This is the first truly comprehensive and thorough history of the development of mathematics in the United States and Canada. This first volume of a two-volume work takes the reader from the European encounters with North America in the fifteenth century up to the emergence of the United States as a world leader in mathematics in the 1930s.\n\nIn the story of the Colonial period particular emphasis is given to several prominent Colonial figures--Jefferson, Franklin, and Rittenhouse-and four important early colleges-Quebec, Harvard, Yale, and William & Mary. During the first three-quarters of the nineteenth century, mathematics in North America was largely the occupation of scattered individual pioneers: Bowditch, Farrar, Adrain, B. Peirce. This period is given a fuller treatment here than previously in the literature, including the creation of the first PhD programs and attempts to form organizations and found journals.\n\nWith the founding of Johns Hopkins University in 1876, the American mathematical research community was finally, and firmly, founded. The programs at Hopkins, Chicago, and Clark are detailed as are the influence of major European mathematicians, including especially Klein, Hilbert, and Sylvester. Extensive histories of early areas of American emphasis are provided, including axiomatics, topology, and group theory. Also included are the early histories of statistics and cryptology in America, laying the foundation for the latter topic's role in abstract algebra in the 1950s. The stories of both the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America are presented in detail.\n\nDavid Zitarelli is emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Temple University. A decorated and acclaimed teacher, scholar, and expositor, he is one of the world's leading experts on the development of American mathematics. Author or co-author of over a dozen books, this is his magnum opus--sure to become the leading reference on the topic and essential reading, not just for historians. In clear and compelling prose, Zitarelli spins a tale accessible to experts, generalists, and anyone interested in the history of science in North America.

Lo stretto controllo della mondializzazione da parte dei monopoli generalizzati delle potenze imperialistiche (gli Stati Uniti e i loro alleati subalterni: Europa, Giappone, Canada e Australia) è perseguito attraverso il dispiegamento permanente di una geostrategia di controllo militare del pianeta. Una terza guerra mondiale non è inevitabile, ma ampiamente possibile. Si rafforza in vasti settori della classe dirigente Usa l'idea che solo con una superiorità militare schiacciante sul resto del mondo e con il ricorso a guerre locali e operazioni speciali destabilizzanti è possibile conservare il primato mondiale. Oggi, 22 dei 28 paesi della Ue, con oltre il 90% della popolazione dell'Unione, fanno parte della Nato. Non si può pensare di liberarci dai poteri rappresentati dalla Ue senza liberarci dal dominio e dall'influenza che gli Usa esercitano sull'Europa direttamente e tramite la Nato. I comunisti e il movimento antimperialista devono essere pienamente consapevoli della pericolosità assolutamente prevalente dell'imperialismo Usa nella preparazione della guerra, e agire di conseguenza per la costruzione di un vasto fronte di popoli e paesi contro il nemico principale.

In the spring of 1870 an Anglo-Canadian military force embarked on a 1,200 mile journey, half of which would be through the wilderness, bound for the Red River Settlement, the sight of present day Winnipeg. At the time the settlement was part of the vast Hudson's Bay Company controlled territories which Canada was in the process of purchasing.\n\nToday Canada is the second largest country in the world, but at the time it was a recent creation made up of three British North American colonies. The British government of the day, focussed on financial retrenchment and anchored on anti-imperialist values, would have happily severed its ties with its North American colonies. The dynamic American republic, resurgent after the cataclysm of the Civil War, aspired to take control of all of the British North American territories, including Canada and the Hudson's Bay Company lands. Canadian Prime Minister John A. Macdonald knew that for his new country to survive and prosper it would have to expand across the continent and incorporate the Hudson's Bay Company's lands, and ultimately the colony of British Columbia on the Pacific Ocean as well. The HBC was in decline and wanted to give up the responsibility for its vast territories. Macdonald would have preferred Britain to take on this responsibility until Canada was ready, but Westminster was unwilling. Ready or not, Canada would have to act or risk the United States getting in ahead of them.\n\nIn all of this, the interests of the indigenous people received scant consideration, and this included the residents of the Red River Settlement. The population here, about 14,000 strong, was mostly comprised of the descendants of the Kildonan Scots, farmers who had arrived under the auspices Lord Selkirk earlier in the century, the mixed race descendants of English speaking HBC workers and First Nations women, and the mixed race descendants of French speaking North West Company workers and First Nations women. The latter group, known as the Metis, had long before the time of Canada's pending takeover developed a distinct cultural identity, referring to themselves as \"A New Nation\".\n\nIn 1869 the Metis were nervous of the pending Canadian takeover. They feared their property rights, the most tenuous in the community, would not be respected. They also worried that their culture would be overwhelmed by an influx of English speaking settlers. Their concerns were reinforced when Canadian surveyors and road builders arrived in the community. The Canadians behaved exactly as the Metis had feared prompting the beginning of an opposition with demands for guarantees.\n\nThe man who rose to lead the Metis opposition was Louis Riel, and while his demands were just, during the winter of 1869/70, supported by the organized military power of the buffalo hunt, he rode roughshod over the views of the other communities in residence at Red River. These included not only the Kildonan Scots and English-speaking mixed race people,...

“Un piccolo, grande uomo”, venuto dal Canada e apparso quasi dal nulla nel mondo della Formula 1 degli anni Settanta, dove ha brillato da autentica stella sino a quel tragico pomeriggio di Zolder, l’8 maggio 1982. La parabola di Gilles Villeneuve nel “Circus” è stata dirompente e folgorante: nel volgere di pochi anni seppe conquistare le folle – con quella che, al tempo, fu chiamata “febbre Villeneuve” – oltre al cuore del Grande Vecchio, Enzo Ferrari, che a proposito di quel suo giovane pilota scrisse «È stato campione di combattività e ha regalato, ha aggiunto tanta notorietà alla Ferrari. Io gli volevo bene».

Winner of the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography 2016\n\nFrederick Hamiton-Temple-Blackwood, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava, enjoyed a glittering career which few could equal. As Viceroy of India and Governor-General of Canada, he held the two most exalted positions available under the Crown, but prior to this his achievements as a British ambassador included restoring order to sectarian conflict in Syria, helping to keep Canada British, paving the way for the annexation of Egypt and preventing war from breaking out on India's North-West Frontier.\n\nDufferin was much more than a diplomat and politician, however: he was a leading Irish landlord, an adventurer and a travel writer whose Letters from High Latitudes proved a publishing sensation. He also became a celebrity of the time, and in his attempts to sustain his reputation he became trapped by his own inventions, thereafter living his public life in fear of exposure. Ingenuity, ability and charm usually saved the day, yet in the end catastrophe struck in the form of the greatest City scandal for forty years and the death of his heir in the Boer War.\n\nWith unique access to the family archive at Clandeboye, Andrew Gailey presents a full biography of the figure once referred to as the 'most popular man in Europe'.

*#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER\n *Winner, Kobo Emerging Writer Prize Nonfiction\n *Winner, Indigenous Voices Awards\n *Winner, High Plains Book Awards\n *Finalist, CBC Canada Reads\n *A Globe and Mail Book of the Year\n *An Indigo Book of the Year\n *A CBC Best Canadian Nonfiction Book of the Year\n \nIn this extraordinary and inspiring debut memoir, Jesse Thistle, once a high school dropout and now a rising Indigenous scholar, chronicles his life on the streets and how he overcame trauma and addiction to discover the truth about who he is.\n\nIf I can just make it to the next minute...then I might have a chance to live; I might have a chance to be something more than just a struggling crackhead.\n \n From the Ashes is a remarkable memoir about hope and resilience, and a revelatory look into the life of a Metis-Cree man who refused to give up.\n \n Abandoned by his parents as a toddler, Jesse Thistle briefly found himself in the foster-care system with his two brothers, cut off from all they had known. Eventually the children landed in the home of their paternal grandparents, whose tough-love attitudes quickly resulted in conflicts. Throughout it all, the ghost of Jesse's drug-addicted father haunted the halls of the house and the memories of every family member. Struggling with all that had happened, Jesse succumbed to a self-destructive cycle of drug and alcohol addiction and petty crime, spending more than a decade on and off the streets, often homeless. Finally, he realized he would die unless he turned his life around.\n \n In this heartwarming and heart-wrenching memoir, Jesse Thistle writes honestly and fearlessly about his painful past, the abuse he endured, and how he uncovered the truth about his parents. Through sheer perseverance and education-and newfound love-he found his way back into the circle of his Indigenous culture and family.\n \n An eloquent exploration of the impact of prejudice and racism, From the Ashes is, in the end, about how love and support can help us find happiness despite the odds.
