Turning Back the Pages

100 Years at the Saskatoon Public Library

By: Ruth W. Millar

Saskatoon Public Library’s history is suffused with drama. Floods, fires, boardroom battles, clashes with City Hall, strikes,bold art robberies, outraged and belligerent patrons, pilfering and mutilation of materials, stalkers and flashers, animals at large on the premises, theft of computer equipment, and a covered-up dispute that sent its chief librarian fleeing into obscurity – all appear in these pages. Set these stormy incidents against a historical matrix of two world wars, a major Depression, world-wide epidemics, and a revolution in technology, and the colourful pageantry of the Saskatoon Library history emerges.But mostly the Library quietly hummed along – efficient, orderly and welcoming. It has been a symbol of public service, a haven for troubled souls, an escape for the bored, as well as a treasure house for information seekers. As an institution, the SPL has had a remarkably progressive history of service and compassion – even missionary zeal – reaching out to the disabled, the illiterate, the poor, “New Canadians” and Aboriginal folk.

Criminology

By: Adler Ruth,Freda A. Adler,Gerhard O. W. Mueller,William S. Laufer

This leading text for courses in Criminology is known for its lucid style, student-oriented approach, and its interdisciplinary global perspective. The Fourth Edition further underscores this unique student-centered approach by making a free student study CD ("Making the Grade") available with every copy of the text. A robust Online Learning Center featuring chapter quizzes with feedback, vocabulary flashcards, interactive exercises, and more is also available. The Adler text comes in two versions, one with, and the other without coverage of the criminal justice system. For schools that retain the traditional criminology course, which includes criminological coverage of criminal justice, "Criminology and the Criminal Justice System, Fifth Edition," is the ideal text. For schools that offer a separate introductory course in criminal justice, "Criminology, Fifth Edition" is the appropriate text.

Saskatoon

A History in Photographs

By: Jeff O'Brien,Ruth Millar,William P. Delainey

This coffee-table pictorial history, in its new paperback edition, celebrates the people, events, and edifices that highlight the city's history. To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the incorporation of the city, Saskatoon: A History in Photographsdocuments the growth and the successes of the Hub City and its people in the 20th Century. A dozen chapters, written in an accessible, popular style, each contain a written summary of a particular period in the city's development. However, as the titles suggests, the book is primarily pictorial - numerous photographs illustrate significant buildings and street scenes, and people engaged in social, political and cultural activities. In addition to fostering interest in the history of Saskatoon, and providing an attractive memento of the city's centennial, Saskatoon: A History in Photographsprovides a useful update and companion volume to the long-out-of-print Saskatoon: A Century in Pictures, which was published in 1982. The new book showcases the city's recent history, and the new images that have become available to researchers since the original publication.
