The Canadian Honours System
This updated, full-colour illustrated book recounts the history of Canada’s various national orders, decorations, and medals. This expanded and updated edition of The Canadian Honours System surveys the history of Canada’s various orders, decorations, and medals, from New France’s Croix de St. Louis, Britain’s the Order of the Bath, to modern Canadian honours such as the Sacrifice Medal and recently created Polar Medal. Since the establishment of the Order of Canada in 1967, the Canadian honours system has grown to become one of the most comprehensive in the world — with more than 300,000 Canadians having been rewarded over the past fifty years. Each honour in the modern Canadian honours system, and its precursor, the British imperial honours system, is examined here in detail, including historical background, design, and criteria for bestowal. With special chapters on heraldry, protocol, and the proper mounting and wearing of medals, The Canadian Honours System is an essential reference for anyone interested in Canadian honours.
Futurevision
The future is not what it used to be. In this volatile era, with the world changing rapidly, people are more curious than ever to know what lies ahead. Will relentless consumerism end up destroying our planet? Or can science and technology allow us to innovate our way out of trouble? Perhaps a greater social consciousness and community-based living will take over — or, conversely, the competition for limited resources may result in everyone fighting for themselves. Drawing on these four possible futures, Richard Watson and Oliver Freeman invite us to examine critically the risks and opportunities to come. They discuss the key factors, trends, critical uncertainties, and wildcards that will shape the future, guiding us to a greater awareness of long-term problems and possible solutions — and empowering us not only to adapt to what might happen, but also to shape our future and to generate change. It’s impossible to know for certain what the future holds, but we can remove some of its surprises by engaging in a meaningful debate about the choices we face now. This book shows us how.

A Capital Collection
When the Corcoran Gallery of Art opened in 1869 it was the first art museum in the United States capital. Throughout its history, the Gallery has continued to break new artistic ground by following a policy of acquiring works by both well-known and emerging artists, from John Singer Sargent to Kerry James Marshall. The Corcoran is also home to art students -- it is the only museum in the U.S. to house an accredited college of art. In the autumn of 2003, the Gallery will start construction of a new wing, which will feature a reinstallation of the museum's permanent collections. Designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, the wing will not only draw attention for its unconventional facade, but it will allow visitors to see highlights from the Gallery's diverse holdings in a powerful and provocative setting.
