  • The Crime Fiction Canada Project
    Belphégor Jeannette Sloniowski and Marilyn Rose The Crime Fiction Canada Project How did this project begin? You might say that it was simple good luck - provided that it is assumed that collecting titles for never-finished, never-ending "webliographies" is a piece of good luck! The two of us, Jeannette Sloniowski and Marilyn Rose, are professors in Canada's one and only Graduate Program in Popular Culture at Brock University, and we are both long time readers of detective fiction of all kinds. When Brock's Graduate Program in Popular Culture (the only one in Canada) was created in 2000, we decided to teach a course together on Crime, Mystery and Detective Fiction, Film and Television that would combine both of our scholarly interests. As members of the English Department (Marilyn), and the Communications, Popular Culture and Film Department (Jeannette), we sat down to design a course that would look at Detective Fiction in its various forms, from print to film and television, and beyond (anyone for hypertext?). Just as we had begun to plan the course a letter arrived at Brock from notable Toronto literary historian, David Skene-Melvin, asking if our library would like to have his very large collection of books about Crime, Mystery and Detective Fiction. He had discovered our announcement of our new Graduate Program on Brock University's webpages, and was pleased to have located a site where his collection might be kept together and put to good use. Delighted by our good fortune and by a very co-operative university library, which has agreed to work towards the creation of a comprehensive collection of Canadian detective fiction, we eagerly agreed to accept the books.

  • Airships to the Arctic Iii
    1 AIRSHIPS TO THE ARCTIC III Sustainable Northern Transportation PROCEEDINGS Held in Winnipeg, MB May 31 – June 2, 2005 Edited By: Dr. Barry E. Prentice Sharon Cohen Douglas B. Duncan ISBN Number 1-894218-39-6 Transport Institute, University of Manitoba www.umti.ca 2 DEDICATED TO NORMAN J. MAYER, AIRSHIP ENGINEER Knowledge is the key intangible input in the production of all goods and services. For the airship industry the intangible is the accumulated body of aeronautical engineering knowledge. The unofficial Dean of Airship Engineering in North America is Norman J. Mayer. His professional career in the airship industry spans 60 years of service to the private sector and government. Norman Mayer began his employment with the Goodyear Zeppelin Company in airship design, research and flight test. He also served within government as a lighter-than-air specialist in the U.S. Navy and in NASA in advanced space structures and materials. In recent years Norman Mayer has served as a consultant contributing his knowledge to all the major airship companies. His long career provides a link between the achievements of a prior generation of airship builders and the new wave of professional engineers that hope to create airships that can be used to provide sustainable transportation for the Canadian North. As a representative of his profession and all the scientists and inventors that have contributed to the development of airship technology, the proceedings of Airships to the Arctic III are dedicated to Norman J. Mayer. i Foreword The Airships to the Arctic Symposia were created to provide a forum for the discussion of the supply of a new generation of airships and the demand for their services in northern and Arctic regions.

  • Selected Canadian Mysteries, by Author
    Selected Canadian Mysteries, by Author As recommended by Kathleen Fraser for Learning Unlimited, January 2019 Cathy Ace: Welsh-born Canadian author of the Cate Morgan and WISE Women cozies, fun series set in Wales. Grant Allen: Born in Kingston, Ontario, author of An African Millionaire: Episodes in the Life of the Illustrious Colonel Clay (1897). Colonel Clay was a scoundrel and adventurer – and Allen almost equally scandalous. Thought the first Canadian to seriously attempt crime writing professionally. Arthur Conan Doyle completed his last novel. Lou Allin: The Belle Palmer series in Northern Ontario; Holly Martin (RCMP) series on Vancouver Island. Toni Anderson: “Smart, sexy thrillers with happily ever after.” Haven’t read this, but it was recommended to me. Hubert Aquin: In Prochaine Episode / Next Episode (1965), the narrator, like Aquin himself, turns his adventures into a spy thriller while awaiting trial for an unnamed crime, locked up in the psychiatric ward of a Montreal prison. Kelley Armstrong: The Rockton thrillers, starting with City of the Lost, are probably Armstrong’s most conventional novels, in that they contain no demons or werewolves, but they are by no means ordinary. Rockton is a tiny town hidden in the Yukon, where people like ex-cop Casey Duncan go to escape their pasts. Enthralling. Carolyn Arnold: Author of four very different series, including Brandon Fisher FBI, set in the US. Catherine Astolfo: Series featuring Emily Taylor, small-town Ontario school principal. Margaret Atwood: Yes, most of her novels have a mystery at the core. Not that she always resolves the mystery, however. Take Alias Grace, for example.
