A history of the pottery industry in Alberta, which began around the turn of the century in Medicine Hat, where clay deposits and natural gas were abundant. This is a dramatic story of temperamental entrepreneurs who were fierce rivals and who had fires, world wars, a depression, high freight rates and cheap imports to contend with.
From its humble beginnings at the University of Alberta to today's world-wide audience over the Internet, CKUA has been a leader in public radio. It has been a training ground for Albertan and Canadian talent, and a platform for important ideas. Throughout its seventy-five-year history, Canada's oldest public broadcaster has been one of Alberta's leading cultural institutions. CKUA: Radio Worth Fighting For presents much more than the story of the little radio station that could. Marylu Walters has captured the political and cultural context of the times: the pioneering spirit that brought the station to life, the creativity that emerged from benign neglect and the passionate battles that maintained the station in the face of adversity. Packed with human stories told by the people who lived them, CKUA: Radio Worth Fighting For is an essential book for CKUA devotees across Alberta and around the world. If you haven't yet become a CKUA convert, this book is sure to hook you.
