  • - Observations on Home
    av Esi Edugyan
    154

    Home, for me, was not a birthright, but an invention. It seems to me when we speak of home we are speaking of several things, often at once, muddled together into an uneasy stew. We say home and mean origins, we say home and mean belonging. These are two different things: where we come from, and where we are. Writing about belonging is not a simple task. Esi Edugyan chooses to intertwine fact and fiction, objective and subjective in an effort to find out if one can belong to more than one place, if home is just a place or if it can be an idea, a person, a memory, or a dream. How "home" changes, how it changes us, and how every farewell carries the promise of a return. Readers of Canadian literature, armchair travellers, and all citizens of the global village will enjoy her explorations and reflections, as we follow her from Ghana to Germany, from Toronto to Budapest, from Paris to New York.

    av Ken Tingley
    464,-

    Back Cover: The George W. Arthur Plains Bison and Martin S. Garretson Collections are outstanding examples of the Canadian collections housed at the University of Alberta Libraries. They are representative of our special mandate to collect and preserve books, printed ephemera, maps, manuscripts, and photographs related to the history of Canada's three Prairie Provinces. The printed heritage of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, including that recorded in Peel's Bibliography of the Canadian Prairies to 1953 (2003), may be found on our Peel's Prairie Provinces Website (http: //peel.library.ualberta.ca), where thousands of these texts are freely available online. Front Flap: Ken Tingley, the City of Edmonton's first Historian Laureate, has been involved in historical research and writing for forty years. Ken's family moved from Moncton, New Brunswick, to Royalties, Alberta, in 1955, then to Edmonton in 1956. He has a deep interest in local history and the ephemera that so often expresses that history. His numerous publications include Alberta Remembers: Recalling Our Rural Roots, with Karen Brownlee; A is Alberta: A Centennial Alphabet, with R.F.M. McInnis; The Heart of the City, for Cloverdale Community League; The Path of Duty: The Wartime Letters of Alwyn Bramley-Moore, for the Historical Society of Alberta; and The Strathcona Dream, for the Old Strathcona Foundation. Ken experienced the power, speed, noise, and dust of buffalo personally on one occasion when a small herd in Elk Island National Park became alarmed and broke into a stampede, involving him briefly in the melee. His respect for the big animals remains undiminished years later. Back Flap: Dr. Merrill Distad, Associate University Librarian (Research and Special Collections Services) and University Archivist, University of Alberta, is the co-editor of Peel's Bibliography of the Canadian Prairies to 1953 (Toronto, 2003) and the author, most recently, of The University of Alberta Library: The First Hundred Years, 1908-2008 (Edmonton, 2009)

  • - Eighteenth-Century Printed Books and the Traces of Their Readers
    av Sylvia Brown
    464,-

    The Spacious Margin: Eighteenth-Century Printed Books and the Traces of their Readers draws from the holdings of the Bruce Peel Special Collections Library at the University of Alberta, presenting an array of readerly interactions with books in the form of annotations, improvements, corrections, ornamentation, and suggestive wear-and-tear. In this scholarly catalogue, Brown and Considine describe and contextualize the notable physical traces of readership and circulation for each of the 62 items displayed in the accompanying exhibition (The Spacious Margin, Bruce Peel Special Collections Library, 5 October 2012 - 15 February 2013). The result is a snapshot of the life of books and readers in the eighteenth century: in the British Isles and beyond, from the modestly literate users of well-thumbed dictionaries to learned critics of canonical poets and contemporary philosophers.
