Making Change

Fifty Years of the Laidlaw Foundation

By: Sheila H. Kieran,Laidlaw Foundation

The Laidlaw Foundation was established in 1949 by Walter and Robert Laidlaw, sons of the founder of the R. Laidlaw Lumber Company. This book is a history of the Laidlaw family, how it amassed money, and why the brothers decided to disperse it as they did. Making Change is also a record of the work of the foundation over the past 50 years. The impact has been to help children in need, to train scholars, and to support social, cultural, and environmental causes. Overall, this book seeks to identify what motivates people to act philanthropically and the implications of their doing so. It is interesting to understand what persuades wealthy people to give away their money and provide leadership in areas where government stewardship is lacking.

Protecting the Empire's Humanity

Thomas Hodgkin and British Colonial Activism 1830–1870

By: Zoë Laidlaw

Laidlaw lays bare the contradictions of mid-nineteenth-century imperial Britain. Missionaries, scientists and imperial officials all claimed an interest in 'protecting' and 'civilizing' indigenous peoples, but this study of Quaker activist Thomas Hodgkin and the Aborigines' Protection Society reveals the fatal flaws in imperial 'humanitarianism'.

Blue Bel Air

By: Brett Laidlaw

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Blue Bel Air

By: Brett Laidlaw

In sensual, dazzling language that ranges from lyrical heights to low comedy, Blue Bel Air leaps from the halls of science to urban blight, from fine dining to rummage sales, from thoughts of mass murder at a family picnic to a bacchanal on the shores of Lake Superior, from metaphysics to the dark cave of unreason and the insoluble ties of blood. Omnia vincit amor: Love conquers all. Does it? Omnia amans amens, this much seems sure: All lovers are demented. Sylvia Stenmark is a brilliant, troubled young woman whose accomplishments cannot compensate for a splintered family past and present. She works in the catacombs of a university laboratory complex, friend and executioner to radioactive mice. Bryce Fraser is a reporter who doesn't believe in facts. His past is haunted by the suicide of his father ("a full professor, a poet of small renown") seven years earlier. Carla, a cook, is Bryce's friend and Sylvia's high school classmate. When Sylvia unexpectedly resurfaces in Carla's life, and at the same time enters Bryce's life in a very different way, the forces of coincidence and fascination draw them together into a shifting triangle which will try the powers of friendship, loyalty, and love. On his first, odd date with Sylvia, Bryce comes away with Sylvia's grandmother's car, a 1962 Bel Air, and his fate becomes enmeshed for a time in the car's vintage machinery and in his own embrace of coincidence and the intuitive life that he strives to lead. The Blue Bel Air is a vehicle in many senses, a vehicle that Bryce can't quite seem to steer. Blue Bel Air is a novel that illuminates character with precision, humor, and brilliance. It ponders motive while refusing easy psychology, temperingrationality with the mysterious workings of what Bryce calls "the secret desire". It encompasses a richly textured world of love and betrayal, reason and imagination, heartbreak and joy.

The Voice inside My Head

By: S.J. Laidlaw

A fast-paced mystery, The Voice inside My Head is expected to be a commercial success and a hit with teens. Seventeen-year-old Luke's older sister, Pat, has always been his moral compass, like a voice inside his head, every time he has a decision to make. So when Pat disappears on a tiny island off the coast of Honduras and the authorities claim she's drowned - despite the fact that they can't produce a body - Luke heads to Honduras to find her because he knows something the authorities don't. From the moment of her disappearance, Pat's voice has become real, guiding him to Utila, where she had accepted a summer internship to study whale sharks. Once there, he meets several characters who describe his sister as a very different girl from the one knows. Does someone have a motive for wanting her dead? Determined to get to the bottom of Pat's disappearance, Luke risks everything, including his own life, to find the answer.

The British in the Levant

Trade and Perceptions of the Ottoman Empire in the Eighteenth Century

By: Christine Laidlaw

For more than two centuries following its formation in 1581, the Levant Company enjoyed a monopoly of British trade with the Ottoman Empire and provided Britain's diplomatic representation at the Sultan's court and throughout the Ottoman territories. Rather than focusing on 'the Turkey trade' itself, or on the merchants who engaged in it, Christine Laidlaw examines the supporting cast of Britons - officials, clergymen, physicians and accompanying family members - who lived and worked alongside the merchants at the Company's three principal trading posts at Istanbul, Izmir and Aleppo during the eighteenth century. This unique perspective will be invaluable for historians of the eighteenth century and the Ottoman Empire.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with Older People

By: Ken Laidlaw,Larry W. Thompson,Dolores Gallagher-Thompson,Leah Dick-Siskin

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is now well established as an effective treatment for a range of mental health problems, but for clinicians working with older clients, there are particular issues that need to be addressed. Topics covered include the need to build a therapeutic relationship, dealing with stereotypical thinking about ageing, setting realistic expectations in the face of deteriorating medical conditions, maintaining hope when faced with difficult life events such as the loss of a spouse, disability, etc., and dealing with the therapist's own fears about ageing. Illustrated throughout with case studies, practical solutions and with a troubleshooting section, this is essential reading for all clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and related health professionals who work with older people. * Authors are world authorities on depression and psychotherapy with older people * First book to be published on CBT with older people * Case studies and examples used throughout to illustrate the method and the problems of older people

On Wadi Wadi Country – From the Mountains to the Sea

By: Helen Laidlaw

Australia is a large continent and before British colonisation there were over 250 First Nation areas with different languages and cultures. The Wadi Wadi nation lived on an eastern coastal region south of Sydney, which was covered with thick subtropical rainforest and bordered by the Pacific Ocean which provided fish and shellfish in abundance. With its rich volcanic soil, it was one of the first areas to be taken by colonising farmers. The land was cleared and the food, culture and Dharawal language were all almost wiped out. Many First Nations people died from massacres, hunger, and European diseases. This story began in a deep valley ‘Willow Gully’ with remnant rare subtropical rainforest, inhabited by wallabies, echidnas, possums and hundreds of birds in a small coastal town called Kiama. The gully was settled in the 1840s by two British farming families, and in 2015 the remains of a small farm cottage was unearthed in the rainforest. By coincidence the Aboriginal family who lived there in the 20th century were discovered and they have shared their personal stories. This has provided links to the amazing history of the Wadi Wadi people all along the coast. Through this book find their stories, but also meet an Indigenous King and Queen, WW1 soldiers, a poet, fishermen, sports stars, and silent film makers. Many people have hidden their Aboriginal heritage as racism was rife. The 50,000 years of continuous indigenous heritage is at last being recognised. However, a referendum to recognise Aboriginal people in the constitution, held in October 2023, failed due to misinformation by opponents. But there is still hope!

Almost twenty years ago, when the original edition of this book was written by John Frame, issues such as efficiency in the use of nutrients in manures, grassland biodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions from ruminant production were either nascent, or of no relevance to mainstream grassland farming. The intervening two decades have seen the introduction of water and, latterly, air quality directives by the EU, cross compliance, the single farm payment, and an ever-increasing need for grassland farmers to be conscious of the economics of their business. The present edition, which has been thoroughly revised by Scott Laidlaw, covers the full scope of modern grassland management. Accordingly the application of technical developments in supplying and utilizing grass and forage, which remain central to grassland management, is presented in the context of these changes.Topics covered include: breeding and evaluation of new varieties of grass to meet current needs; new technology in establishing swards; legislative constraints, background science and practice in determining forage quality and the utilization of forage either for grazing or silage; feed budgeting, grassland biodiversity, grassland and climate change, and transferring knowledge and technology; wide-ranging list of sources and references, which provides the reader with further detailed information. Essential reading for all those involved in modern grassland management including grassland farmers, agricultural consultants and advisory officers, as well as agricultural, land use and biology students. Written in a reader-friendly advisory style, it can be read and understood without an in-depth technical or scientific background. Fully illustrated with 61 colour photographs.
