Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Hydro-Québec," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Hydro-Québec in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Hydro-Québec when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Hydro-Québec, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

From the author: Au Quebec, plusieurs groupes d'acteurs travaillent a structurer un projet d'avenir pour le monde rural La question identitaire traverse leurs reflexions. Le rapport au territoire est concu comme un trait specifique de l'identite rurale contemporaine. Par ailleurs, le paysage offre un cadre de reference pertinent a l'analyse de cette identite faconnee par les acteurs. Cela suppose que, d'un point de vue theorique, le paysage soit envisage selon une approche constructiviste, qui va au-dela des formes visibles pour englober aussi les references aux pratiques territoriales et les intentions des acteurs sociaux, de meme que des dimensions immaterielles, telles les representations et l'affectivite. En d'autres mots, le paysage est ici defini comme un construit social. En confrontant ce cadre de reference a une enquete realisee dans un village d'une region du Quebec, nous avons constate que les acteurs locaux lisent le paysage a partir de criteres endogenes, c'est-a-dire propres a leur vecu territorial. Pour ces acteurs, le paysage agit a la fois comme agent de mediation et de communication de meme qu'il participe a la construction de l'etre-ensemble.

Description:
Public opinion polls from before and after 2001 in Quebec (Canada) reveal a marked shift during that year in attitudes about the US. Quebecois opinions of the US fell to the least favorable rating they had had in 15 years. A ''fair weather friend'' phenomenon based on fear of association with a target state does not fully explain Quebec's reaction. Consideration of Quebec's historical geographical situation as a small nation without a sovereign state suggests deeper reasons for the shift in perspective, which are confirmed by quantitative and qualitative analysis of letters to the editor of daily newspapers. Quebecois letters about the attacks of September 11 were inclined to frame these attacks in terms of a battle between a large and powerful state and various small and weak nations, and subsequently to find common cause with the small nations. This particular framing of the 9-11 events according to a ''small-nation'' code reflected fundamental elements of the historical-geographical situation of Quebec as constructed in Quebecois discourses. The activation of a set of key associations from the national past to understand international relations in the present is an example of what Gertjan Dijkink calls the ''national reflex''. The activation of the reflex by an attack on the US points out how a hegemonic state can be vulnerable, paradoxically, as a result of its own supremacy. ... Read more

From the author: La region agroforestiere du Haut-St-Laurent, dans le sud-ouest du Quebec, au Canada, sert de laboratoire depuis plusieurs annees a une equipe de recherche multidisciplinaire afin de comprendre le jeu des acteurs et des processus affectant l'espace rural du Sud du Quebec. S'inscrivant dans la lignee de ces travaux, cette etude a ete entreprise afin d'analyser un aspect important mais neglige jusqu'a maintenant, celui de la fluctuation de la valeur des terres en relation avec la geomorphologie et l'utilisation du sol, durant la periode 1958-1997. Une base de donnees geo-referencees a ete creee dans un systeme d'information geographique (SIG) oriente-objet composee des donnees provenant des ventes associees aux parcelles composant la region d'etude, des cartes cadastrales, de cartes d'utilisation du sol et d'une carte geomorphologique. Ces donnees ont ete analysees et triees par le biais de requetes formulees a la base de donnees. Une analyse statistique multivariee a ete realisee pour analyser la relation entre le prix de vente, la geomorphologie et indirectement l'utilisation du sol pour l'ensemble de la periode d'etude et pour chaque decennie. Les resultats montrent que les terres ont connu une hausse de leur valeur a differents moments dans le temps, selon leur type geomorphologique. Cette relation peut etre expliquee par les phases importantes de transformation qui ont affecte le Sud du Quebec durant la deuxieme moitie du XXieme siecle.

Product Description
Seen through the lens of photographer Yves Marcoux, Montréal is a city a thousand radiant vistas. It’s where the charm of exterior staircases and vibrant-coloured cornices in paired with the lyricism of skyscrapers; where stone lacework and élaborate pediments complement the stark élegance of modern façades. It’s Montréal, city of history, wearing its past proudly in its streets and squares and at every crossroad. It’s a city worthy of Montrealers — vibrant, eclectic, cosmopolitan, boasting tranquil neighbourhoods and bustling markets, cafés and terraces, tree-lined streets. ... Read more
