Short Description: This textbook introduces aspects of the history of Canada since Confederation. “Canada” in this context includes Newfoundland and all the other parts that come to be aggregated into the Dominion after 1867. Much of this text follows thematic lines. Each chapter moves chronologically but with alternative narratives in mind. What Aboriginal accounts must we place in the foreground? Which structures (economic or social) determine the range of choices available to human agents of history? What environmental questions need to be raised to gain a more complete understanding of choices made in the past and their ramifications?

Which structures (economic or social) determine the range of choices available to human agents of history? What environmental questions need to be raised to gain a more complete understanding of choices made in the past and their ramifications?
Each chapter is comprised of several sections and some of those are further divided. In many instances you will encounter original material that has been contributed by other university historians from across Canada who are leaders in their respective fields. They provide a diversity of voices on the subject of the nation’s history and, thus, an opportunity to experience some of the complexities of understanding and approaching the past. Canadian History: Post-Confederation includes Learning Objectives and Key Points in most chapter sections, intended to help identify issues of over-arching importance. Recent interviews with historians from across Canada have been captured in video clips that are embedded throughout the web version of the book. At the end of each chapter, the Summary section includes additional features: Key Terms, Short Answer Exercises, and Suggested Readings. The key terms are bolded in the text, and collected in a Glossary in the appendix.

Canadian History: Pre-Confederation is a survey text that introduces undergraduate students to important themes in North American history to 1867.

Long Description: Canadian History: Pre-Confederation is a survey text that introduces undergraduate students to important themes in North American history to 1867. It provides room for Aboriginal and European agendas and narratives, explores the connections between the territory that coalesces into the shape of modern Canada and the larger continent and world in which it operates, and engages with emergent issues in the field. The material is pursued in a largely chronological manner to the early 19th century, at which point social, economic, and political change are dissected. Canadian History: Pre-Confederation provides, as well, a reconnaissance of historical methodology and debates in the field, exercises for students, Key Terms and a Glossary, and section-by-section Key Points. Although this text can be modified, expanded, reduced, and reorganized to suit the needs of the instructor, it is organized so as to support learning, to broaden (and sometimes provoke) debate, and to engage students in thinking like historians. Written and reviewed by subject experts drawn from colleges and universities, this is the first open textbook on the topic of Canadian history.

Short Description: The eight chapters of this book encapsulate the past, present, and future of Canadian immigration and settlement. The topics, in part, cover the history of immigration to Canada through an objective lens that allows readers to learn what transpired with the settlement of specific ethnic groups, as well as address Canada’s current policies and approaches to immigration. This leads to an exploration of the challenges that newcomers to Canada and the settlement sector are encountering today. Readers and learners of settlement studies will embark on a journey of self-reflection throughout this book as they engage in many activities, quizzes, and interactions which may be self-directed or instructor led.
Long Description: The OER textbook is an introduction to key issues in the settlement sector rather than a comprehensive exploration of this dynamic and multifaceted field. Maria MacMinn Varvos situates the history of settlement services in Canada, including a look at delivery models and perspectives. She also explores the relationship between literacy levels of women and its affect on their settlement. Alexandru Caldararu introduces and situates social justice and anti-oppressive practice in settlement worker practice. He also presents a detailed discussion on climate migration and its implications on settlement. Christina Hamer presents types of migration-related trauma and the mental health challenges many newcomers face before arriving in Canada. Rennais Gayle discusses the settlement experiences of older arriving immigrants, particularly focusing on family dynamics. In her chapter, Julie Clements provides an overview of how settlement workers can effectively navigate intercultural communication contexts. Lynn Sutankayo delves deeply into how related concepts in settlement act as a conduit towards further understanding of issues in gender, sexuality, and culture. While the textbook chapters can be read in the order presented, each chapter presents a unique issue and can also be enjoyed in non-sequential order.

Ce chapitre couvre les situations où les racines lombaires (dites de la …
Ce chapitre couvre les situations où les racines lombaires (dites de la queue de cheval) sont mises à l’étroit dans le canal médullaire. Il s’agit de toutes les situations, en grande majorité dégénératives et chroniques, où il existe une compression extrinsèque du sac dural et des racines qu’il contient. Cette compression est dynamique ou statique, caractérisée par un effacement des espaces sous-arachnoïdiens et une disparition du liquide céphalo-rachidien (LCR) qui entoure et protège naturellement les racines. On parle alors de canal lombaire étroit (synonyme de sténose du canal médullaire lombaire, angl. : Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, LSS). Le canal lombaire étroit est parfois associé à un spondylolisthésis dégénératif qui fait l’objet d’un chapitre à part car la prise en charge est particulière. Les compressions liées à une pathologie tumorale extradurale (métastase, myélome, etc.), à un abcès péridural ou à des fractures sont couvertes dans d’autres chapitres. Les lésions liées à un processus tumoral intrathécal (dans le sac dural) ne sont pas couvertes. Le processus de dégénérescence de la colonne peut s’exprimer de façon relativement aiguë quand il est provoqué par une hernie discale ou un kyste arthrosynovial intracanalaire. Les sténoses congénitales ou constitutionnelles, et les rétrécissements causés par la lipomatose péridurale sont des variantes relativement rares, simplement évoquées dans ce chapitre.
