TITLE

VICE- PROVOST & CHIEF LIBRARIAN’ S MESSAGE

Celebrating its fortieth anniversary in 2009, the University of Alberta Press (UAP) is the oldest of the prairie-based university presses, and one of a handful of university presses in . My heartfelt congratulations go to UAP staff, past and present, for establishing an award-winning tradition of contributing to the enrichment and enjoyment of readers around the world.

2 As Vice-Provost responsible for a portfolio that includes the University’s libraries and the University of Alberta Press, I am afforded a unique perspective on the enduring life cycle of books. As readers, we are not privy to the many months and stages of concerted labour needed to turn an author’s hard work into a book. Not only is UAP expert in fostering a manuscript’s gestation towards traditional publication, they continue to invest in developing tools for digital publishing in a spirit of innovation and leadership consistent with our strategic plan.

One of the most exciting benefi ts of this technology is the ease with which information can be TITLES shared with our global community. In addition to being fully compliant with leading standards and practices, UAP is contributing to Google Book Search and Amazon’s Search Inside the Book In Bed with the Word | 3 tools. Director Linda Cameron’s commitment to make books available in both print and digital form has led to a steady rise in new readership gained from non-traditional sources. As Jane Austen Sings the Blues | 5 well, careful evaluation of online publishing has led the Press to experiment with alternative The Meteorites of Alberta | 6 business models. In 2005, UAP published Atlas of Alberta Railways online. In 2008, UAP Retiring the Crow Rate | 5 co-published One Step Over the Line and The Importance of Being Monogamous with AU Press, a wholly open access publisher; while UAP produced print editions for sale, AU Press provided Sonic Mosaics | 4 online renditions for free. When Edmonton Was Young | 6 As newer methods of digital publishing are developed, the UAP will take a leading role in adopting those which best serve its authors and readers. I look forward to witnessing more University of Alberta Press accomplishments in the coming years and continuing our forty year award-winning tradition.

In Bed with the Word DANIEL COLEMAN

While reading is a deeply personal activity, paradoxically, it is also fundamentally social and outward-looking. Daniel Coleman, a lifelong reader and professor of literature, combines story with meditation to reveal this paradox and illustrate why, more than ever, we need this special brand of “quiet time” in our lives. In Bed with the Word sparks with every conceivable enticement for those who worry about living in a culture of distraction and who long to reconnect with something deeper.

DanielDaniel CoColemanleman was bbornorn anandd raiseraisedd in EtEthiopiahiopia anandd came to CanaCanadada to go to college. AAfterfter BEd and MA degrees ffromrom the University ooff Regina, and a PhD ffromrom the University ooff Alberta, he went on to teach Canadian and Diasporic literatures in the Department ooff English at McMaster University.

BRIAN TITLEY SOON

Between 1873 and 1932, Indian policy on the prairies was the responsibility of federal government appointees known as Indian Commissioners. Charged with ! incorporating Native society into the apparatus of the emergent state, these offi cials directed a complex confi guration of measures that included treaties, the Indian Act, schools, agriculture, and to some degree, missionary activity. In this study, Brian Titley constructs critical biographical portraits of the six Indian Commissioners, examining their successes and failures in confronting the challenges of a remarkable period in Canada’s history.

A native of Cork, Ireland, Brian Titley is a professor and University Scholar with the Faculty of Education at the University of Lethbridge. He is the author of fi ve books and over forty articles on many topics pertaining to education, history, and politics in Canada, Europe, and Africa.

Heavy Burdens on Small Shoulders The Labour of Pioneer Children on the Canadian Prairies SANDRA ROLLINGS-MAGNUSSON

The phrase “child labour” carries negative undertones in today’s society. However, only a century ago on the Canadian Prairies, youngsters laboured alongside their parents—working the land, cleaning stovepipes, and chopping wood. By shouldering their share of the chores, these children learned the domestic and manual labour skills needed for life on a Prairie family farm. Rollings-Magnusson uses historic research, photographs, and personal anecdotes to describe the kinds of work performed by children and how each task fi t into the family economy. This book is a vital contribution to western Canadian history as well as family and gender studies.

Sandra Rollings-Magnusson teaches sociology at MacEwan College. Her research interests include political economy, sociology of the family, social policy, and gender and ethnic studies. She is currently researching the economic, political, and social lives of pioneer families on the western prairies. Rollings-
