In the 1970s the vagrant alcoholic was not a new problem, and for
the previous two hundred years people had asked: What can be done
to help them? Why not lock them up? Why don’t they get jobs? Tim
Cook had worked for many years with homeless men and in this book,
originally published in 1975, he describes the problems of vagrant
alcoholics and the way in which one voluntary organization, the
Alcoholics Recovery Project, based in South London, responded to
these problems. The response had in essence been one of
experimentation beginning with the first hostel in 1966, the
development of non-residential shop fronts in 1970, and the
employment of a team of recovered alcoholics in 1974. The Project
sought to break down the mistrust surrounding the problem on all
sides and to rediscover the potential of the so-called
‘hopeless’ skid row alcoholic. Tim Cook places the Project’s
work in the wider context of social work and social responsibility,
and shows that its methods had relevance for other agencies. He
also examines the persistent failure of successive governments to
take any positive action to tackle the problems of vagrant
alcoholics. Throughout the book the views of the alcoholics
themselves are integrated with the attitudes and experiences of the
Project workers. The author offers an assessment of the Project’s
work, and an outline of its limitations, stressing that no easy
answer exists to this problem. But, he believed, the Project had
made valuable progress towards a greater understanding of the
vagrant alcoholic and his milieu.

With compelling insight, Canada 1919 examines the concerns of
Canadians in the year following the Great War: the treatment of
veterans, including nurses and Indigenous soldiers; the rising farm
lobby; the role of labour; the place of children; the influenza
pandemic; the country's international standing; and commemoration
of the fallen. Even as the military stumbled through massive
demobilization and the government struggled to hang on to power, a
new Canadian nationalism was forged. This fresh perspective on the
concerns of the time exposes the ways in which war shaped Canada -
and the ways it did not.
