Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
According to our Lord's teaching, we can make the most of our life
by losing it. He says that losing the life for his sake is saving
it. There is a lower self that must be trampled down and trampled

First published in 1984. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &

First published in 1989, Skyscrapers Hide the Heavens continues to
earn wide acclaim for its comprehensive account of Native-newcomer
relations throughout Canada's history. Author J.R. Miller charts
the deterioration of the relationship from the initial, mutually
beneficial contact in the fur trade to the current displacement and
marginalization of the Indigenous population. The fourth edition of
Skyscrapers Hide the Heavens is the result of considerable revision
and expansion to incorporate current scholarship and developments
over the past twenty years in federal government policy and
Aboriginal political organization. It includes new information
regarding political organization, land claims in the courts, public
debates, as well as the haunting legacy of residential schools in
Canada. Critical to Canadian university-level classes in history,
Indigenous studies, sociology, education, and law, the fourth
edition of Skyscrapers will be also be useful to journalists and
lawyers, as well as leaders of organizations dealing with
Indigenous issues. Not solely a text for specialists in
post-secondary institutions, Skyscrapers Hide the Heavens explores
the consequence of altered Native-newcomer relations, from
cooperation to coercion, and the lasting legacy of this impasse.
This volume contains papers from three sets of tutorial covering
mathematics "Topics in Harmonic Analysis with Applications to Radar
and Sonar," physical aspects of scattering "Sonar and Radar Echo
Structure," and engineering modelling and processing of the
phenomena under consideration "Theory of Remote Surveillance
Algorithms." In addition, the famous technical report by Calvin H.
Wilcox "The Synthesis Problems for Radar Ambiguity Functions" is
published here for the first time.
Simultaneous Statistical Inference, which was published originally
in 1966 by McGraw-Hill Book Company, went out of print in 1973.
Since then, it has been available from University Microfilms
International in xerox form. With this new edition Springer-Verlag
has republished the original edition along with my review article
on multiple comparisons from the December 1977 issue of the Journal
of the American Statistical Association. This review article
covered developments in the field from 1966 through 1976. A few
minor typographical errors in the original edition have been
corrected in this new edition. A new table of critical points for
the studentized maximum modulus is included in this second edition
as an addendum. The original edition included the table by K. C. S.
Pillai and K. V. Ramachandran, which was meager but the best
available at the time. This edition contains the table published in
Biometrika in 1971 by G. 1. Hahn and R. W. Hendrickson, which is
far more comprehensive and therefore more useful. The typing was
ably handled by Wanda Edminster for the review article and Karola
Decleve for the changes for the second edition. My wife, Barbara,
again cheerfully assisted in the proofreading. Fred Leone kindly
granted permission from the American Statistical Association to
reproduce my review article. Also, Gerald Hahn, Richard
Hendrickson, and, for Biometrika, David Cox graciously granted
permission to reproduce the new table of the studentized maximum
modulus. The work in preparing the review article was partially
supported by NIH Grant ROI GM21215.
Since the 1980s, successive Canadian institutions and federal
governments as well as Christian churches have attempted to grapple
with the malignant legacy of residential schooling through official
apologies, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, the Indian
Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, and the Truth and
Reconciliation Commission (TRC). In Residential Schools and
Reconciliation, award-winning author J.R. Miller tackles and
explains these institutional responses to Canada's residential
school legacy. Analysing archival material and interviews with
former students, politicians, bureaucrats, church officials, and
the Chief Commissioner of the TRC, Miller reveals a major obstacle
to achieving reconciliation - the inability of Canadians at large
to overcome their flawed, overly positive understanding of their
country's history. This unique, timely, and provocative work asks
Canadians to accept that the root of the problem was Canadians like
them in the past who acquiesced to aggressively assimilative
policies.
