Many people think that ethnocultural politics in Canada are spiraling out of control, with ever more groups making ever greater demands. This book offers a more balanced picture. We have learned important lessons about how to accommodate ethnocultural differences, from the integration of immigrants to the accommodation of Quebecois nationalism, and these lessons can help us tackle the major challenges still facing us.

Homogenization theory describes the macroscopic properties of structures with fine microstructure. Its applications are diverse and include optimal design and the study of composites. The theory relies on the asymptotic analysis of fast-oscillating differential equations or integral functionals. This book is an introduction to the homogenization of nonlinear integral functionals. It emphasizes general results that do not rely on smoothness or ...

Parchments of Gender builds up an important source of inter-disciplinary information for the study of gender and the body in history. The distinguished contributors pursue the central theme of the body's relation to gender, covering the ancient communities of Greece, Rome, and Judaea to argue that the body is culturally constructed and not a sign of what is natural. The essays further demonstrate the central role of antiquity in the developing...
