The memoirs of Sir Robert Borden are honest, straightforward, and fair; qualities similar to those possessed by the unpretentious Nova Scotia lawyer who became leader of the Conservative Party and Canada's prime minister during World War One.

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.

Voices from French Ontario

For more than a year and a half Sheila Arnopoulos travelled through the region visiting or living in Sudbury, Hearst, Dubreuilville, and Timmins. Here she chronicles the changes time has brought to the lives of some of the 700,000 people of French origin in Ontario. She describes the blossoming of a culture which draws from both French and English backgrounds. She features the stories of two celebrated Canadian businessmen from Sudbury, Paul Desmarais and Robert Campeau, in a discussion of the development of a new commercial and financial élite. Arnopoulos also writes of miners, poets, playwrights, lumber barons, and ordinary people, to give a vivid picture of their frustrations and aspirations. The French of Nouvel-Ontario have created a regional identity of their own. But under what conditions can French communities in English Canada hope to survive? Arnopoulos finds that federal bilingualism and the expansion of French Quebec businesses across the country are most likely the key factors.

Russell's discussion reflects the broad categories of popular music activity during this period. His first section describes the musical activity generated by moral crusaders, philanthropists, educationalists, and reformers who sought to use music as a method of instilling habits of mind and body in the English working classes. The second studies the musical forms developed by entrepreneurs, particularly in the music halls. The third section focuses on the music and musical institutions produced by the community, illustrating the popular capacity for making as well as enjoying music. Perhaps most important, in this first thorough social history of popular music Russell shows how ideas and experiences gained through various forms of popular musical activity influenced popular political life.
