The 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics were the riveting games the world had ever seen. This title offers an insider's perspective on how this complex, expensive, and politicized event was organized within the constraints imposed by limited resources, an unyielding deadline, and intense pressures from international and local special interest groups.

Advances in modern science and technology have made present-day terrestrial and celestial globes scientifically obsolete and aesthetically banal. From the Renaissance to the mid-nineteenth century, however, they were indispensable tools for the study of geography and astronomy. Beginning with an overview of early globes, the authors examine how the modern era in globe making, which began in Flemish and Dutch shops in the early seventeenth century, show how globe making spread throughout Europe, and explain how what were both decorative and scientific objects became symbols of power, universal knowledge, intellectual status, and personal vanity. Beginning with the collection's earliest globe, dated 1533, the authors introduce us to the life and works of some of the greatest Dutch, French, English, German, Italian, and Swedish globe makers. The 120 colour illustrations allow the reader to savour these rare and unusual works and include numerous detailed reproductions of both terrestrial and celestial map images. Sphæræ Mundi charts developments and changes over three centuries of globe making, considering the globes as indicators of scientific advance and geographical exploration as well as artifacts and providing a unique opportunity to become familiar with these complex and beautiful objects.

L’arrondissement historique et naturel du mont Royal est l’un des plus remarquables au Canada, sinon en Amérique du Nord, et le campus de l’Université de Montréal en constitue une composante essentielle. Étonnamment, il n’existait pas jusqu’ici un ouvrage qui en trace un portrait d’ensemble. C’est le défi qu’a relevé une équipe de la Chaire de recherche du Canada en patrimoine bâti de l’École d’architecture de la Faculté de l’aménagement. Ce guide s’intéresse à l’architecture, aux aménagements paysagers et aux paysages du campus depuis son implantation. Mais au-delà de la description des attributs physiques des lieux et de certains rappels historiques, les auteures ont voulu mettre en valeur les liens entre les différentes composantes. C’est précisément par ces rapports, croient-elles, que se comprend la richesse de ce patrimoine exceptionnel. Ce guide ne s’adresse donc pas seulement aux membres de la communauté universitaire d’aujourd’hui et d’hier, mais aussi à ceux et celles qui s’intéressent à l’histoire de Montréal et à l’architecture de paysage.

Survivors of terrible events are often portrayed as unsung heroes or tragic victims but rarely as complex human beings whose lives extend beyond the stories they have told. Beyond Testimony and Trauma considers other ways to engage with survivors and their accounts based on insights gained from long-term oral history projects in a variety of contexts, including factory closures, industrial injury, eugenics and forced sterilization, the Holocaust, genocide in Rwanda and Cambodia, Argentinian torture camps, the Yugoslav Wars, and Jewish emigration from the Maghreb. The contributors, all innovators in the field of oral history, include Henry Greenspan who provides reflections from forty years of listening to Holocaust survivors as well as an insightful afterword. They demonstrate that – through deep listening, long-term relationship building, and collaborative research design – it is possible to move beyond the problematic aspects of “testimony” to shine light on the more nuanced lives of survivors of mass violence. In the process, they offer alternative approaches to the collection of oral history that will shake the foundations of current historiographical practice.
