western women have inhabited a conceptual space divorced from the world of business. But women have always engaged in business. The Business of Women explores the world of those women who embraced British Columbia’s frontier ethos in the early twentieth-century. In this detailed examination of case studies and quantitative sources, Buddle reveals that, contrary to expectation, the typical businesswoman was not unmarried or particularly rebellious, but a woman reconciling her entrepreneurship with her identity as a wife, mother, or widow. This groundbreaking study not only incorporates women into the history of business, it challenges commonly held beliefs about women, business, and the marriage between the two. mElANiE bUDDlE teaches history and works as an academic advisor at Trent University. neW in PaPerBacK January 2011 , 224 pages, 6 x 9 " 5 b&w photos, 6 tables 978-0-7748-1813-1 hC $85.00 978-0-7748-1814-8 pb $32.95 978-0-7748-1815-5 librAry E-book Canadian Social History , BC History , Business, Industry & Economics , Women’s Studies history / education New possibilities for the past Shaping History education in Canada Penney Clark The place of history education in schools has sparked heated debate in Canada. Is history dead? Who killed it? Should history be put in the service of nation? Can any history be truly inclusive? This volume advances the debate by shifting the focus from what should be included in history education to how we should think about and teach the past. In this book, historians and educators discuss the state of history education research and its implications for classrooms, museums, virtual environments, and public institutional settings. They develop a comprehensive research agenda both to help students learn about the past and to understand how we construct history from its infinite possibilities. pENNEy ClArk is an associate professor in the Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy at the University of British Columbia and director of the History Education Network/Histoire et éducation en réseau. neW release June 2011 , 352 pages, 6 x 9 " 978-0-7748-2058-5 hC $85.00 978-0-7748-2060-8 librAry E-book History , Education , Educational Policy & Theory , Education History , Historiography history / education inuit Education and schools in the Eastern Arctic Heather E. McGregor Since the mid-twentieth century, sustained contact between Inuit and newcomers has led to profound changes in education in the Eastern Arctic, including the experience of colonization and progress toward the re-establishment of traditional education in schools. Heather McGregor assesses developments in the history of education in four periods – the traditional, the colonial (1945-70), the territorial (1971-81), and the local (1982-99). She concludes that education is most successful when Inuit involvement and local control support a system reflecting Inuit culture and visions. hEAThEr E. mcGrEGor is a researcher who currently works for the public service in Nunavut. neW in PaPerBacK January 2011 , 224 pages, 6 x 9 " 9 b&w photos, 1 map 978-0-7748-1744-8 hC $85.00 978-0-7748-1745-5 pb $32.95 978-0-7748-1746-2 librAry E-book History , Aboriginal Education , Aboriginal Politics & Policy , Northern Studies, Educational Policy & Th e o r y 8 SPRING 2011 | order online @ www.ubcpress.ca
military history Corps Commanders Five British and Canadian Generals at War, 1939–45 Douglas E. Delaney To be a strong leader, a military commander must master many skills – tactical analysis, timely decision-making, efficient communication, savvy supervision, and inspirational motivation. In Corps Commanders, Douglas E. Delaney explores the careers of an eclectic group of soldiers who commanded British and Canadian troops during the Second World War to show how these very different individuals were able to serve with, under, and over each other. In so doing, he offers a much-needed historical perspective on effective military action in a coalition context, and provides the most cogent picture to date of command and leadership at the corps level.

DElANEy is an associate professor of history and chair of war studies at the Royal Military College of Canada. neW release May 2011 , 384 pages, 6 x 9 " 19 b&w photos, 17 maps, 1 table 978-0-7748-2089-9 hC $90.00 978-0-7748-2091-2 librAry E-book Military History , Canadian History , British History StudieS in Canadian miLitarY HiStorY SerieS Published in association with the Canadian War Museum military history Defence and Discovery Canada’s military Space Program, 1945–74 Andrew B. Godefroy The Cold War space race between the United States and the Soviet Union is well documented, but few are aware of Canada’s early activities in this important arena of global power. Defence and Discovery represents the first comprehensive investigation into the origins, development, and impact of Canada’s space program from 1945 to 1974. Meticulously researched, it demonstrates the central role of the military in Canada’s early space research, illuminating a significant yet understudied period in Canada’s growth as a nation. ANDrEW b. GoDEFroy is a strategic analyst and historian with the Department of National Defence, as well as the editor in chief of the Canadian Army Journal . He previously served with the Directorate of Space Development, National Defence Headquarters, and was an official historian for the Canadian Space Agency. neW release April 2011 , 240 pages, 6 x 9 " 978-0-7748-1959-6 hC $85.00 978-0-7748-1961-9 librAry E-book Military History , Canadian History , Security Studies StudieS in Canadian miLitarY HiStorY SerieS Published in association with the Canadian War Museum military history The information Front the Canadian army and news management during the Second World War Timothy Balzer In wartime, capturing the hearts and minds of the citizenry is arguably as important as victory on the battlefield. The Information Front explores the Canadian military’s use of public relations units to manage news during the Second World War. These specialized units were responsible for providing sufficient and positive news coverage to Canadians at home. This fascinating study traces the transformation of an emergent PR organization into an efficient publicity machine. It also scrutinizes news coverage and PR activities during major Canadian operations at Dieppe, Sicily, and Normandy to reveal how the military used censorship and propaganda to rally support for the war effort.
