a pirate captain to outdo his rivals, featuring the vocal talents
of Hugh Grant, David Tennant and Salma Hayek. Pirate Captain (voice

For better or worse, The Bee Gees' music and image has long been
synonymous with the 1970s, and the career trajectory of brothers
Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb in that ten-year span meanders
between dizzying highs and devastating lows. The Bee Gees began
1970 as non-existent - bitterly split after succumbing to the
pressures and excesses of their first wave of international fame in
the latter part of the 1960s. By 1979, they were one of the most
successful music acts on the planet. In between, the brothers
crafted timeless works that defied genre, transcended societal
boundaries, and permeated generations of listeners. The Bee Gees
would go on to sell over 200 million records, making them among the
best-selling music artists of all time; they would be inducted into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Australian Recording Industry's
Hall of Fame, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and receive
lifetime achievement awards from the British Phonographic Industry,
the American Music Awards, World Music Awards and the Grammys.
According to Billboard magazine the Bee Gees are one of top three
most successful bands in their charts' history.

W.A. Mackintosh (1895-1970) was an exemplary public intellectual
and a modest person of rare abilities. In the first biography of
this influential economist, Hugh Grant addresses how Mackintosh's
commitment to public service and to the principles of reason and
tolerance shaped his contribution to economic scholarship,
government policy, and university governance. In the 1920s and
'30s, Mackintosh emerged as the country's leading economist. His
most notable contribution was his "co-discovery" with Harold Innis
of the staple thesis of Canadian economic development, which
informed research in the field for a generation. During the Second
World War Mackintosh joined the Department of Finance, where he
played a central role in the successful management of the wartime
economy and in Canada's adoption of Keynesian economic policy. As
the author of the federal government's 1945 White Paper, Mackintosh
laid out the broad strokes of Canada's adherence to Keynesianism in
the post-war period. After his return to Queen's, Mackintosh would
become the university's fifteenth principal and guide the
institution as it prepared for the transformation of Canadian
universities. This definitive biography of a remarkable man who had
a profound influence on the development of modern Canada restores
the record on his important contributions to Canadian economic
thought and national and international finance.

"Colorado Abstract" examines the establishment of abstraction in
the art of Colorado during the late twentieth and early
twenty-first centuries.
For this groundbreaking study, Michael Paglia and Mary Voelz
Chandler begin with the first generation of artists active in the
1930s and conclude with the modernists of the 1970s and 80s. Paglia
focuses on the history of abstraction in Colorado, and Chandler's
essays document the artistic development and vision of more than
fifty contemporary artists who are creating abstract paintings and
sculptures today.
