The laws of Mediaeval Iceland provide detailed and fascinating insight into the society that produced the Icelandic sagas. Known collectively as Gragas (Greygoose), this great legal code offers a wealth of information about early European legal systems and the society of the Middles Ages. This first translation of Gragas is in two volumes.

This is a revisionist account of the first phase of Highland Scottish emigration to Canada. With "improving landlords" threatening tradititonal social and cultural life in the Highlands, the author argues that many of the more affluent Highlanders - the tacksmen and substantial tenants - emigrated of their own accord. The book contains lists of every known vessel carrying emigrants plus every known passenger list of the period, and should prove a valuable source book for any work on the Clearances.

Part ethnography, part narrative, Like the Sound of a Drum is evocative, confrontational, and poetic. For many years, Peter Kulchyski has travelled to the north, where he has sat in on community meetings, interviewed elders and Aboriginal politicians, and participated in daily life. In Like the Sound of a Drum he looks as three northern communities—Fort Simpson and Fort Good Hope in Denendeh and Pangnirtung in Nunavut—and their strategies for maintaining their political and cultural independence. In the face of overwhelming odds, communities such as these have shown remarkable resources for creative resistance. In the process, they are changing the concept of democracy as it is practised in Canada.
