This is a book written by children. It is a meditation booklet on
the Passion of Christ. Illustrations are included.
September 11, 2001 marked the beginning of a new era of security
imperatives for many countries. The border between Canada and the
United States suddenly emerged from relative obscurity to become a
focus of constant attention by media, federal and state/provincial
governments on both sides of the boundary, and the public at large.
This book provides a comprehensive examination of the Canada-USA
border in its 21st century form, placing it within the context of
border and borderlands theory, globalization and the changing
geopolitical dialogue. It argues that this border has been
reinvented as a 'state of the art', technology-steeped crossing
system, while the image of the border has been engineered to appear
consistent with the 'friendly' border of the past. It shows how a
border can evolve to a heightened level of security and yet
continue to function well, sustaining the massive flow of trade. It
argues whether, in doing so, the US-Canada border offers a model
for future borderlands. Although this model is still evolving and
still aspires toward better management practices, the template may
prove useful, not only for North America, but also in conflict
border zones as well as the meshed border regions of the EU,
Africa's artificial line boundaries and other global situations.

Foreign Policy Toward Cuba examines the disagreement between the
foreign policy-making communities of the United States and Canada
and that of Cuba and the Caribbean region. The book contrasts the
differing Cuban foreign policy positions taken by the United States
and Canada, contrasting them in turn with Caribbean and Cuban
positions on North America. The book uses a wide range of
perspectives, paying particular attention to the way the Western
Hemisphere understands Cuba and the approaches of Cuban and
Caribbean foreign policy toward North America. Of interest to
students of Latin America, Cuba, and foreign policy and
international relations, the book provides a clear interpretation
of the complex foreign policy between nations.

Although part of a broader circumpolar world, North America's
Arctic and sub-Arctic borders-and the establishment of new
boundaries in the wake of significant, and regionally unique,
change-are increasingly relevant in the broader, global world.
Indeed, the Arctic reality has been dramatically reshaped by new
territorial configurations and comprehensive land claims;
increasing flows of international investment and trade focused upon
resource industries and hydrocarbon extraction; the growing
importance and role of sub-national entities, organizations, and
Indigenous governments; shifting geopolitical interests; and
existential challenges created by climate change and environmental
security. This book demonstrates how North America's Arctic borders
are being reshaped by globalization even as these borders are
adjusting to new internal pressures such as devolution and the rise
of sub-national territorial interests.
This is a prayer book for little children. It teaches them about
the Holy Mass, traditional Latin Mass.
