Description:
Research is an important part of the work of botanical gardens and zoos in Canada, enriching their public programs and improving management of living collections. Most of these institutions participate in research activities to some extent. Approximately a half-dozen zoos and aquaria, and a similar number of botanical gardens, have large, on-going research programs and are important centres for the training of highly-qualified personnel. About half of Canadian botanical gardens and arboreta are based at universities, and many others are municipal not-for-profit organizations. In contrast, no Canadian zoos are based at universities, although several have formal links including cross-appointed staff and active graduate programs in many disciplines. A wide range of research is undertaken by, or at, these institutions that are actively involved in a broad spectrum of conservation programs, both in situ and ex situ. Projects and programs include veterinary science, husbandry or plant propagation, animal (and visitor) behaviour, ecology, habitat rehabilitation, taxonomy, systematics, physiology and phenology. Regardless of their size, these institutions make contributions to discoveries and innovations, and provide excellent collaborative opportunities for academia. Living collections also provide specimens and biological samples for a range of academic investigation, such as DNA analysis for comparative genetic purposes or reference, forensic evaluation, pathological reference, parasitology, studies in comparative anatomy or physiology, and genome banking. ...

This IDC study is the sixth edition of IDC Canada's popular annual guide to the Canadian telecommunications services sector.

New competitors continued to emerge and promise yet more upheaval in the C$36.6 billion-a-year Canadian communications landscape.

"Established telecom services providers are coming under siege," says Lawrence Surtees, vice president of Communications Research and principal analyst at IDC Canada Ltd. "As the lines between telecom and cable operators blurred in 2006, incumbent telecoms also face a prospective onslaught from the Googazon complex of global online search giants and stronger, consolidated hydro telecoms."

Product Description

This IDC study is the fifth edition of IDC Canada's annual guide to the Canadian telecommunications services sector. The Canadian C$34.4 billion telecommunications services sector, which recorded modest 3.6 per cent growth in 2005, continues to witness intensifying competition.

The emergence of Rogers Communications in a tie position as the second-largest player in the Canadian telecom market ranks as the biggest story in Canadian telecom in 2005.

Cable TV companies have also emerged as a powerful second force in the North American consumer telecom market with their own IP network infrastructure. "The explosive growth of cable telephony services propelled by greater-than-expected popularity in the first year of commercial service in Canada in 2005 ranks as one of the most significant developments in the telecom service sector in many years," states Lawrence Surtees, vice president of Communications Research and principal analyst at IDC Canada Ltd.

Product Description

This IDC study is the eighth edition of IDC Canada's annual guide to the Canadian telecommunications services sector. Designed to keep the reader abreast of strategic, structural, and technological changes affecting telecom markets in Canada, this study offers insight into each market segment by outlining key market trends and profiling major market participants and detailing their market share.

Technological change, structural upheaval, and consolidation are likely to remain permanent features of the Canadian telecommunications services landscape and to impact the competitive position of key players, according to this eighth edition of IDC Canada's popular annual guide to the C$39.6 billion Canadian telecommunications services sector.

"Despite the current Great Recession, new and well-healed players continue to enter the Canadian market," says Lawrence Surtees, vice president of Communications Research and principal analyst at IDC Canada Ltd. "And cable telephony not only continues to make substantial inroads in the home phone market, but cable operators are now the incumbents in most Canadian consumer markets at the same time as they are set to assault the small business market."

Faced with those dynamics, Canadian incumbent players must occupy their turf — especially in the burgeoning wireless segment — to remain viable and to succeed.

If Ezra Pound were on speed, this is the book he would write. Leznoff's work is gritty, urban and sensual, yet it is lyrical, funny and well-crafted. He has mastered a diversity of forms from concrete and language-based poetry to more traditional narrative work. Leznoff turns a trip to the supermarket into an epic adventure, while finding dark and touching insights into his characters on the side of a mountain in northern Quebec. His agility of writing style is only matched by the mastery of telling a good story. ... Read more

Happy Hollow; are you wondering where it is? Wherever Negroes colonise in the cities or villages, north or south, wherever the hod carrier, the porter, and the waiter are the society men of the town; wherever the picnic and the excursion are the chief summer diversion, and the revival the winter time of repentance, wherever the cheese cloth veil obtains at a wedding, and the little white hearse goes by with black mourners in the one carriage behind, there--there--is Happy Hollow. ...

Embracing the past
With characters ranging from preachers to con-artists, Paul
Lawrence Dunbar shows glimpses of the lives of African Americans
after the Civil War in a sleepy southern town called Happy Hollow.
Using the folksy language indicative of that era, along with mental
snapshots of our forgotten communities, he shares a historic
collection of perceptive tales filled with laughter, and saturated
with tears.

First published in 1904, THE HEART OF HAPPY HOLLOW features sixteen
engaging short stories. Dunbar peppers this collection withsome
colorful characters and a group of unique men and women who give
voice to these timeless themes. One story reminds readers of the
adage, the more things change, the more they stay the same. It is an
amusing story of a father and son who adamantly share different
views about life and religion. Does that not sound like today? And
on an opposing end of the pen there is a heart-wrenching story
about the lynching of Jube Benson.

As noted on the back cover, Dunbar's work has deservedly experienced a
recent revival among commercial and scholarly audiences. Paul Lawrence
Dunbar has written a captivating book which should give example to
the craft of storytelling. A step ahead of much of the literary world,
he gives readers nineteenth-century literature that is second to none.
To reacquaint yourself with post Civil War life, pick up a copy THE
HEART OF HAPPY HOLLOW, it is an excellent read. (RAW Rating: 4.5)
