rfmcdonaldWell, the first day back to school went well.
For my HIST 312 project, I've decided to do Campbell and MacLean's Beyond the Atlantic Roar (on the immigration of Scots to eastern Nova Scotia and subsequent developments) and Harris' The Resettlement of British Columbia (on the post-Confederation repopulation of British Columbia). I'll examine them from the standpoint of the perspective of historical sociology, examining the influences of that school upon the two books. It'll help that both are about immigration into virgin-land territories; the comparison will be that much easier.
I was also lucky enough to find a book that I thought I'd lost--The Czechoslovak Republic: a survey of its history and geography, its political and cultural organisation, and its economic resources, compiled by Jaroslav Cisar and F. Pokorny--last September. I got back the 50 dollars that I had to pay the Robertson Library by way of compensation.
Now, to work!
