Uptalk

The Phenomenon of Rising Intonation

By: Paul Warren

Uptalk' is commonly used to refer to rising intonation at the end of declarative sentences, or (to put it more simply) the tendency for people to make statements that sound like questions, a phenomenon that has received wide exposure and commentary in the media. How and where did it originate? Who are the most frequent 'uptalkers'? How much does it vary according to the speaker's age, gender and regional dialect? Is it found in other languages as well as English? These and other questions are the subject of this fascinating book. The first comprehensive analysis of 'uptalk', it examines its historical origins, geographical spread and social influences. Paul Warren also looks at the media's coverage of the phenomenon, including the tension between the public's perception and the views of experts. Uptalk will be welcomed by those working in linguistics, as well as anyone interested in the way we talk today.

Gastronomy, Tourism and the Media

By: Warwick Frost,Jennifer Laing,Gary Best,Kim Williams,Paul Strickland,Clare Lade

This book examines and analyses the connections between gastronomy, tourism and the media. It argues that in the modern world, gastronomy is increasingly a major component and driver of tourism and that destinations are using their cuisines and food cultures in marketing to increase their competitive advantage. It proposes that these processes are interconnected with film, television, print and social media. The book emphasises the notion of gastronomy as a dynamic concept, in particular how it has recently become more widely used and understood throughout the world. The volume introduces core concepts and delves more deeply into current trends in gastronomy, the forces which shape them and their implications for tourism. The book is multidisciplinary and will appeal to researchers in the fields of gastronomy, hospitality, tourism and media studies.

Northern Tigers

Building Ethical Canadian Corporate Champions

By: Dick Haskayne

Northern Tigers: Building Ethical Canadian Corporate Champions is both a memoir by one of the most broadly experienced executives in Canadian business history and a personal manifesto from one of our most outspoken corporate leaders on the issues of business ethics and private philanthropy. Northern Tigers makes a compelling case for building great Canadian-run corporations that can compete in the international arena. But, he argues eloquently, they must be "great" not only in size and strength but also in their high ethical standards, good corporate governance, and in their open-hearted support of their communities in which they operate. In this book, co-written with veteran business author Paul Grescoe, Dick Haskayne filters all of his hard-won wisdom through the lens of his impressive life's work.

Northern Tigers

Building Ethical Canadian Corporate Champions

By: Richard F. Haskayne,Paul Grescoe

Northern Tigers: Building Ethical Canadian Corporate Champions is both a fascinating memoir by one of the most successful executives in North American business history, and a personal manifesto from an outspoken corporate leader on the issues of business ethics and private philanthropy. In a book brimming with behind-the-scenes intrigue and insights, the man whose name now graces the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary, discusses his life and career'from his Depression-era roots as a butcher's son in whistle-stop Gleichen, Alberta'to his top-of-the-ladder success as head of nine major Canadian companies, including Home Oil, TransCanada Pipelines, MacMillan Bloedel, and Fording Inc. As he chronicles his long career with revealing, richly anecdotal detail, Haskayne addresses a vital and timely theme: the need to create companies that are true domestic Tigers'enterprises firmly based in Canada and strong and quick-witted enough to withstand predatory takeovers by foreign corporations. Haskayne has written first-hand the fortitude and the foibles of many of the most sensational and colourful characters in Canadian corporate circles, entrepreneurs and businessmen such as the Reichmann brothers (international developers, Hiram Walker, Gulf Canada), 'Smilin'' Jack Gallagher (the lord of Dome Petroleum), Harley Hotchkiss (oilman, Calgary Flames co-owner, NHL chairman), and Gwyn Morgan (EnCana founder). Among many successes, he helped guide some of Canada's largest-ever mergers, including Fording Coal/Sherritt International, NOVA/TransCanada, and PanCanadian Energy/Alberta Energy, which gave birth to EnCana. But there were many obstacles along the way, too. Haskayne is bluntly forthcoming and regretful about the ones that got away'like the American takeover of the venerable lumber giant MacMillan Bloedel Ltd. and the painful death of the legendary Hudson's Bay Oil and Gas Company. In Northern Tigers 'co-written with veteran business author Paul Grescoe'Dick Haskayne filters all of his hard-earned wisdom through the lens of his impressive life's work for an unforgettable portrait of an extraordinary era in Canadian corporate history.

Hat Trick

A Life in the Hockey Rink, Oil Patch and Community

By: Harley Hotchkiss,Paul Grescoe

In 2005 during the National Hockey League’s year-long lockout of North American teams, Calgary Flames’ co-founder Harley Hotchkiss - chair of the league - met alone with Trevor Linden, president of the NHL Players’ Association. The wisdom and honesty of the team owner, many decades older, helped influence the popular young centre to convince fellow players to settle the dispute. Harley has had that remarkable effect on people throughout his astonishing career in sports, business, and the community - a hat trick fulfilling his three goals in life. His absorbing memoir is an insider’s guide to the development of North American hockey; the growth of the Canadian oil and gas industry witnessed by one of its most influential and individualistic entrepreneurs; and the behind-the-scenes story of enlightened philanthropy. Along the way, the Ontario tobacco-farmer’s son tells of doing deals with the legendary Boone Pickens, going on safari with Swedish royalty, and becoming a partner with the mysterious Baron Carlo von Maffei.
