Product Description
A respected retired businessman in Winnipeg, well liked by his neighbors, is shattered to receive mysterious photographs in the mail.Photos of him as a young man, in his SS uniform.The Special Prosecutions Unit in Ottawa is dedicated to investigating and indicting Nazi war criminals in Canada. However they never manage to successfully prosecute a single one.Dozens of lawyers, historians, policemen, and clerk amass hundreds of files on suspects, most of whom inconveniently die.Increasingly demoralized by the prospect of the inevitable closing of the unit, many at SPU begin to look forward to the prospect of prosecuting criminals who are not wheel-chair bound.Dennis Connor, a historian, is eventually left as the last employee of the SPU, charged with the closing all of the files.But one file he cannot give up.The crimes Friedrich Reile committed with an SS unit on the Eastern Front are so terrible that Connor cannot close the file and forget them.And so with no legal recourse, Connor begins to send anonymous letters to Reile.The letters and photos bring back memories, and Reile tells his story of how an ordinary seventeen-year-old boy gradually turns into a war criminal, a mass murderer.But Reile, for all his monstrous crimes, is not a monster.Just as Connor, who wishes to be a crusading knight in shining armor, is in fact a cynical bureaucrat leading a joyless life.By showing the human aspect of both these men, Peter Hogg brings a new, deeper element into what could have been a familiar story.With surprising occasional satire, juxtaposing mundane office life with terrible crimes against humanity, this deserved winner of the Robertson Davies/Chapter prize explores the complexities of two men`s relationship with evil.AUTHORBIO: Peter Hogg is a Criminal Prosecutor in Vancouver, Canada, specializing in gang and drug related prosecutions.Originally from Manitoba, he has worked for the Department of Justice in Winnipeg and Calgary.From 1993 to 1995 he worked in Ottawa for the War Crimes Unit.This is his first novel. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars A Moving and Thought-inspiring Read...
As a fan of Canadian literature and authors, I picked up Peter Hogg's "Crimes of War" with a bit of hesitation.Previous to this book, it had been my experience that the 'Nazis' of fiction tend to come off as one-dimensional, with nearly no thought behind them: cardboard villains.

This was not the case in "Crimes of War."Hogg has put a monumental amount of thought and effort into making this book not only enjoyable, but emotionally stirring.The main character, like Hogg himself once did, works in the special division of the Canadian Government that tracks down escaped world war II criminals in Canada.

Time, however, has made this government office obsolete.The Nazis are dying of old age, and, worse, so are the victims who could identify them even if they were arrested.The office is being closed, and Hogg's protagonist, Dennis Connor, has the distinctly unpleasant duty of being the last one there to shut it down, lock the door, and leave the keys behind.

But first, there is one more criminal he knows has escaped into Canada: Reile.

Alternating between the view of the war criminal, the protagonist, and dancing between the present and the past, this book is highly evocative.There is a real humanization of the Nazi who is old aged and ailing, and hiding in Canada.Hogg's novel dares to explore what the mass murderers of world war two were like on an individual level - and without pulling punches: Riele is not an apparent monster.

As the back of the book says, "Does it makes sense to pursue old men in their seventies or eighties for what they did, under orders, in the tumoil of war in Europe fifty years earlier?""How can the forces of justive ignore mass murderers among us, regardless of how much time has elapsed since they killed their last child?"

The questions, and the book's characters, are disturbing, and dead-on accurate.This is not a light read, nor an easy one, but a very rewarding one.I promise you'll put "Crimes of War" down with many new thoughts. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Canada still exists
This is a short and rather dry explanation of the Canadian Meech Lake accords. Outside Canada, this may be of little interest. Frankly, so too for Canadians. It describes the outcome of seemingly interminable negotiations between Quebec and the rest of Canada, to assuage Quebec's demands for more autonomy.

Granted, a Quebecker who reads this will invariably get irate. But the accords seem to grant Quebec quite a lot of self rule, while still preserving the concept of Canada. ... Read more

Product Description
The unpublished papers of 17th century traveller Engelbert Kaempfer were acquired by Sir Hans Sloane, and became part of the foundation collections of the British Museum. This award-winning biography tells the story of Kaempfer's journeys in Japan, which gave the first accurate descriptions of that country, its people and culture. A qualified physician who spoke several languages, he became a master draughtsman, and was a pioneer in many fields of study, from Persian archaeology to Japanese history, and from cartography to botany and medicine. The book is illustrated with Kaempfer's own drawings and other contemporary material. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
By comparison with other areas of private law, the law of succession has been neglected by modern scholars. This volume contributes to its rehabilitation by examining key issues in succession law from a variety of perspectives: national, historical and comparative. In particular it seeks to extend the techniques of legal comparison into an area of law where hitherto they have been little used. The jurisdictions most prominently featured are the mixed jurisdictions of Scotland and South Africa, but there are frequent comparative references, and special attention is given to the Netherlands as the country which has most recently re-written its succession law. The authors of the individual chapters are drawn from Scotland, South Africa, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. Among the topics covered are freedom of testation, testamentary conditions and public policy, forfeiture clauses and events, revocation of wills by changed circumstances, revocation of mutual wills, fideicommissary substitutions, and succession agreements. The volume opens with an overview of the state of comparative law and with a consideration of compulsory heirship in Roman law. ... Read more

Product Description

Over the past few decades feminist media scholarship has flourished, to become a major influence on the fields of media, film and cultural studies. At the same time, the cultural shift towards 'post-feminism' has raised questions about the continuing validity of feminism as a defining term for this work. This book explores the changing and often ambivalent relationship between the three terms women, feminism and media in the light of these recent debates. At the same time it places them within the broader discussions within feminist theory - about subjectivity, identity, culture, and narrative - of which they have formed a crucial part.

The book is organised around four key topic areas. 'Fixing into Images' offers a rethinking of one of the first preoccupations of feminist media analysis: the relationship between women and images. 'Narrating Femininity' explores the narratives of femininity produced in media texts in the light of theories of narrative and identity. 'Real Women' examines both the continuing absence of women's voices from the genres of news and documentary, and their over-presence within popular 'reality' media forms. Finally, 'Technologies of Difference' examines the relationship between feminism, women and new media technologies. Throughout, the book explores key issues within feminist media studies both through specific examples and via critical engagement with the work of major theoretical writers.

Features

A completely up-to-date study of the key areas of issue and debate in feminist media studies.

Includes case studies and discussion of the work of key writers in the field.

Contains readings of specific texts, ranging from news and advertising to reality TV and 'postfeminist' TV drama.

Product Description
Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Herbert Marshall McLuhan, CC (July 21, 1911 - December 31, 1980) was a Canadian educator, philosopher, and scholar-a professor of English literature, a literary critic, a rhetorician, and a communication theorist. McLuhan's work is viewed as one of the cornerstones of the study of media theory. McLuhan is known for the expressions "the medium is the message" and "global village". McLuhan was a fixture in media discourse from the late 1960s to his death and he continues to be an influential and controversial figure. More than ten years after his death he was named the "patron saint" of Wired magazine. McLuhan was born in Edmonton, Alberta, to Elsie Naomi (née Hall) and Herbert Ernest McLuhan. His brother, Maurice, was born two years later. "Marshall" was a family name: his maternal grandmother's surname. Both of his parents were born in Canada. His mother was a Baptist schoolteacher who later became an actress. His father was a Methodist and had a real estate business in Edmonton. When war broke out, the business failed, and McLuhan's father enlisted in the Canadian army. After a year of service he contracted influenza and remained in Canada, away from the front. After Herbert's discharge from the army in 1915, the McLuhan family moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where Marshall grew up and went to school, attending Kelvin Technical High School before enrolling in the University of Manitoba in 1928. At Manitoba, McLuhan's discomfort with religion and his turn to literature to gratify his soul's hunger for truth and beauty initiated a stage in his spiritual development which he would later refer to as agnosticism. McLuhan earned a BA (1933)-winning a University Gold Medal in Arts and Sciences-and MA (1934) in English from the University of Manitoba, after a one year stint as an engineering major. He had long desired to pursue graduate studies in England and, having failed to secure a Rhodes sch...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more
