"Southeastern Vancouver Island is surrounded by the west coast coniferous forest and ringed by mountains, but in places its rainshadow climate is sunny and dry enough to support the growth of cactus. Sidney occupies a particularly favoured such spot on the east side of the Saanich Peninsula. This book traces the fortunes of this fascinating place through photograph and story. It is intended to conjure up the flavours of Sidney's bygone days, not to be a definitive work. Sidney's charmingly eccentric agricultural history runs to duck farming, kelp farming and pear farming. Its vanished industries include a ships' boiler descaling compound, manufactured in a family-run backyard Sidney factory for two generations and distributed around the world. From Sidney's career in transportation comes tales of the hapless, short-lived but ever-so-colourful Victoria and Sidney Railway and SS Iroquois." Check out the scans. . First Edition. Soft Cover.

"The dictionary definition of 'chronic' is; 1. of long duration, continuing, constant. 2. prolonged, lingering. This volume of the Police-Community Relations series deals with those kinds of offenders who are always present in one form or another in American urban life. In recent years their presence may seem more ubiquitous due to greater media coverage and better communication techniques. Nonetheless they are an expected presence which create certain unique problems for law enforcement personnel..." ---- from Chronic Offenders.. First Edition / First Printing. Trade Paperback.

"Among the older definitions of a minority group is that of English and English in A Comprehensive Dictionary of Psychological and Psychoanalytical Terms, 'a stable subgroup within a nation or society that has particular interests diffeent from those of the larger group and that is subject to some form of unfavorable treatment.' As a starting point the preceding definition is as good as any and better than some. It does not limit the minority concept to racial, ethnic and national dimensions. It recognizes the heritage of and the perpetuation of minority status...." ---- from What is a Minority?. First Edition / First Printing. Trade Paperback. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Sullivan has suffered from his partnership with W. S. Gilbert, to the extent, that his independent genius as a composer has been almost completely nought. In writing the first definitive and critical biography of this master, every facet of Sullivan's life and work has been examined and in so doing so throws light, on the composer social and musical environment. – paraphrasing the dust jacket blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
