R905 Discovery Miles 9 050 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

With Descriptions Of Their Plumage, Habits, Food, Song, Nests, Eggs, Times of Arrival and Departure. This is among the earliest major Canadian works about birds. It is the first comprehensive account of Canadian birds written by a Canadian and published in Canada. In his Preface, Ross states: "My object in presenting this volume to the public is in some measure to supply a want long felt by those interested in the study of Canadian Ornithology."His work went through two editions with the first appearing in 1871 and the second, in 1872, updated to include 79 species found in Manitoba and British Columbia, newly admitted to the Dominion of Canada. The second edition is divided into an Introduction, six chapters which describe 296 bird species divided into six avian Orders, and another that adds 79 extra western species found in Manitoba and British Columbia. Finally, there are two six-page lists, one of scientific names and one of common or vernacular bird's names. Ross was elected a Fellow of the Linnaean Society of London and of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1875 Ross resumed practicing medicine in Ontario, eschewing the use of drugs, alcohol, and even vaccination in his practice, and for seven years he crusaded for physical and moral reform.--C. Stuart Houston.

36 Steps on the Road to Medicare - How Saskatchewan Led the Way (Paperback): C. Stuart Houston, Merle Massie 36 Steps on the Road to Medicare - How Saskatchewan Led the Way (Paperback)
C. Stuart Houston, Merle Massie
R501 Discovery Miles 5 010 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The co-operative spirit of citizens in twentieth-century Saskatchewan nurtured innovation in health care and health policy. 36 Steps on the Road to Medicare showcases the decisions that led to the province's medicare system - the forerunner of Canadian health care. Stuart Houston and Merle Massie document the range of Saskatchewan leadership on Canadian, North American, and world stages: municipal doctors and municipal hospitals, the first Red Cross Outpost Hospital in the British Empire, tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment, a successful pilot comprehensive regional health care plan, government-sponsored cancer clinics, innovative LSD and patient-oriented treatment for psychoses, the first full-time cancer physicist in Canada, and the world's first concerted clinical use of the betatron and Cobalt-60 in cancer treatment. They show how North America's first social-democratic government, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation - elected in 1944 and led by the incomparable Tommy Douglas - created the blueprint for comprehensive health care and how sequential steps on the road to medicare were implemented quickly and within budget. When federal support for national hospitalization became available, Saskatchewan could afford to initiate medicare in 1962. Other Canadian provinces soon followed Saskatchewan's lead. Updated to engage with current debates, 36 Steps on the Road to Medicare navigates the history of medicare and demonstrates the spirit of innovation that Canada will need to save it.
