DOWNLOAD EBOOKPatrick Watson, much to his surprise, found himself hosting a CBC television series at the age of 26. Within weeks he had abandoned both his doctoral studies and a promising career in publishing to sail into the uncharted waters of the new medium. Ten years later he was one of the best-known people in Canada, primarily because of a television series called THIS HOUR HAS SEVEN DAYS, which regularly reached more viewers than HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA. During its spectacular two-year run, Watson was on the front pages of the nation’s major newspapers week after week.Throughout a broadcasting career that began in radio 61 years ago, he has written, produced, directed, acted in, or hosted literally thousands of television programs and films—from creating children’s radio adventure drama to globe-girdling documentaries, from anchoring a daily news show on New York City’s famous Channel XIII to producing/directing for Jacques Cousteau. As well, Watson hosted the first CBC Current Affairs series to be named for its host and created the Historica Foundation’s famous Heritage Minutes. In THIS HOUR HAS SEVEN DECADES, Watson gives a first-person account of a sunny and adventurous childhood, the early days of broadcasting, the troubled years of his chairmanship of the CBC, and the myriad of projects of the in-between and later years, in a frank, gossipy narrative that reflects the story-telling skills that have made his novels and historical books bestsellers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCapturing one of the most outrageous stories of the Capone era, this is the twin biography of a couple who defined the extremes and excesses of the Prohibition Era in America. ";Machine Gun"; Jack McGurn, a babyfaced Sicilian immigrant and Al Capone's chief assassin, and Louise May Rolfe, a beautiful blonde dancer and libertine, paired to represent the epitome of fashion, rebellion, and wild abandon in a decade that shocked and roared. Detailing McGurn's suspected role in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and his sensational alibi, this biography shows how the couple captured the headlines in every newspaper in the country, had their hipster speech copied by Hollywood, and were the spellbinding poster children of the new jazz subculture. More than a look at the joie de vivre of two lovers caught in history's spotlight, this work examines the continuing allure of the Roaring Twenties and the characters who inspired America's love affair with gangster literature and crime cinema.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKArmed separatist insurgencies have created a real dilemma for many national governments of how much freedom to grant aggrieved minorities without releasing territorial sovereignty over the nation-state. This book examines different approaches that have been taken by seven states in South and Southeast Asia to try and resolve this dilemma through various offers of autonomy. Providing new insights into the conditions under which autonomy arrangements exacerbate or alleviate the problem of armed separatism, this comprehensive book includes in-depth analysis of the circumstances that lead men and women to take up arms in an effort to remove themselves from the state's borders by creating their own independent polity.
